Console Wars - Place your bets

[Raedon]

Consoles are odd electronic devices. You can find 5 different TV brands in Best Buy but it's all about price. Only in the world of the Console do people get heated up about hardware. Battle cries over bits and polygons, price points and game exclusives.

It is a war, make no mistake about it and who will be the next to fall the way of Atari and Sega?! MS? Sony? Nintendo?

There is a fanboy factor of 10 on this so please back up why you think -this or that- will fail.

Honestly, I think everything will be pretty much the same in five years. I think the audience is large enough for three consoles now. I wish someone else would step in the ring, but I don't think so.

Did you just crawl out from under a rock, Raedon? I just saw you post for the first time in a long time today. We've had quite a few topics on this, including one that's just been bumped back to the first page.

It's been done.

Wrong - there are hardware discussions all over the internet - bike parts, car parts, graphic cards, guitars and even coffee machines - people love to argue about such stuff ;)
