I used to bad mouth other consoles saying they were rubbish and whatnot. But then I realised its the games that count, not what there made on. Mabye one console has better graphics capabilities than others but the gameplay isn't affected by this. Take Quake3 for example, its out on the PC, DC and PS2. I've played on the PC and DC versions and they're exactly the same in the gameplay department. So in conclusion, bad mouth the games, not the console they were made on.
Just for old times sake, Nintendo kick @$$!

Consoles wars have been doing the rounds since I can remember, even in the days of the Comodore64 and the Spectrum there have been console wars. Us gamesplayers just seem intent on proving that we have the best, for some inane reason, we feel this will prove something to ourselves, quite what, I still haven't found out!
I am as much to blame as the next man, however, I do have to say that I can feel myself maturing and realising that the constant "Mines better then yours..." doesn't prove anything, to anyone. Back in the days of the Commodore64 I can still remember spending more time saying "mines better then yours" to my fellow Spectrum players then I did playing the actual games. I'm not saying Console wars are a bad thing, it's just we should realise that each and every console has something that the next doesn't. So for that simple reason, we should have them all...and if we can't, there is no need in trying to kid ourselves that the console we don't have, yet secretly want, is no good, or that the console we have is the best in all areas.
I currently have no good words for the Dreamcast, (Sorry FM :-D) however this is something which steams back many years, to the Saturn...yeah, you remember that? I feel that if Sega can produce something as poor as that, then I don't want to know. I should know of course, that we all make mistakes, and we should learn from them, I'm sure Sega will. However, it may already be too late...the console is doomed in my view, as soon as the GameCube and Xbox hit our shores the console will be finished.
However, it already has a classic in the shape of Soul Calibur and so how we will look back on the Dreamcast in years to come, is anyone's guess! The console war is really
hotting up at the moment, with the arrival of the PS2 only a few months ago and Nintendo's very own next generation console, not to mention the X-box, and so us gamers are once again trying to prove that 'our' company will produce the next best console.
The problem lies in the fact that sometimes we no longer worry about getting the best games, but just our consoles successor. The fact of the matter is we all live for one thing, to see and play the best games around at the current time, and to be able to say in years to come...I was there! However, this can only be achieved if you own more then one console, why? Well, because each console offers something that the next one doesn't. If you stick to one console, you are limiting what you see and play, and that is not a good thing. Brand loyalty is a good thing, yet when it goes too far...when people keep talking about their experiences on other console, you have to question what your missing out on. I know I certainly do! As much as I rubbish and bad mouth the PS2 I am still scraping around desperatly trying to find the money for one!
So, why limited yourself to one company's style of the video game scene, at the end of the day you will be the only loser. Console wars will go on forever, we will continue to back our own systems, continue to rip the proverbial out of others, yet will we continue to live our dreams? Well, if you stick to one console...no, if you broaden your horizons you will find what you really want. We as gamers are about to enter the next stage of the video gaming scene, we about to live the future that I’m sure everyone has dreamt about, our expectations are getting ever greater, we want more, we expect more...hell we even need more.
We have never had it so good, so just take advantage of the situation, it's true that what you don't know won't hurt, but if you don't at least have a look at what else is out there,
you will never know what adventures you have been missing out on. We are all of the same breed. We all play games to get some enjoyment out of them, and so what does it matter which system we play on, as long as we can live our dreams...that's all we should be worrying about, not whether mine is better the yours!

The Fall of The Playstation

If everyone thought like you, Gameaday would have to close tomorrow due to a lack of posters....
