Ever since MS with the PS2. Now MS fanboys are trying to redeem their pride.

ItsBriskBaby

I think that already happened. The 360 is a great system.

No the games are good, but the hardware is trash.

Just like the PS1 and PS2. Go figure.

[QUOTE="johnlennon28"] the sad part is some people are ok with it, like sriously, how can someone stand a console or any product that you know have a big tendency to break any minute..Armagadem

When the company in question extends the warranty for 3 years for no fee :P

Wouldn't it just be easier just to get something that doesn't break. It's like toilet paper do you want to keep running out and getting it for free for a limited time. Or get a good brand that lasts a long time and doesn't run out (i.e. break)

I was just joking... Though the 3-year warranty was nice.

Are you comparing a gaming console to something you wipe your backside with? wtf :lol:.

I always hear people arguing about what's better PS3 or Xbox and I wonder, where did it all start? I personally have a PS3 but that's because most of my friends had it. I don't really think one is better than the other, they both have good exclusives and fun online play, so what's the big deal?Armagadem

Same way every other "Console War" did:

Little Billy bought an XBox. Thought it was the best thing EVAR!!!!

Little Jimmy next door got a PS3. He thought IT was the best thing EVAR!!!!

Billy and Jimmy started talking games on the playground... and drama ensued.

people like to argue and they can't argue which system sells more because Wii won that hands down and they can't argue which system has the best looking games because PC wins that hands down...so people are left making qualifying statements and arguing about second place in these topics because those two consoles are so similar.

When Sony took over the gaming crown from Nintendo. It was only natural that another large corp, was going to "jump in"

Well said. People have ego's and that is where all wants flow from, most are ridiculous wants for status. Like proving one's choice of console is the right one.

Why do people argue about anything? Why do Mac and Windows compete? Why do the Zerg and Protoss fight? Why was Jesus crucified by the Romans? For the Lulz.ferret-gamer
Mac and Windows don't compete. Didn't you hear? They are the same platform.

Well this isn't really fanboys rage no one here on this forum has actually just blantly messaged something like XBOX RULES or PS3 ROXS! We're just discussing the topic and having and having a good time and maybe poking a little fun at each other and each system but no one has gotten carried away.

It started when Microsoft released the XBOX and Sony released the PS2. It continued when Microsoft made the Xbox 360 and Sony made the PS3. I really don't understand the question if it's any more involved than this. Two similar products entered an industry with very few fellow competitors and offered similar experiences. They immediately started to compete the second the original XBOX was announced.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Console wars, they always been around.Armagadem
I know, but what's the point? Everybody has their preference. It's like religions. When someone tries to force theirs upon you, you try to tell them why yours is better. Why can't people just keep to themselves?

The "point"? This is an incredibly obtuse-for-the-sake-of-it thread, my friend. I'd be willing to wager that you know perfectly well what the "point" to all of this is, as do most low-level accounts who immediately find their way into System Wars. Somehow I feel the reasons behind the console war are not lost on you, I think you know better than this.

uh dude i have already talked to administrators and other people that work for gamespot on a different thread about this. It doesn't matter how fast I level up, like they said it's not a game or a race, I should just enjoy my time on the gamespot website. I didn't know it was so bad hear other peoples opinions. Oh what's that word I''m looking for umm (Democracy cough cough). I just don't see a need to fight about systems and I was asking about other peoples opinions so instead of ragging on me get your own info straight buddy and don't jump to conclusions!

I'm sure there must have been some heated atari vs colecovision wars like "well my system has 16 colors and yours only has 4."

FastEddie2121

Nope, even the Atariboy's knew the Coleco was better in all ways.

Now Atari and Intellivision... oh man, that was ugly!

No need for the soapbox, we both know what's going on here. If you don't see the need to fight about systems, you should probably avoid a forum explicitly titled "System Wars", in the future.

Ok well maybe you should read what the forum is called. How did the bout start? Not why has it kept going. There's a difference and you are arguing about the topic I didn't start a forum about. And I went to system wars because it seemed like the best category to put this in. So maybe you should read that warning next time about how to make sure you read what the topic is completely before you start commenting.
