The reason a lot of you argue so much over consoles is..

Ok, it's a 'master of the obvious' reason but I thought I'd post to see what the consensus was. (From a psychoanalytic POV)

Based off the thread below on peoples ages:

It is obvious that a lot of you don't work full time and are quite young. That is fair enough.

Would it be fair to say that because a lot of you can only afford one console, it causes you to be more inclined to defend your system?

wow,thats alot of long words...but im young and i think to 'defend' a system is ..kinda sadcharley_mcd

Yup, but you notice I didn't say 'all young people' would feel the need to 'defend' a system.

they try to find the smallest thing about the console to bash it, "teh wii is kiddy" "PS3 flops" small things like that.

(havnt seen any MS bashings)

the simple answer is: fun.

No i do it because its fun.

Also people do have preferences you know :|

I have a High end pc, 360 and a gamecube and i prefer my pc FAR more.

I'm fifteen, working three days a week, for minimum wage. Since I got my Wii on launch I have bought all my own games. Wii, DS, 360 and games. It's added up to $1160. Quite a bit for less than a year.

You're only 15 and may not realise it but you've done an incredibly good thing for yourself. It is hard to save up and get the things that you want, but do you notice how much better it feels to earn something as opposed to just having it given to you?

When you are older you'll better realise why getting a job early in life was so important. It develops life skills that will help you out big time in the future. (bit of a lecture but hey, it's true)

It is true that a lot of younger people get jobs at 15/16 etc, but of those, a lot don't know how to save up to get the things they want.

i argue because its entertainingplat1num913

They have nothing better to do, I guess if I had a boring life I would do it to,

and as to the topics subject i wouldnt be arguing if i didnt enjoy it much like Abicus7

Also b/c some people like doing it? Argue in a forum, show off your intelligence. But be proved stupid, then easily leave, avoid the embarrassement and come back later. Debating endlessly without a consequence, there's some fun in that.manningbowl135

yeah what he said
