Neutral.
All very well in chemistry, but doesn't work in the games world.
Everyone is fed up of arguments over which console is the best. I'm not just referring to these forums here, either - take games mags for example. Have you tried to count the number of times a single format mag has got letters about how they shouldn't slatie other consoles, or has boasted it makes no comparisons so as to remain impartial?
I can't stand it. It's a bad thing, not a good one. Maybe a particular console plays the games you like, and you're happy with that, but by saying that whether it is the best or not "doesn't matter", and ignoring the other consoles with their strengths and weaknesses, you're putting your head in the sand. If your console 'loses' the console wars badly, then it's not going to produce any more of the games you like! Did you ever consider that the other console might also play games you like?
A console is an investment, and so should be purchased with the future in mind. Unless of course, you can afford to buy it just for the current crop of games, which is unlikely to be true in any situation other than the end of the console's lifespan.
It IS a competition out there. The rivalry may be irritating at times, but ignoring it is not the answer. It won't do you any good. You should care whether your console is the best, or how far short of greatness it falls.
I want the console I buy to be the best on the market. Is that so bad?

I'm sure it was more than two.
Anyway, er-no knows better.

it was only er-no and dringo saying that. No need to diss the whole ninty community on the basis of the comments of those two.

okay let me just check out whats been going on today in here....
BUT THEY BLOODY ARGUED! STOP IT!
what does it matter anyway? yes the psone has more racers so? the N64 has more contoller ports...so?
But the fact is, a Ninty said that the N64 had more racers than the PSone, which is blatently an uninformed lie.
Whether they were any good or what type of racer they were is inconsequential, the fact is, the PSone has more racers than the N64. End of story. Don't argue.
