I don't understand console wars

You've seen it. And you know what it's like. You scroll through #Gaming, and see yet another console war post. And I honestly don't know why they exist? I have compiled a short list of theories, but please add to them / correct them so I can understand: - People like to feel superior due to arrogance and ego - People take joy in irritating others - People feel the need to defend their gaming platform when it doesn't need defending - People crave attention, even bad attention Still, what's the point of a console war? Xbox, PlayStation, and PC all play many of the same games (minus exclusives), and the gameplay isn't much different. The difference in graphics, memory, and capabilities between the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 are very small, if any, and in no way detract from their games or gameplay. PC does have better graphics, allows for nearly unlimited mod potential, and is very customizable, but a good PC build requires a significant financial investment, and requires work, whereas consoles can come out of the box, be plugged in, and start gaming immediately. If you prefer a console simply because you like the exclusives or are loyal to that brand, good on you. Enjoy it. Love PlayStation? Awesome! Enjoy Xbox? Fantastic! Proud of ypur PC? Excellent! I love my gaming platforms (Xbox and PC), and would like a PS4 as well, but I can't responsibly buy one right now. I ask of you, no, I challenge you. Stop intellectually fellating your own egos. Stop feeding the trolls. Stop craving attention. And stop jerking off to your hate mail and negative responses. END CONSOLE WARS, ONCE AND FOR ALL. Because we are all gamers. We all play many of the same games. We bleed the same blood. Shake hands with your fellow gamers. Embrace your console, and respect the others.
