what do you think the general public would think of gamers?

or even better, imagine they had posters from SW on a show, some PS3 fanboys, some nintendo fanboys, some 360 fanboys...and let them debate.

how do you think that would play out to the rest of the world outside of gaming?
how would the system wars mentality shape peoples perception of gaming? of gamers?

It would be a boring show for the regular person. It's like if they did a report on the racoon-lover's forum, and you were watching.

"Silver-haired racoons are such a fad!"

"At least they didn't flop like the brown-haired ones."

Would be sick:

They would interview some of our significant others(or moms as the case may be), and we'd get quotes like:

"he gets so darn worked up on those system wars" and"whywouldn't the governmentstep in and stop the fighting"

It would expose the world to the superb insight of the System Wars crowd, or, more likely, someone would would probably get fired.

It would be like this:

Interviewer to Sony Fanboy: So, which console is the best?

Sony Fanboy: THE PS3!

Interviewer to 360 Fanboy: So, which console is the best?

360 Fanboy: THE 360!

Interviewer to Nintendo Fanboy: So, which console is the best?

Nintendo Fanboy: THE WII!



Pretty much the most useless interview ever.

They don't wear white coats anymore. They dress casual and they usually get the cops to pick you up. Wait what are we talking about?

There be schoolfights because of people claiming which sytem is better. Parents will be concerned and the ESRB will have another reason to make a console that is user friendly. Hopefully all that doesn't happen.

" This is Bob Simon from 60 minutes reporting to you from the World Wide Web were we are witnessing a war greater then anything going on in the Middle east. Thats right millions of Mountain Dew cans and Cheeto bags have been laid to waste all thanks to something know as System Wars.

To the average person this might seem like your typical forum, but no this goes far deeper than that. welcome to a world were logic isnt relevant and what 'I say goes' is the only means of defense in this cold hearted wasteland. countless 'N00bs,' as they call them, have tried to lay waste to some of these so called systems. In this world no system is safe....and while you may be sitting here enjoying your system for all its glory they sit here and say that its crap because it has 10gigs less then his system and the graphics are slightly different.

How can this horrible war end? well truly the war never ends, but a battle may stop as soon as Sony,MS and Nintendo make a new system thus causing a new clash of titans. The victor can be determined by means of sale figures or number of greater games...yet an offical method has yet to be decided...

These 'hardcore gamers' buy games that get AAA ratings and anything lower is just pure garbage to them. These people dont have time to play there new games, they are to busy sitting here in GameSpot telling others that there system is better.

How can we stop this? Can we stop this? these questions are unknown, all I know is Im losing brain cells repoting on this. Yes people its that terrible...

This has been Bob Simon reporting to you on the scene, back to you Steve."

Entertainment is not a waste of time!

You'd see an incredible increase in video game sales around the world, for all the viewers who have just discovered the world of video game war craze.
