Where does my loyalty lie?
Many things have been going through my head. Once again, mostly about video games.
I've have been borrowing my friends PS3 for the past week, once again. He beat Metal Gear Solid 4, and because he doesn't really play Metal Gear Online, he brought it over for me to play.
I have to say, the PS3 has been growing on me. It doesn't kill me to say it, but it's awkward. One thing I have been questioning is, where does my loyalty lie in the consoles?
That is the question that kills me. Normally, when I pick a favorite anything, I like to stay loyal to it, and betraying it really doesn't feel right at all. I write for a Nintendo fan site, so it would seem my loyalty stays with Wii. I've always been the most loyal to Nintendo. I owned waaaay more GameCube titles then I did PS2 or Xbox, and yes that is including multi platform titles.
Sometimes I question though, is the Wii not right for me? Yes, I'm saying it. I have questioned my loyalty to Nintendo, as much as it is killing me. Now, I'm not saying that I'm thinking about giving up on Nintendo, but rather shifting more of my loyalty to a console that suits me more.
I would never drop my loyalty to Nintendo, but I have been doing some thinking to give more loyalty too the 360, a console that seems too suit me more. But once again, never will I give up on Nintendo.
Every console has it's flaws, and I love poking fun at them. I of course like to make jokes about the Wii hardware, but at the same time, it makes me mad when people say it's weaker then the PS2. I always enjoy poking fun at the 3FixMe. I don't poke much fun at the PS3 anymore, I just like making fun of Movie Gear Solid 4. Considering the game is only about 5 hours of gameplay and 8 hours of cut scenes.
I can tell that you're going to like this post Trist, and some people might be mad at Wii Live that I have been saying all this. I'm still going to write for Wii Live, and if no one has ever noticed, I have actually been writing for Live-360 for awhile. Well, I don't post there much, but I do have a posting account.
I guarantee once E3 comes, I will likely be an instant loyal Nintendo fan again. But for now, I'm debating everything.
I can also guarantee that I will end up regretting this post!

The only console from Nintendo that I am loyal 100% to is the gamecube, there was something about that cute little silver cube that I loved. Somehow the Wii doesnt deliver that same experience to me.
I had not planned to get the Wii at all. I somehow just woke up one day, went on EBay and ordered it to give it a shot. I will admit that it has given me quite a bit of fun and enjoyment, but with its current and lenghty period of a drought of games, it has lead me to discover that I am not really only a Nintendo fan but also one who likes all the consoles (PS3 more, though 360 I want to get).
With people able to get multiple systems, I dont think there has to be an issue of loyalty or which system is best anymore. Im quite sure that if people gave each system a chance, I guess as me and you both have in our experience of playing the other consoles, then it would seem that people would find favorite games on each console.
Whew that was quite a lengthy response, but yeah. Fantastic topic.
