Console Wars: Why All the Hate?

It's the classic debate that's spread through generations of consoles: Nintendo vs. Sega, Sony vs. Nintendo, and now Microsoft and Sony battling it out in one of the bloodiest console wars yet - and with each generation of consoles comes the hardcore gaming community, supporting their console of choice with their last dying breath.

ppl cant accept that both systems are great and stop senselessly arguing.

ImWithStupid6801d ago

I started out owning both 360 and PS3 and am now fully in the sony camp.

I was ALWAYS annoyed by having to pay $50 a year to have ANY online play at all with XBOX1. The only reason I put up with it was because the PS2 was not as powerful as the xbox. This time around Sony has covered all the bases.

The most power platform barnone this generation

Free online

GREAT and I mean GREAT first party titles

and the best controller scheme in the industry.

The ability to play Bluray content.

all these are what convinced me to go solely playstation this time around and yet this is what hateful xbots try to slam about the system.
So how can there be such a start contrast in perception over technology. Im not your average Joe, I actually have a high paying position in the technology industry. seems to me like someone is lying through their teeth and it's not PS3 owners.

caffman6801d ago

has just demonstrated the main reason.

@PerezBros
I'll tell you why, cuz its human nature. Im really in to politics (i know, i know, why? but i am slowly getting myself out of that dreck!) and this is the way it is in politics too. See people will always side with something, and downplay any negative aspect of it and over exaggerate anything bad about their opposing side or views. Its just human nature! humans have this loyalty thing, and once they "side", they side! You know what i mean. I know, its sad, and stupid, but its just how we are. It just goes to show you what some of our flaws are. Personally, i am getting sick of it too, it is retarded and pathetic to be fighting over these video games systems, but herte we are doing it all the time, but thats just the nature of the beast! (Yes i am calling us "humans" beasts). Now to-do-loo, I gotta get back to my 40, and may the fighting continue. I know it will. Cuz you people cant rise above it. Im sorry, i am not trying to insult anyone, but rather am just being real (as i am in all my posts), but prove me wrong, and rise above it, dont tolerate it and if we all work together, than maybe, just maybe, it'll end. But nah, i dont think so, so flame on playa's, flame on. Mmm, 40

ReconHope6801d ago

the wii is great 2. its just not my thing. lol

fury6801d ago (Edited 6801d ago )

...but i will be sure to buy one when new games are released. Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Brothers Brawl etc.
I don't want to miss those games, and that's why i will own all current consoles in the end.
Currently i own the XBOX360, and i've recently bought a notebook for myself. I am a poort student, haven't got much money, but i hope i'll be able to buy the PS3 and Wii next year along with a new HDTV.

felidae6801d ago

i totally agree with you guys.

stop the hate - play games.

fury6801d ago (Edited 6801d ago )

...we as gamers should stop all the hate. OK, the Wii may have crappy hardware (regarding the power) , and not much games. OK the PS3 is damn expensive and hasn't got many games, yet. OK the XBox360 breaks way too often and the Ring of Death gets slowly but surely on our nerves.

Every console has its weaknesses but not every console has the same games. It's the variety of games that come along with different consoles we should appreciate.
Seriously people, stop the hate, grab a teddy bear and cuddle each other. WE as gamers can profit from the competition that Microsoft, Sony and Nintento fight out.

THAMMER16801d ago

Good read. Sony and M$ have created reasons to be hated by gamers. I also think the FUD and ignorance is just as unexcitable from gamers.

XbugPosse6801d ago

...Sony ain't raping their customers like MS ;)

THAMMER16801d ago

This is what the article is about. M$ and Sony are out to make money from this. They both have problems and you’re sir are extremely bias also. The 360 is a good console and the RROD is a problem. With out that what would you complain about? What will you say when this issue fades out like the PS2 disc drive issues? Please straighten up your act.

M$ has a problem with consoles sold and Sony has a problem with consoles they can not sell. Hhmm you do the math.

"Bethesda Pinball" for "Pinball FX" Review \\ paulsemel

A critical look at the "DOOM," "Skyrim," and "Fallout" tables in the new version of this virtual pinball game.

needs some Wonder Woman :P

beerhound1d 22h ago

I would prefer a "Starfield" one.

DefenderOfDoom21d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

These are the same Bethesda tables from FX3 now upgraded for VR . I bought this Bethesda pack for Pinball FX3 around 5 years ago. But when the new Pinball FX came out a few years ago , they wanted me to buy the same tables again, which is ridiculous .

Seven cancelled racing video games that could have been great

From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.

Agent7512d ago

Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.

Storm2312d ago

I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.

darthv7212d ago

Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.

Storm2311d ago (Edited 11d ago )

For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.

Video Game Stocks Plunge on Fears Google's Genie 3 Will Replace Game Engines

When Google unveiled Genie 3, an AI that generates explorable 3D worlds from simple text prompts, investors responded by dumping video game stocks en masse—wiping out billions in market value in mere hours. But in their rush to flee, Wall Street confused "playable environments" with actual video games, ignoring the technology's hard limits while threatening the human creativity that makes games worth playing. As the industry faces a future of automated mediocrity driven by shareholder demands, the panic reveals a deeper truth: investors aren't betting on better games, just cheaper ones.

same level of fear that gen ai will replace art ... it is a tool that will help to prototipize open world games, but to completelly substitute game engines ... we are still a long way from it

z2g12d ago

Duplicate story. Or does Christopher just remove xbox stories that are similar?

Commentby12d ago

Humans have been developing things to simplify jobs since the beginning.
AI is going to remove the human factor from the job, but it can never replace all jobs that need a human factor.
I wish I could see the end of the story. What is the end, end goal, final piece, etc.
Is it a world run by machines, do humans live in a free world, does a dictator finally have an robot army, do humans finally free of working forever, does ChatGPT create an army to defeat Gemini., so many possibilities …
