Being the proud owner of all three console systems I have grown rather tired of the whose system is better. Alot of gamers out there sound like five year old kindergartners saying my Daddy can beat up yours. What's funny is that it gets worse every generation. I remeber back in the NES and SEGA days. The sega master system and nes didn't seem to go toe to toe all that much. You move a few more years down the road and you get the genesis and super nes. This was the first time you could see real competition between the two systems and this began carrying over to the people who played them. Now system wars has become a cut throat society where you get slamed for playing the same game as someone else but on a different system. What has happened when all that mattered was that you where a gamer and you go along because you had that in common with someone else.
We as gamers should not bash a fellow gamer because they have a ps3 and not a 360 or wii instead of a ps3. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses. Having all three I have been able to see this. In my opinion PS3 handles media playing better than the 360 while the 360 handles online better (it should since we have to pay for it). The wii I have found it is great for a bunch of people getting together to hang out. A person buys a system to suit their needs or even their budget.
I used to be one of the individuals that I am writing about right now. I used to bash the Playstation fanboys and proudly thump my chest as being a 360 owner quite a bit. But due to my wanting to jump into the blu ray movie market I decided to get a PS3 and I got my wii because I was intrigued by how unique the system was. From that I learned that use each system was great in its own way plus I don't have to miss out on the great games but I understand that everyone can't get all systems but I will no longer bash a person if they don't have the same system I do because they still belong to the same group of people. WE ARE GAMERS!
