console wars have been going on since the inception of gaming. It will never stop. Ever.

That site apparently got blown off the net. Will try to read later.

It's gotten so bad on here in recent years that it has made me avoid all of the hottest topics. Pretty much every hot topic on this site is plagued with fanboy comments. If there is a Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo article, you can guarantee that comments will be full of fanboy rubbish. I bet fanboys that are reading this comment will even be slightly annoyed that i said Microsoft just before Sony or Nintendo, that is how bad it is on here now.

If there are any adults taking part in these childish fanboy arguments ( and i am sure there are ) then you people really need to grow up. These days, gaming seems to be more about who can come out with the worst childish comments more than actually playing games.

The funny thing is that i only see this rubbish on the internet, nobody ever says any of this in public. These people are obviously ashamed and embarrassed to even dare to say any of it in public.

Brand loyalty is okay to a degree. If a brand you like consistently puts out products that you enjoy, that's great. People take it way too far though. Fanboys often take brand loyalty to an almost religious level with the praise and the bashing of anything else. People need to realize that not everyone is the same, nor likes the same things, nor wants the same things, etc. And that's great! Competition is great for gaming. Innovation is great for gaming. Some things will be popular with some people and not others, some will be widely popular, and some will flop, but it's all worthwhile and helps keep the industry from stagnating. You don't have to like what everyone else is doing, but just respect that others do and probably feel the same way about the things you like. Maybe this community wouldn't get so toxic at times if that was the case.

I don't want to jinx it, but I'm loving the positivity in this comment section

I love Xbox and Like playstation, but I hate PlayStation fanboys.

Some people here aren't true gamers

Every year a new group of gamers reaches puberty, so I think platform wars are here to stay. Part of life, part of culture.

People literally try to tell me that something is wrong with me or I'm lying to myself by liking a certain brand. Like a difference in preference is impossible because of whatever deluded reason they've thought up. Like I'm going to spends 100s of dollars on something that I don't really like. I think it's hilarious and sad at the same time.

Its the Media. They are behind it They write the articles that create the fan wars.

The Media isn't going to stop, so neither is the rage.

All you consumers need to wise up, and comes to terms with who your enemies is, The Media and the Power brokers who own the Media.

Morpheus:

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see. Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. "

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

Wuchang is great. Nine Sols didn’t have a physical copy so I never played it but I’ve heard good things so I will check it out. I stopped playing sports games many years ago when before the card dlc’s or whatever they’re called.

Last comment… ):

Great month for others, but not me. Hate soccer and soulslikes. Maybe Nine Sols is good.

🫡 it was fun while it lasted, N4G.
