The psychology of the console wars
nintenman99 (2014-07-21 22:09:03)Personally, i'm rooting for Nintendo. Please don't hate.
Are you retro?
Crush42 (2014-07-22 00:19:33)Well, I don't do the whole 'diehard fan' thing with consoles. I know when I see a bad game or console. I like XBox because I feel it has the best and most comfortable controls, as well as a good bulk of the DOA games as exclusives. I like Nintendo because they innovate, usually having other companies copy their strategies for a larger market. Plus, they've got amazing classic games.
I just don't like Sony. They have uncomfortable controls, a poor selection of exclusives, and frequently 'do their own thing' by copying their competitors and calling it good, when in fact, it's always worse. That's just my opinion, tho.

Nin10dude789 (2014-07-22 00:30:24)Each company has their strength and weakness, but neither companies are perfect, and will never be.
I'm on Nintendo's side because of their exclusives they had since I was growing up. They're willing to risk themselves to do something different rather than joining a curtain bandwagon. In this gen's case, powerful systems and FPS.
I like Sony because of their amazing exclusives as well, and has verity of games from around the world, not just the US.
Xbox is my least favorite. Obviously running by a greedy company, do whatever they want to do that we hate, and poor hardware. Their games doesn't get my attention. Halo is good, but not worth to buy the system just for that game. All I see on Xbox are shooters. I'm really sick of shooters spamming shelves.

carlos11 (2014-07-22 04:28:46)I guess I'm a Nintendo guy. Nintendo is all I've ever had, so it's sort of been imprinted in my mind. I can no longer bring myself to like anything else because it won't feel right. I don't like a lot of things they do, though.

nintenman99 (2014-07-22 20:30:39)I mean, my first game system was a Nintendo 64. My dad gave me a PS2, and then sold my 64. I used to have a PSP as well, but i will always stick with Nintendo.

pikarceus (2014-07-23 05:05:54)I honestly prefer Sony because they strike a good balance between Western and Japanese games. Nintendo is all Japanese, MS all Western, aside for a few exclusives in the early 360 years, and watered down multiplats.
I mean, games like Ni No Kuni and Persona are only on PS. I don't think I could survive without those.

As evidenced, the reason we stick on one side is because, when we fall into a group, the way we hear things about the enemy side changes, and the way we hear the info gets distorted, making the info about our own group superior. What do YOU think about this truth?
