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?

It seems to me, that the sony owners need a crapload of poor quality games, so they can compare them to thier "top" games. Just some psycoligical crap so thier best games feel better.

I'm not, I'm arguing against you!
:-D
:-D
Yes, the PS1 had far, far more. None were any good, but still, far more.
See, here we go. Bloody Nintys talking out of their a***s again, always arguing against people who know far more than them.

9/10 of them were generic F1, Rally or realistic driving games.
You only wanted 1 of each, not the millions that came out.
The N64 had a fair few realistic racers (not quite as good the the PS ones) but it easily beat the playstation when it came to the more fun unrealistic ones.
I personally find the realistic ones seriously slow and boring and I wouldn't get them even if it was the Gamecube game that everyone was raving about. You might feel differently ofcourse.

The PS1 had absolutely loads of racers, at least 2 each month!

You don't compare them.
Rollcage and Wipeout (which is on the N64 anyway) comapre to F-zero X which was faster and more playable than either of them.
N64 doesn't have much in the way of realistic racing games but I find them seriously boring anyway.
BACK TO THE TOPIC:
Now Venom, in your experiments you should've noticed that when you add acid to an alkali there can be fierce reaction until you get a neutral salt.
So you add an acidic Nintendo player and an Alkali Sony player and after a heated argument, you get to the point where they can't be bothered any more and the topic begins to neutralise. Ofcourse, what PH the topic ends depends on the ingredients.
If you put in more acid in than alkali then the solution remains acidic.
It also depends on concentration too. I like to think of myself as a PH 1 Ninty. The Newbies who come out with "the greystation poo sux" are more of a dilute PH 6 who are relatively easy to neutralise because they make it easier for Nintendo to be targeted and they just get ignored in the end anyway.
The Nintendo forum is pretty acidic. The PS forum is strongly alkali.
I'd say that FOG is more or less neutral...
