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.

Hey no one forces you to use Ms Windows but so far its the best. They also have a range of good and useful software, even all games have bits which are coded in a Microsoft package eg C and C++. So Ms dont suck you do.

soory, i never read the voice of reason topic.

Anyway it is a very important point. Look how lord semajal has reacted. Consolism is still very strong, and should be stopped.
