 Every once in a while we get people in here who start making fun of one system and start proclaiming the one they have to be the almighty best system of all time.  I'm posting this to give reasons why all their claims are stupid and are only given out of jealousy out of not being able to own all 3 systems.

Playstation 2: Some people complain and moan about how Sony is only in it for the money, and how they know nothing about Gaming and how they're trying to take over the industry instead of trying to make good games but thats is BS.  If Sony was only in it for the money then there would be nothing but crap on the PS2 but that is far from the case.  The PS2 has some of the greatest games of all time on its system.  Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy X, Jak And Daxter, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Virtua Fighter 4, I can go on and on so for people to say that the PS2 has no good games is full of it.  The PS2 has one of the best game libraries on any system right now and if people want to deprive themselves of these great games then thats their problem.

X-Box: Where do i even begin here? Here are complaints that I've been hearing about the system. "Its too big so i dont' like it" "All the games suck" "bill gate made it so I hate it" "Microsoft knows nothing of the console business" " Look, it has a hard drive, microsoft wants to turn the console into a computer"  My response to each of those. As in regard to hating the system because its too big is probably the stupidest reason I've ever heard for hating a system.  Size of a system doesn't matter, its what the hardware can do that matters.  Just cause it doesn't fit on your fanboy desk is no reason to hate it. When people say all the games suck i tell them this, Halo, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Buffy, Splinter Cell, Unreal Championship, Ghost Recon, Genma Onimusha, The Thing, Blood Omen 2, should I go on Do your homework before saying a system has crap games on it. As for people hating it cause Bill Gates made it, what did he do to you? Did he steal your lunch money? Bill Gates is responsible for lots of Computer programs and odds are your using his programs right now and don't even know it so saying you hate it because bill gates made it would make you a hypocrite. When they say Microsoft knows nothing about the video game business, I say they are totally wrong.  They know enough to get the right exclusive games like Halo and they know enough to cement top developers to their system by having them make exclusive games for their systems (Sega and the recently purchased Rare) They saw what Rare had to offer and bought them out so they obviously know what Rare does in the videogame business. And finally with regards to the hard drive, don't mock it till you drive it. The Hard Drive allows people to store an insane amount of game files and it also lets you burn Cd's which you can listen to during some games.  Plus with the hard drive you can download and save levels, characters for certain games nuff said.  X-Box has a bright future and for people not wanting to jump on the bandwagon cause the name Microsoft is attached to it then I'll tell you guys how the ride is.  The thing i hate the most is most people who say they hate X-Box have never even played it, they have no right to judge a system without having experienced it themselves.

Nintendo: The Kiddie Company, The company that prefers children over adults.  I hate this stigma that has been attached to Nintendo.  No matter what Nintendo does, this stigma always comes back to haunt them.  I'll say this one and only once, Nintendo makes games for everyone to enjoy. Their games are designed so anyone can play it, from little billy to joe the biker, everyone can play their games.  I'll give examples, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Super Monkey Ball,Mario Party 4,Star Fox Adventures, these are games that many classify as kiddie but you know what? These games are hella fun.  They were designed so that everyone could enjoy them, I guarantee you, almost everyone who has played any of the games i mentioned likes at least one of them. Nintendo makes games for everyone. "But Nintendo doesn't have any truly mature games".........sigh......Metroid Prime, Nightfire, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero, Metroid Prime, BloodRayne, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Agent Under Fire, Star Wars Rogue Leader, Die Hard Vendetta, there now get off my lawn.

To sum it all up, Fanboys are most of the time people who can't afford to buy all systems so instead of respecting games that another console has all they do is b#tch and moan how that game should come to their system since it'll be much better on their system in their view.  I guarantee you, If you offered a free X-Box to a person who claims to hate the X-Box that they would take it.  We're all gamers here, I'm a gamer, I've loved games since I was 6 when I got my original NES and when I saw a great game on another system that I didn't own I didn't insult it, I respected the game and the system it was on.  Real gamers love all games regardless of the system that its on and they are willing to at least acknowledge a great game even if its not on their system. Fanboys are not real gamers, they don't love all games like we do, People willing to hate a game or system because of the name attached to it aren't real gamers and really have no business making the kind of comments that they do.  I've said all i've had to say about this topic. I'd like to see some replys about this sort of thing from you guys.  Thanx for taking the time to read this.
