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

technically this is true, the GC hasn't been released, well, only in Japan, but not here, so a even judgment on that question cannot be answered, I don't see many console wars topics on FoG anymore, they used to be the highlight of my day.
it's good to express your feelings about consoles, and although most people don't buy every console and just get the one playstation or dreamcast, this makes them slightly biased, even if they had all of the consoles, they'd get a new dreamcast game, and the playstation would stay unplugged, saved for a rainy day.

Yeah Seifer, people say things like "PS2 is MUCH better than Gamecube" and have they got a Gamecube??? I think not!!

*Rickoss starts to think long and hard for no apparent reason*

Well put it this way, people are going to get respected and treated better if they treat all of the consoles with respect. I do, and I get ridiculed 24/7, Why!? It should work the other way round!

If I buy a gaming magazine, I buy a neutral magazine, I want to get all 3 of the next genaration consoles as they all appeal to me, I want it all and I want it now! I don't think any less of people who post 'Nintendo's consoles are better than Sony's consoles', I just laugh at there lack of there logical thinking in weighing out all of the posibilities of what each of the consoles have to offer
