okay tony hawk's underground is iconic
Did you ever have console arguments at school?

unfortunately it kinda does to some people, which is why we saw the gamecube lagging behind sales wise during that generation
I haven’t, really. I’ve used both PS and Nintendo consoles for years, but never really talked about my interests back then, so it never came up. I brought Nintendo handhelds to school, and other kids did too, so that didn’t make a difference either.
That said, I didn’t care then and I don’t care now. Consoles aren’t made better than the others for any reason other than appealing to a consumer’s needs. I still use both PS and Nintendo now because they both serve different purposes. One isn’t better than the other. Just more useful in a different way.

I think there is merit to preferring a more technically powerful console. While a beefier console doesn't necessarily lead to better games, it can lead to bigger and prettier games. Something like Breath of the Wild looks nice, but it'd look a lot nicer with a stable resolution and a higher frame rate.

I'm actually literally the only Nintendo fan in my class. Everybody else likes PC and XBox games. For an honors class, I guess they aren't terribly smart... XD
(That was a joke btw, everyone has preferences)

Oh, definitely. I'd love a Breath of the Wild that runs at 1080p (or higher) at 60fps. While it ultimately doesn't bother me too much, I can't deny the appeal of having all my first party Ninty titles running on a console that can make them look their best, instead of Nintendo's underpowered offerings.
no pls
60fps botw is cursed

It's never been a big issue, I just never mentioned what I played to many others. Not many of my friends had Nintendo consoles, so I never got to play with others much. As for XBox vs. PS, I've always sided with the PS folks just because of the high quality exclusives. Now that I have a PC as well, PS exclusives are really all I'm missing out on.
Neh. 's so smooth looking and nice at 60 fps.
It's smooth and nice looking as it is.
Nice looking? Definitely. Smooth? Eh. Breath of the Wild's frame rate is noticeably flaky and inconsistent in areas that contain grass and fog (noticeably the Lost Woods). Even my naked eyes can see the dynamic resolution shifting as it tries to keep the frame rate as a playable level in spite of the mist floating around and bogging it down. It's something that would just be objectively better on beefier hardware.
it's like 60fps anime
there are certain visuals and effects that are made specifically at 30fps and they just look eerie at 60
I'm in the lost woods right now and it's fine.
But would you think that if you film and console gaming hadn't taught you it was the ideal frame rate?
No, because splatoon looks great at 60fps and unplayable at 30fps
FPS is not purely bigger=better, it's an artistic choice as often as it is a technical choice. I prefer 30fps dark souls to 60fps as well, although that's not a very popular opinion
I think what you say has some merit, because part of what makes a movie a movie is our expectation of 24fps
But in the case of botw I really dont like 60fps for how unnatural it looks
