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?
(I can see a war coming on...:) )
