Guys I was wondering what you guys think would happen if both consoles launched on the same day? I can imagine the chaos, fights and bickering back and forth that would be going on. Would this be a good or bad thing to do on the respective console makers parts?

I am left absolutely bewildered as to why people would create 'chaos, fights and bickering' over loyalty to an inanimate piece of hardware.

Ps3 launch involved guns, might as well.

I was working in a supermarket next to a big eletronics chain on the day of the PS2 release (inside a big shopping center), it was the most hilarious chaos i have ever seen (and this in a small EU country, Portugal).

The store opened at 9h30 am instead of 10am because of the crowd that as at the doors, as soon as the vertical doors started to rise, people tried to squeeze through the gap and pushing each others. The store was flooded with people and then the fights started. The security from the supermarket and the shopping center rushed into the store to break the fights. Me and other Supermarket employees just stood watching from the outside, not believing it. In less than 30min all PS2 units were gone.

So yes, console launch days can provide you LOADS of entertainment!

Best quote of the day. A lot of people here forget that the crap that we talk about is lost on others who care about more important things.

That will only happen in forums, which in case you didnt notice already happens every day here.

I hope you dont actually think gamers would be waging gang wars in stores over systems and starting fights because they have to star eachother down at the register. Nothing will change beyond where they are at right now with everything being contained to online forums and blogs.

What are you? 6 years old?
