The are pros and cons. Built in batteries mean that when the console becomes a legacy console you will have to buy battery replacement when the controller dies. I’m dealing with this issue on PS3 games now. Xbox you don’t have to worry about finding AA’s 10 years from now.

It's almost like Microsoft is running a business or something. How dare they maintain a revenue stream that enables them to financially support their network and invest in updates and improvements! I bet if there's money leftover, they pay their shareholders dividends. Those nefarious bastards!

Man it’s not like it’s was.

N64/ps1 era was my first tour in the console wars MGS vs Winback, Mario vs Lara Croft Goldeneye vs Everything. A bloody time in human history when a man would beat his fellow man with a multitap over an argument about rumble packs and feel no regrets.

That was my war, Nintendo’s first Vietnam.

Of course the true horror was the Nintendo Sega days of the 80s wart 90s thankfully before my time but it scarred many a gamer.

I dunno man console wars are fun. Ultimately it’s because as a kid you probably only have system, so you feel undying loyalty to it. As an adult is goes away because you just buy what you want.

I think Sony fans are a salty because they’ve spent decades building a rep for strong single player games then Microsoft just bought loads of existing successful studios.

It's just a friendly competition. Usually when something like this happens it's brought up so the need to stick up for your console is only like being territorial. As I'm a part of the playstation community like many others I will stick up for playstation if its ever brought up. Plus all my friends that have xboxs are always picking apart playstation and I hate it I have to stick up for playstation when XBOX players get wayyy to territorial.
