Or everyone but the "always online" crowd who relies on "alpha-male" podcasts to tell them what their opinion should be.

Yeah. I like the PS controller more, but that's it. I also only play like 3-4 hours a week, so not exactly a cornerstone of my self-image.

Seriously "how dare this person love something that I don't like" it's ridiculous This is not the mindset behind Console Wars --- The mindset is people overvaluing the thing they have...compared to something else. It's basically trying to brute force the FOMO out of your mind. And it's an obnoxious front to make themselves feel better about it.

This might have been an unpopular opinion 15-20 years ago when the console wars were at their peak, but not anymore

I think there's a relevant discussion to be had though. Like, why would one make the decision to buy an Xbox when it's not going to have exclusives. And then when you're a kid and you could get excluded because all your other friends got X but you wanted to get Y. So it's a relevant debate and there's reasons to have it. It's not about superiority or brand loyalty, it's about making good purchasing decisions and not accidently getting excluded from being able to play with your friends.

It's okay to hate on a console. It's not okay to hate on a person for liking/disliking a console. We all have different preferences. Let's be decent human beings.

All such wars are dumb: coke/Pepsi, Mac/Windows, Ford/Chevy, Nikon/Canon… What difference does it make to me which of these someone else uses?

From the consumer's side, sure. From a marketing perspective, it's absolutely genius. Sega does what Nintendon't!

The thing that sucks full 100 percent is no cross-platform play.

That is just how they sold and helped garner more attention for people to buy their consoles. Genius strategy if you ask me as we can all see people love conflict. Whether it is in the form of tv dramas, controversy out in the world, or fighting, there is always someone willing to tune in.

Only valid opinion on the console wars is they're dumb as hell and exclusives are a trash policy.
