"This thread is embarassing and it just proves that places like 4chan and NeoGAF have really hurt the gaming community at large. Everyone is an agenda motivated fanboy full of hate for inanimate objects."
This is hilarious. Console fights aren't new. Xbox vs PS2, PS2 vs Dreamcast, N64 vs PS1, SNES/NES vs Genesis. This shit has been going on since as long as video games have been around.
I mean here's the problem (anecdotal). My fiancee's grandparents who have own a wii since like a year after it first came out asked me about the system at Thanksgiving. There's a new Nintendo out, what's the difference? My answer was simple, "it's a new system and the games look better, but now one of the players uses a big touch screen controller, but not all the games require or need it." The Wii used to be so simple, point click, go. Add controllers and different setups and new names that don't differentiate from the old name enough and this is what happens. Nintendo confused the casual gamer after already alienating the hardcore ones. I'm waiting for a 3D zelda or mario before I get a system myself. Looks like i'll save money while waiting.
