It’s a debate that never has a clear cut answer or winner, especially with everyone here at World Gaming. People will always talk or actually argue about what’s the better console and who’s winning or losing the battle for supremacy.
Who gives a shit? I say to each his own. You play and use what you like. Who’s to say what’d better and what somebody else should prefer? It’s completely insane but if you Google ‘console wars’ you’ll find just over a million results ranging from articles, blogs, forums, and even YouTube videos with dopes talking about what’s the best console.
A complete waste of time if you ask me and I’m glad somebody high up in the video game industry is saying the same.
The top dog at THQ, Jack Sorenson, thinks the argument and comparisons are pointless as well. In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz Sorenson said there was ‘too much emphasis’ on who is winning the battle for best console. He went on to say “I think [the console war] is totally irrelevant. Even in the history of the business, other than something like the Dreamcast, you can do decent business on lots of platforms. So the issue is not who wins, it’s can an independent publisher do a good business on that platform. We’re thinking everything from high-end MMO all the way to cell phones.”
Personally I think the console wars are relatively pointless to argue about and I usually stay out of it, even though it’s great for World Gaming and it drives business throughout the industry. But I have to admit that the debate is somewhat relevant since the number of games and console sold always effect a certain system.
Let the debate continue………….
