That may be so, OP, but compared to the PC as a platform, every console comes off as a joke. I mean, when you're limited as much as a console user, the freedom of owning a PC as a gaming platform is like being liberated from slavery. Therefore, as much pointless console wars are, owning a gaming will always be the ultimate superiority.

It's the same for both really. If you're not retarded, you'll get a modded console and play for free. The same goes for PC, you filter all the gamer shit and pirate everything. You can't be dumb when it comes to gaming.

Sure, but there are reasons to own a console, which are as equally good reasons to own a PC.

>>319739548
Envy is a big part too. I think OP is right in that it only blew up thanks to SEGA and IGN which deliberately continue to flame the console wars.

Which you can't really blame them in doing - it's the only way they're staying remotely afloat at the moment.
