I am going to keep this one short but sweet as it is both a tedious and often controversial subject that nearly always results in a pissing contest between fan-boys. Yep, you guessed it, day 7 asks for my Gaming system of choice. For me, it has to be the Xbox 360, quite simply because I have owned it the longest out of all of the current gen consoles. Yes that's right, the meaningless gamerscore I have accumulated over the years of owning a 360 is the sole thing keeping me from giving my Playstation 3 full attention, or indeed from buying a Wii. Well, that and I don't want to get RSI from a Wiimote and smash my TV screen as the damn thing ejects form my wrist after vigorous flailing. Hell, I don't even want to use a Wiimote. It just sounds embarrassing.
In all honesty, the PS3 is a decent machine- I can admire it for its technical superiority over the competition. Also, the free online gaming is not to be sniffed at. And as far as Nintendo is concerned, I cant say a bad word towards them as their previous consoles have been my personal favorites of their respective generations, in addition they have produced some of my best loved and most overplayed games. However the real reason I keep with Microsoft's expensive time bomb, and this time I am being honest, is simply because I have made some good friends via Xbox live and feel it would be a big middle finger towards them if I ditched everyone for a technically superior console. And yes, I lied to you before about the gamerscore thing. Sue me. So after all the millions invested in one-uping each other, my loyalty has been secured by a completely unrelated and unforseen aspect. Somebody at Sony is going to be pissed. And if you are pissed for having your expectations of hard drive, blu ray and motion capture comparisons dashed by soppy human social requirements, then you are probably a biased little fan-boy and I am glad I have offended you. Get off my property.
Damn, after writing this I am paranoid I may be going all soft in the head. Time to go commit virtual genocide on Xbox live like a real man. Best of all, I can do it with friends! Ahem, bad-ass friends of course. Thanks for reading, and if you are actually looking to buy a console, I recommend the PS3. But shh.
