The Console War
139 days 8 hours ago | by: strembones
Recently I just bought a Playstation 3 after 15 years of PC gaming. I did a ton of research online on which console I should buy. The 360 or PS3. Thats when I was introduced to the world of the console war. On the PC we never had anything like this. Sure there were fanboys of different games and even PC manufacturers but nothing like in the world of the console. So much venom is spewed over who is the best and which system will reign supreme when the dust settles, it really brings a smile to my face to see people fight just to validate their purchase. In the end thats really what it is all about. Nobody playing a 360 cares about Microsoft, just as nobody playing a PS3 cares about Sony. So in the end, whoever wins the console war, if there is a winner, all it will do is make one side feel like they have made the right purchase.

The war has had some positive effects though, that I will admit. We as gamers are getting tons of great features on our respective consoles. From Xbox live to Playstation Home (if it ever comes out) all of us in the end win. If I could I would go out and buy an Xbox right now just so I could experience everything Microsoft has to offer (excluding the red ring). So lets keep up the fight and watch the console giants continue to give us great features on our systems! Let them fight for our hard earned dollars. Make them spend a ton of theirs all on us..the consumer. We do this and everyone all around will win.

I haven't even mentioned the Nintendo Wii. This system is blowing everything out of the water. The reason for this I believe is because it is so easy for a family to jump right in and enjoy it. People my mothers age all the way to my 3 year old daughter can have tons of fun on it, and thats just something the PS3 and 360 will never have. I own a Wii but as a "gamer" this system just doesn't have enough for what gamers demand. Mainly killing our fellow gamers and calling them noobs.
