Did you ever have console arguments at school?

[mαrkαsscoρ]

There's always been the console wars at schools since the days of Sega and Nintendo, people just like their branded technology. Have you ever had any debates or arguments with schoolmates over which system was better at the time? Whether it's a small conversation or an actual heated argument.

The only time I can think of for me was 11th grade, these guys I knew were all about the Xbox 360 and they knew I liked the PS3, so there was a couple times where they got on me for that and the whole thing was just ridiculous. It was all for fun though and they were just messing around, it's just funny how they were touting the 360 for multiplayer games and I'm like, I don't even play multiplayer. That same year I remember a classmate at the table I was in was touting the PS3, and I had one so I was good there, ha.

I always said the gamecube was better than the PS2 and everyone was like "nah the gamecube doesn't even have online"

I'm too old for console wars now, happy with both my PS4 and my switch

I didn't get much exposure to gaming debates from peers, and that was what drove me to seek out ways to talk about the games I liked online. I do remember in Middle-school and High-school though that most gamers were of the consensus that the Xbox 360 was superior to the PS3, but the big debate was always surrounding the inconvience of console exclusive games, and everyone trashed on the Wii U throughout my High-school years.

I remember hearing the perpetual "Wii U have no game"
although at the end of its life there were quite a few games

Nah, me and my siblings all agree Nintendo is the best. Unless you mean fighting over who gets to play, then yes.

nah all these years later, I still think Iwata's quote of gamers not wanting to play online is ridiculous

yeah, but that doesn't automatically make the ps2 better than the gamecube

 

[Chevywolf30]

yeah, but that doesn't automatically make the ps2 better than the gamecube

Just because it doesn't have one fancy feature the other does doesn't mean it's an inferior product.

nope, the games make the ps2 better

Spoiler

take the bait

I'm actually with mark on this one since I've played a PS2 a good bit and never seen a GameCube.


Just extreme nostalgia bias.

Not until I was in the Army. My platoon was in our platoon office when one of the soldiers brought up how they'd been playing Fortnite on their Xbox One. I mentioned that I too had been playing Fortnite, but on my Switch. He scoffed at this, acting as if I wasn't really playing Fortnite if I was doing so on a Switch.
