Its a dangerous game to play, I think. Personally, I wish people could just respect other people's opinions on what they prefer and not have to feel they will be persecuted, called a 'shill' or even banned for displaying it.
Gotta agree with my fellow Sean here.
I see way too many posts criticizing people's decisions on what they want to buy.
It gets to a weird point where I almost feel guilty for liking what I like? It definitely makes me not want to post in the gaming side anymore. I should be hyped up right now, not being told by random people what I should and shouldn't like.
Last week a guy here wrote a huge post in response to me saying I prefer the MS franchises, controller stick layout and want to keep my gamer tag and score. He basically told me I will get used to things if I just go to Sony. And it's really not that rare. Quite a few people in this thread have basically said "after this CBOAT news you'd have to be a fool to buy the Xbox!"
I couldn't imagine telling people what to play. You want to primarily play on the PS? Go for it. 3DS? Sure. iPads your main thing? Awesome.
Let the market dictate what the market wants. If the market things it's too expensive you better believe MS will fight like hell. Look how the 3DS turned around responding to the market.
