I'm writing this topic because i'm sick of people going on like "I hate Ninty" and " I hate Sony".
Acting like 2 year olds whats the point in taking sides because for example I f your Ninty and so are all your friends then Sony bring out a Playstation 3(or something like that) and it's the best console you've ever seen and then you buy it. Your friends being Ninty will call you a "traitor" and everything else they can think of. Is this really worth a friendship?
On SR things just keep going back and forth "I hate Ninty", "I hate Sony", "I hate Ninty ect.
This has been going on for ages and it's started to really get to me. One of you may like a PS2 more than a Gamecube, thats fine but do you have to hate Ninty? Theres no point in hating a company just because you prefere another company.
Even in magazines do this, but thats just so they get sales, do we have to do that? It's like being a human advertiser.
Whats your thoughts on this?
Thanks for reading Rickoss

Fundamental. I meant fundamental.
To tell you the truth, I'm sick of learning findamental quantities in Physics.

LOL, nice one
But if your console didn't have sides, nothing would be holding the top up, and it would fall on all the technical bunf inside, and probably damage it.

I found myself thinking recently, i don't conider myself as particularly drawn into consloe loyalties.
But the plan for a long time has been to get a Gamecube. I thought about waiting for a dvd one, then changed my mind and got a seperate dvd player. Then i started thinking about PS2. The thought of buying one had never come into my mind. I thought about why.
Was it merely that i trusted nintendo to make the gamecube best? After n64 my confidence in their capability to create something successful with serious 3rd party support was inevitably shaken, and the wait is likely to leave me for a total of around 12 months (spring '01 to spring '02) buying one console game - new tetris, because it was cheap and catchy.
So why not PS2? It'd have solved the dvd and games problem, and though expensive, i could have streched to it. I considered how i looked at sony as a console brand, just loads of cheap run of the mill games.
Then i thought about it a little more, there were lots of bland, shallow titles, but also pleanty of great games, and those just from the ones i played on my friend's machine.
It hit me. Though i didn't see it coming, or realise i was there, the marketing suits had me predjudiced against the competition to the point where i'd disregard them without a second thought.
Ah well, now i have a dvd player i'll go on waiting for gc. of course, it means the ninty marketing-machine has won one more sale, but is sony realy any better?
