Yea, as a person caught up in a lot of fan boy/girl(yea, they exist) hate I've heard some pretty bad reasons to why someone hates the game system, so I made a list for you the public to vote on, and discuss about in this topic.

Ps. State some of the bad excuses you've heard I'd really like to hear them.

lol, I love that excuse. I would have added that however I didn't want to direct the polls answers towards a certain console, or company, so it would relate to more people without provoking fan boy rage(soooo scary that it be)

mmh, I'll make a new rule here. Unless the game has more than 6 disk there's no right to complain about the swaps.

Nationalism and racism

who made the console, or rather was the console made by westerners (americans)or easterners (japanese) I.E. nationalism and or racism.

Stupidest reason by far and even tho people don't state that hatred directly, look at what happens when ever ther's a thread about western dev's vs japanese devs/ WRPG'svs JRPG's ect. and look at the owners of the consoles who bash Japanese (eastern) developers and or games....there's definatly a relationship

Overrated exclusives, at least the others have something to do with the console itself.

I don't hate consoles, having had them at home since the Atari 2600. But, I know a few flight simmers who regard them as "kidstuff". Actually, not just consoles but FPS games as well. Of course, they're fighter jocks and pilots in real life. They can easily afford dual-SLI (quad-GPU), multimonitor setups.

Console did have 4-D graphics as advertised. Console was too expensive.

Worse excluse: It doesn't have built in WiFi and a browser. :roll:

They still make a game look good which I consider as a perk not a necessity. Still crysis, and kill zone 2 where really good games even without there graphics.

There really is no good reason to hate one console or another, only reasons to pick one over the other. And I feel the only valid reason to pick a specific console is if it has the games you want to play. All other reasons are pointless.

For me, Controller.

I don't care how raggedy a controller is, of all the gaming systems I've owned since the Atari 2600 and NES that my older bro gave to me, I've adapted to all of them and mastered all. I personally don't like the 360 controller as much, because when I go to press the "square" equivalent button, I end up pressing the start button (or whatever it is on the 360). But guess what? If I was foolish enought to buy a 360 (which I'm not currently...but who knows maybe next week I'll turn foolish), I would learnt he controls and master them just like I did everything else.

If you can't play with a certain controller, you are indeed a noob'ish gamer to me.

"When I was younger and I was going to buy my first console I picked a certain console due to what consoles my friends had and what console was the best advertisied. As I grew up and gaming went from one generation to the next I continued to buy the console made by the company I chose. Now I hate anything that isn't made by that company because of some pointless loyalty".

^That even though it's not much of an excuse :P

I remember back in the 32-bit/64-bit era, people hated the PS1, because they felt that using discs would be too high-maintenance, too expensive, and they thought that discs wouldn't catch on as the future of gaming. Seriously.

Not really. Ann ethnocentric believes basically in the superiority of one´s own ethnic or cultural group,but doesn´t necesarily hate other ethnic groups(that would be racism). The term ethnocentrism was coined by William G. Sumner, upon observing the tendency for people to differentiate between the ingroup and others. He described it as often leading to pride, vanity, beliefs of one's own group's superiority, and contempt of outsiders. This,in a way,explains the feelings the japanese(for example) have towards the westerners and their videogames(since this is a VG forum)and other cultural diferences.

All of the exclusives are overrated. Even the Wii have quite a few great exclusives. IMHO, the most bogus excuse out there.

The most popular excuse at my school is "It doesn't have Nazi Zombies!!!!!" when it comes to the Wii. I'm dead serious. Well, that and of course, graphics.

well i have alot in mind

some even pwn cows ,,

heres one

ok say last gen , sony had least powerful console , nobody said oh its graphic suck , bla bla but nintendo uses that tactic this gen

they are all over them , shaking fists=this would fit with your lame graphics poll

another one, -reliability , you know darn right ps2 had problems another think picked up buy not nintendo but ms , ,

and people are all over it

another one i hate especally -

this starte in the n64 era-oh the games are kiddy -they refer to goldeneye perfect dark turok etc etc, ,

how in the world are these kiddy, when they make up for about 65 percent of n64 libray-shooters and fighters do ,

and lets just say i hate this excuse ,, cause this one isnt even relivant any more-no online play bla bla bla

a game can still be fun without online ,,

just cause others add online play , doesnt mean this should be enforced ,

and then theres these sales excuses , -how can you even justify these excuses , why a system sells bla bla bla

itsj ust lame , they complain when their system does not sell , but when it does they still gotta run their mouth ,.

hate fanboyism always will ,the worst fanboys are those of sony consoles,

-cows, you know em they are the same people who said wii would be a fad ,,

4 yrs later sony copied them and they jump for joy , , , so evidentally , wii was revolutionary, hahaha , thats the only part i like is hwen they get their foots in their mouths , but at the same time they praise sony for it ,

but hate nintendo for it ,

haha its not nintendos faul t sonys slow to adapt to innovation ,

and i dont call changing medium (carts to cd cd to dvd dvd to bluray etc) revolutinary as they serve the same purpose ,

there is nothing different except how much it can hold!

that is like saying a plane is better then a car just because it can fly ,

,

there are draw backs to everything on this earth , ,

so obviously that will be my main pick -being mad because one does somthing then being happy when some one copies it ,

Owning a selection of consoles from Atari 2600 to current consoles, and saying that controler complaints are a no no. That makes me wonder if you ever owned a 5200.

I'm not directing excuses at certain consoles otherwise It would just be another "whats your favorite console" poll. And these are real ones I've heard :P
