In Sonyers, Xboxers and Nintenderos
As I say on Twitter, I'm a little paranoid about this issue. Some people accused of SONYER me and then accuse me of Xboxer other. It makes no sense! At least it seems that it's clear I'm not Nintendero ...
Let the record straight, to this day, I think the best price console games and online system (though not without faults and fat) is the Xbox 360, but I'm not fanboy. I reason things and I can change my mind in terms of events and news because all I want is the best machine at the best price and the best games and I do not care who comes from Japan, U.S. or Burkina Faso.
Sometimes it seems you can not think of anything until you cross out of such and such a fan of console and that bothers me a lot. I think you can say whatever you want as long as you give reasons. And please, no one should take the criticism of his beloved console it personally ... It's ridiculous!
Then there are those who extol the console that has been purchased and criticize the other to justify their purchase and they do it to death. You do not! And how can they criticize the other console without knowing it? I think that to criticize over and must take the 2. I have them all but the PSP (which not miss) and test the 2 games and I can assure that almost always better for Xbox 360, probably because the tools that Microsoft provides developers are better and takes longer in the market, which means that the games are more polished. This is so much you're upset and PlayStation fanboy (and that there is much in this country). Yes, the PS3 has more travel, but today and for instance, FIFA 09 is better on Xbox 360. I assure you.
It takes a very objective. No matter what console you're a fan of it must be recognized and wrongs of each console and, above all, do not defend your own to take it to the end of disrespect and even insulting. Being a fanboy is quite incomprehensible and bring it to this extreme, intolerable. As you pointed Pep Meristation director, in a column some months ago , being a radical little help to the industry of video games and goes against the interests of the players.
You can not criticize Gears of War 2 for Xbox not be exclusive Resistance 2 to be exclusive to PlayStation 3 also brought by the hostility that we have done the opposite console. Must be evaluated objectively games, and if another platform exclusive different from ours, accept and try to organize actions to make it multiplatform, either online demonstrations, petitions on the forums or any other like that.
I encourage everyone to defend their console exclusive games and what they want, but with respect and acknowledging failures and mistakes of its own console. In this way succeed to improve the consoles. If you defend to death your PSP, not criticize it for anything ever, I can assure you is not never going to bother to improve it (touch screen or hard drive or the like, comes to mind). We must praise the good and criticize the bad, without being drawn into senseless bigotry. So Flop more.
