Hey guys, isnt everyone tired of fighting about which console is better and which one is pants?
Even right now we are fighting over consoles with pictures of what we find wrong with them. (evil boris you really are evil! :-( ) Why should we care so much about other consoles we arent going to buy? Why do we waste so much time fighting with the same arguments? :
PS2 like a giant heater
GC Kiddies toy
X-box I hate bill gates because he's rich and im not!
I think that people are just so insecure about which console they buy, that they have to reassert themselves buy saying other consoles suck out of prejudice. Take lord semejal. Anyone notice how he says anything not nintendo is automatically pants? he wont even bother to give the item a chance. He would buy anything with a nintendo seal on it instantly. He has only ever played nintendo games out of this prejudice, and therefor doesnt know the joys of MGS, Gran turismo, and sonic. Can you see how prejudice limits you and seals you off?
I am not prejudiced, and I have been playing on nintendo since the original game boy and the snes. I have been playing sega since the megadrive and the game gear. I can see that all consoles have brilliant games, and that i shouldnt just say 'it sucks' because it isnt nintendo or sega.
I have done Business studies at Gcse and they even have a word for this prejudice : brand loyalty. This is why coca cola remains dominant over pepsi, and why sony could get away with 2 controller ports. Brand loyalty is manipulated by the 'suits' every day to make you buy things. And it works. Dont you have a free mind? Dont you have a choice?
You dont if you are consolist like lord semejal.
This consolism is what destroyed the dreamcast. It was the first real internet ready console, and genral fear that it was better than the ps2 made people resent it and not buy it. It could have been great. IT could have been one of the best consoles of all time. Now we will never know, thanks to consolist views.
The worst part is that this same prejudice caused by insecurity happens in everything else. People are so scared that other people and things are better than them and there things that they even turn violent to protect themselves. Dont let any part of your life be prejudice, no matter how small.

Yes the name was to contradict myself, seemed like a good idea at the time. But the thing is that prejudice is not a visible action but it gives you the impression of something automatically being bad or perhaps positive prejudice where you think it's gonna be good. Everyone will have some form of prejudice whether it be to the console market or life in general.
And coffee is bad for you at this time of night, Red Bull is much better and also gives you wings. So they say.

Well everyone is entitled to preferences, as long as they dont take these to far and become prjudice.

I think you'll find that everyone takes a liking to something or someone more then the next thing. I won't automatically think because Perfect Dark was a N64 game that is had to be a pile of crap, I give them a chance and judge for myself but I found in my opinion that most of Nintendos games are not for me and are just too kiddie like.
Sony on the other hand have created the best console on earth and I'm also looking forward to the X-Box even though it looks so damn ugly it must have been created by a blind man. But then again 'You shouldn't judge a book by it's front cover', so PS2 for Birthday and pre-order a X-Box for Christmas *Mr Nice Guy wakes up*, I'm getting a new PC for my Birthday and I'm happy with that as all the best games seem to be availible on the PC.

Yeah, well a fan doesnt go way over the top shouting at anyone who applauds other consoles.
c'mon, You have to admit that you are at least a little biased towards nintendo.
