Am I the only conscientious objector in the current much touted 'console wars'?

The foot-soldiers in the battles between X-box, PS2 and Gamecube are fighting a war that they can't win. Wars of words between owners of the three main consoles merely distract from the actual point of all this - the games...

..and will you all still be fighting when the X-box 5, PS 7 and Gamecube 3 are on the shop shelves??? What is the point?

The three consoles are all pretty much affordable now. All three have their own strengths and weaknesses, and deciding which one to buy (if you cannot afford to buy all three) is merely a personal preference.

If I had the money, I'd buy a Gamecube. But I'm not going to get into any slanging match with X-box and PS2 owners, or put them down in any way...

...and all this battling between console owners merely creates casualties in the console war; shell-shocked gamers who get the shakes whenever anyone says the phrase 'polygon count'...

Personally, I don't care if they court-martial me. I refuse to fight. I'll be a conscientious objector in these console wars and sit here with my first-generation, breeze-block style gameboy and play Tetris...and have a whole lot of fun.

Give peace a chance!
