So, Xbox and Playstation, which is better?
STOP!

Xbox and Playstation are two consoles, why are there so much hatred between them, just because I wanted to pay 5 a month to play Halo matchmaking doesn't make me a bad person, to be honest I have nothing against Sony themselves it's just the majority of people who purchase their consoles and hate an another that get's me mad.

My friend the other day made a good point, he said if consoles never existed, everyone wouldn't be as angry as they are now.
Think about it, do you ever see a 12 year old kid playing Arma 2 and raging to the point where he smashes his headset just because he died? No.
But Xbox and Playstation, you see kids, even teenagers raging just because they were one kill off an airstrike.

If you add up the total costs you spend on an Xbox 360 or a PS3 (That includes games.) then you would have probably been able to buy a decent laptop and play games off that.

Yeah, I know "But then we'd only be able to play the old Halo's and Call of Duty", but just take a look at the many games on the internet, I'm sure you'll be amazed.

Reply your thoughts, I'd like to know what you think.

I hope you don't take offense to this, but in my opinion, this rant is stupid. "he said if consoles never existed, everyone wouldn't be as angry as they are now". Dafuq? Do you realize that the gaming industry survived because of consoles? Back in the NES days, Nintendo revived gaming. Back in the PS2 days, Sony brought gaming to a mass casual market. Microsoft released Xbox Live in the early 2000's, and since then, the scope of online gaming has completely changed. Great franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Halo, Uncharted, Gears of War, Metroid, Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Kirby, etc, etc, that have revolutionized their respective categories (in most cases) were there because of consoles. If consoles never existed, video gaming would not be where it was today. People raged in the NES days, people still rage now. To answer your question about the 12 year old Arma kid, I don't really see many kids playing Arma these days, but I'm sure there are tons of 12 year olds raging in Arma.

The fact is, being a PC gamer or Xbox/PS3 gamer has nothing to do with the amount that you "rage" when you lose, that is a personal problem. I like how you turn this into a PC is better argument. To be honest, laptops suck for gaming, and the latest version of COD is available for all PC's.

No I do not take offense to that, but I hear your opinion and to be honest you're right and now that I look back I have made a stupid rant, but I still dont get why people dont accept Xbox and Playstation to just be 'consoles', half the time I get picked on by a group of people because I prefer Xbox over Playstation.

But i suppose it can never be sorted, thank you for replying.

People who argue over consoles are just ignorant.

They both play games so whats all the fuss over it?

Also when you did that Arma 2 12 year old example it sounded like you are trying to input that PC gaming is better than consoles.

Where would we be if there were no consoles? Just think about it really hard.

Console gaming is really what revived the video game industry, like Establish said.

I never took the p*ss out of other consoles, I have nothing against Playstation and I am an Xbox gamer, my friend was the one who pointed out the PC idea and everyone is entitled to teir own opinion.

Uhmmm... I don't feel like consoles are the root to all evil, they are great. No one will clearing jump out and say I hate this console blah blah , they may prefer one over the other, because one is sufficiently better... But that's not the point. It's eaisier to play games on a controller than with a mouse and letters. Idk I still pefer consoles, and people would rage on what ever game you give them, console or not. I raged while playing donkey kong before on the original game boy.

What you like is purely subjective, and there will always be hatred in our world just due to the opinionated nature of being a person.

Meh, what can I say, "People."
