[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 43012, member: 1196"] I just wanna say, ten years ago (when I was in my mid -late teens) I owned all 4 then-current gen consoles (living at home + working = mad disposable income) and back then, there was no debate, everyone knew the pecking order. Xbox>Gamecube>PS2>DC, "power" wise. There was a little debate over whether GameCube was as powerful as Xbox, and some preferred the cleaner image quality and better textures of Dreamcast to the higher polygon counts of the PS2, but at the end of the day everyone was in agreement, for the most part. There was never weird excuses like "lazy devs" when a port was inferior or people clinging to first party games as if this proves their system was the most powerful. Nobody cared. I miss those days. And after Dreamcast died, PS2 was the weakest home console, but that didn't stop it from outselling Xbox and Gamecube, what, 3-1 combined? PlayStation fans didn't care their system wasn't the most powerful so I'm not sure what happened. Closest thing I can remember to this current situation is the Sega Genesis vs. Super Nintendo days. I owned a Sega Genesis, and so did all of my friends. Out of like 10 kids in the neighborhood 2 owned Super NES and I never recall, ever, not once, getting into any kind of debate over which system was "better" or "more powerful". I'm sorry to say but I just feel my generation is smarter and more civilized than kids these days ( I have to assume most of this fanboy wars is comiing from 17 and under). Nobody was delusional back then. We knew Mortal Kombat 1 was better on Genesis, we knew Mortal Kombat 2 was better on SNES. We knew Madden was better on Sega, we also knew the glory of Tecmo Super Bowl on SNES. We just had fun and enjoyed all the best games, and we were 10 year olds. [/QUOTE]
