No one wins the Console War

Everywhere, on the internet, on the streets, with your friends, people argue about gaming consoles, and frequently the argument PS3 vs. 360 comes to mind. People can argue about it all they want and will typically never get anywhere.

With a true competition a winner is determined in the end; the same goes for everything, even Politics, where once a winner was determined these arguments died off, becoming very rare, and in most cases pointless.

However it is different gaming, in this so called “console war” no winner is ever determined, no console will be the one at the top, no console will be the “champion of consoles.” So what are we really fighting for?

That is a question that comes to mind frequently, are we fighting for sales? Are we trying to prove that the system we use is better? Is there a reason we should fight and argue which one is better?

In contests we are fighting over that vote, we are fighting to show that our side is better so that side can win and be the ones with the trophie, be the one in command. But when it comes to consoles people fight, just to fight.

Commonly people say that Xbox 360 is winning, but what is the criteria to determine that? Who said Xbox live has better features, and who’s to say Playstation exclusives are better than 360 exclusives, this is all opinion, and there are no hard facts.

In this generation you either like the PS3 and hate the 360 or visa-versa. I personally love all three consoles and think they are all great systems, but the second I say I prefer Gran Turismo 5 over Forza 3 I get called a PS3 fanboy. A while ago I wrote three articles on the cons of each system, and in both the PS3 and Xbox 360 articles, I got called a PS3 or Xbox fanboy. It seems being neutral in this generation just isn’t allowed.

I could go on about this all day but seeing people didn't come here to read a 1000 word write up ill stop at this; No matter how much you fight, no matter how many people you cuss at online, there will never be a winner, because in my opinion, all consoles this generation have successfully funded their company's, making them all winners.

There is no "war" This is a frigging piece of plastic for God's sake!

news4geeks5445d ago

disrespectful to the ps3 fanboys who lost their lives through suicide during the early years of the war.

I look at it the same way you do. I don't see one as "better" than the other. I just have fun on my systems.

On the last paragraph, did you got your inspiration from the ending quote of Spiderman 3? LOL I couldn't help but notice

If people would leave me in peace and let me enjoy my system of choice there would be no 'war'.But no such luck.
