I have been looking around the site and it seems you cannot release your views on the Next-gen consoles without being hit by a volley of abuse.
But I raise the question - has anybody PLAYED one of them? No?
We could waste our lives arguing about hardrives, modems, pixels, polygons etc, before weve even seen the consoles. I mean an Atari system had a 64 bit processor, but wasn't quite as good as the N64 was it?
I'll accept that some of you have played an imported PS2, but i'll bet it's a small majority. I'll understand that some people are loyal to Nintendo, some to Sony, but that dosen't mean that one is better than the other.
Does anyone care what the console looks like, how the controller feels in your hand, the quality and price of games, or how it looks by the TV in your bedroom?
Or do you just want to prove that the company you support is better?
The Gamecube may have better specs, and the PS2 look nicer, but can we postpone the arguments until after the consoles are released?
That is all I have to say.

"how the controller feels in your hand, the quality and price of games"
(Yes, I do. A lot. I want to play quality games, with a comfortable controller, and at a decent price too. So yes.)

"and the PS2 look nicer"
(No. It. Does. Not.)

Actually, I think it was 2 32-bit processors - the 64-bit claim was a lie.

Followed by an attack on PS2 in the PS2 forums, assuming you are the same "superboff".

Did someone say hypocrite?
