Console Wars/Quotes

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. Obviously there's a class of people who really love it and enjoy it and are getting into the games but I'm still waiting for that one game that makes me play it.

—Mike Capps on the Wii, proving even Developers themselves can get caught up.

the moment you say its not worthit you'll prolly get ps3 fanboys/girls comming in and complaining about it because their to stubborn to fork over like £120 for a Brand New xbox 360 console :3, though if they don't have a job and have to rely on parents because their under 16, its understandable of course ^_____^

I've never really understood the almost crusader-like fervor that consoles attract. Most people would say it's because your mum is only prepared to buy you one console and if it turns out you didn't pick the winner, the best thing to do is go into denial until the very fabric of reality spontaneously changes, because God knows that's more likely to happen than you admitting fault.

—Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, in discussion of console fanboys.

Gabe: You never fought in the Console Wars. You don't know what it was like in the lunchroom, listening to Nintendo guys talk about Mario, and Zelda, and Starfox. Man, I was plugging cartridges into other cartridges, and then I plugged those cartridges into the 32X. What did they have?
Tycho: Didn't they have a robot?

Gabe: You know what? Fuck off. Everybody's always bringing up that fucking robot.

This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the fuck out of there... Who wants to play the Wii version of Lego Star Wars? I'd rather eat glass.

—Shia LaBeouf, talking with Big Download

If you owned a PS1 instead of a Saturn then you deserved to miss one of the greatest games of all time.

"Foolish Famicom User! How dare you mock me! You can't even shoot Thexder's laser. Your Vic Core is small too. And what the heck is that 'Family Basic'? It's just ridiculous!"
