I want to start out my first blog by going on record and saying that I choose no allegience in the so-called "console wars". I may have a preferred system, but I will never try to debate how great said system is, and why everyone else is wrong for saying otherwise. The fact of the matter is that everyone has different tastes and preferances...'different strokes' as they say.

The most rediculous part about all the "fanboys" who zealously boast their preferred system is that none of them get any money or kickbacks from the companies, nor do they see any percentage of profits made, so why is it so important that everyone play the system that they choose. I guess it's akin to the political parties and the way democrats always say republicans are wrong and vice-versa. I imagine most of it boils down to human insecurity and the need to feel that we are somehow better than others...regardless of how ridiculous the claim is, or how irrelevent the topic is.

Here is my solution. Play whatever system you want...hell, play all three. Play what you like and don't worry what everyone else is doing. If you are the only person in the world playing the PS3 and you enjoy, then good for you...continue playing it. You don't, however, need to go on some sort of crusade trying to convert people to your system like you are a missionary for Christ.

You will never hear me bash someone for the game or system they are playing. Occasionally, I will question why people pay $50 dollars every year for Madden when it is just the same game time and time again, but I don't go on message boards and ridicule those who do so.

I guess tthat's that. I know that this will, in no way, stop the bickering that is so prevailent on the boards, but I can say I tried. We all know the only thing that can stop the current "console war" is when the next generation of consoles release and we get to start all over again.
