Since the 3DS is coming in March and the PSP2 is going to likely be announced on January 27, people have been discussing handhelds they’ve never even touched in great detail.

The 3DS is awesome because -

It’s the greatest handheld of all time because -

The PSP2 is going to have x y and z

That’s nice and all, a fine way to waste time. It’s fun to speculate on what’s coming next, but it can have actual unfortunate consequences. Aside from some people setting themselves up for disappointment.

What’s making me concerned are the amount of people who are already setting themselves up as soldiers in a fanboy war over devices we haven’t even touched/seen yet ourselves.

This happens with video games, a lot, and it is for lack of a better term, retarded.

What sense does it make to run around the internet posting everywhere you can that the PSP 2 sucks when you, or the people you are talking to have not seen it?

What sense does it make to call the 3DS garbage/the greatest system of all time when it hasn’t even been released yet?

It makes about this much sense.

Zarblats sucks ass. It doesn’t work, it costs too much money, and it’s just going to be replaced by Zarblats Gigante within a year of its release.

What does a Zarblats do? How much does is cost? Wait a minute, what the hell is a Zarblats?

No idea.

No idea.

Hell if I know.

Then how do you know so much about it?

I just do.

This is what reading this sounds like. I swear there is supposed to be some sort of filter in the brain that prevents this sort of stuff, because it doesn’t make any sense to me why people who like video games would want to shut themselves off from more video games.

For no reason.

This isn’t the Highlander. If you put a 3DS and a PSP2 next to each other they aren’t going to fight each other to the death to perpetuate a secret war amongst game systems that has gone on for centuries.

Bill Gates isn’t going to send you a letter telling you how disappointed he is in you if you buy a ps3 to go along with your Xbox 360.

You can buy both.

Just ask yourself this.

Do you like video games?
