In my time here, and throughout my history of gaming, I have noticed that people are very biased to their machines. There has been a bit of gloating by the Ninties on prime topics at the mo, and that has spawned this.
Nintys recon they are the best. They will not take it any other way. Even though the Cube isnt out yet and wont be for quite a while, they are claiming that it is the best machine ever made. They are happy to s**g any other machine or game not on the nintendo, regardless of how good it is. There is bragging by the nintys in prime topics at the mo as there are some PS2 titles being converted to the Cube. Does that make your machine any better? No! It means that they want to sell great games to a wider audience.
Sega fans used to be similar. Fair enough, the DC was a great machine, but I have heard from a number of people a while back that the Dreamcast was the only choice for hardcore gamers, and that the PS was cheddar in comparison. The majority of these changed their tune when the PS2 was released, and the rest followed when Sega announced the death of the DC and the games were coming to the PS2. They have generally lost their attitude against other machines and can accept the quality titles that exist on other machines, though they still like the sega games. Fair enough, Sega has made some great games.
X-Box fans are few and far between. They are wowed by the screenshots, yet understand that they have a lot to fight, so they take a back burner and wait for judgement day.
Sony fans seem to be the more rounded sort. they have great games, just like the other machines, but there isnt as much of the "mines better than yours" rubbish. They understand that other machines have great games just as much as theirs, and can appreciate the merits of other machines.
Of course there is exeptions to this, people buy machines because they like the games, or they like what the machine has to offer. Its that some get sucked into this mindset that theirs is the greatest. I'm not saying that there arent Sony fans that say the PS2 is the best thing since sliced bread, or that there arent ninty fans that say that the PS2 is a good machine but they are holding out for a Cube. Im just getting tired of all these Ninty fans banging on about how their new machine that isnt even out yet will completely anialate all opposition based on some specs and some screenshots. At least until your nachine is out? yes?
Why cant we all just get along? Accept that there is more than one great machine, there are many games that are good on every playform, and not s**g people for not having your personal bias towards your favourite. It's a bit childish, isnt it?

Slaveunit, don't be so damn stereotypical. I agree with Bonus. I expect it's very convenient for yourself that you are a member of the group that leave other consoles alone etc.
I did buy my PS2 because my PS1 was great, and I recon thats a fine reason. I had played a DC and an N64 before I bought the PS2 yet still preferred my PS1. Then PS2 comes out and it has all the PS1 games like Ridge 5, Tekken Tag, GT3, MGS2, and I knew that it was what I wanted.
You see you've contradicted yourself. The arguement you have raised now is "Sony fans are better than MS/Ninty/Sega fans"
I remember before the PS2 was released. The DC was shunned by loyal Sony PS1 fans just because they were waiting for the PS2. On reflection would these Sony fans have bought a DC knowing what a poor launch the PS2 had? I doubt it.
The statement "i bought my PS2 for good reasons...because my PS1 was great" is not a good one. How many consoles sequels have been, honestly, better than their predecessor?

Or maybe we are just more mature than other gamers
I like games on other machines too and I dont start saying that PS2 is better than anything else. X-Box and Gamecube arent even out yet so there is no point in slagging them off. But seriously, everyone should realisethat PS2 is winning the war at the moment.

I like my PS2 very much, and I feel that I bought it for the right reasons. Yeah, I had a PS1, but my friend has a DC and another mate has an N64, and we swap machines quite often. My DC mate wants to have a go at the PS2, so I'm getting the DC again for a week or so soon.
I got a PS2 cos when I had my PS1 I played a lot on the other machines, but never missed them when they went back, but I always liked my PS1.
I do like the DC, Mr Driller drives me mad, Crazi Taxi, Res Evil, and so on, I just like SSX, DOA2 and GT3 more.

Heh, I think this guy is using some sort of reverse psycology to prove that he himself is not a Sony zealot. But then again, maybe he just likes his PS2.

I've seen some posting in the Nintendo forums, but - thankfully - they tend to stay out of the FoG forums.
Anyway, they're just as stoopid and deserve just as big a slapping down as the Ninty's.

Oh believe me there are plenty of "Sony rulezzzz, Nintendo Lamecube is 4 da babiez" sorts out there!
But you're right, there are more Nintendo zealots.
Um, my zealots are better than yours! :-p
