No its not petty and im sick of people saying that. Its petty to argue like an idiot fanboy but to look at the flaws of one console and compare it to another and convince others to choose the stronger console is how you make a corporation compete. For consoles to get better one company has to make something amazing then we as consumers have to vote with our wallets on if it was good or bad. Not discussing the goods and bads of a console isnt childish but can be done childishly. In this example sony has supported a dev in releasing this game. Sony needs to know this is a -blam!-ing disgrace and is wrong. Xbox allowed the MCC to be released in a really -blam!-ed up state and needs to know they need to not let that happen.

You're sidestepping the issue here. I'm not saying that debate is a bad thing, just that it can be done in a mature and constructive manner without the need for profanity. Having a discussion about the positives and negatives of competing brands is fine, as long as it doesn't result in insults and elitism (see OP: lol Sony drones are stupid because the PS4 got one bad exclusive lololol). There obviously needs to be competition for there to be any real steps forward so a company's consumers aren't dominated by a monopoly that never needs to innovate. That's all I'm asserting.

You said console wars are stupid but i disagree and say that is what makes the industry grow. How is that sidestepping?
-
When I said console wars are stupid, I meant the stupid, elitist statements like in the original post. Console wars and friendly debates are two entirely different things.
-
So now you're redefining your statement... who was sidestepping?
-
I'm actually not. If you read my original comment, I'm referring to those elitist statements that I associate with the phrase "console wars." Competition is one thing, belittling is another. That is what I was referring to.
-
You can belittle while competing so you're still drawing divisions where there are none.
-
I don't see how I am. If you think that it's okay to insult someone based on what console they prefer, then you're part of the problem.
-
I think if somebody believes something incorrect and states it as fact is stupid. Which means i am belittling them but i am not wrong.
-
Okay, but then what does stooping to their level accomplish? "Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

The not discussing part is supposed to not say not.
