Xbox360 + PS3 = Double the fun? I think not. Ask Samus why.

We’ve all wondered what it would be like – to own more than one console. In fact, maybe some of you don’t even need to wonder – since you live it everyday. But ask me the same and I will tell you a completely different way of seeing it.

Now, this is not to say that, given the opportunity to own more than one console, if given for free, I would not agree to. However, if you were to try to convince me that buying and maintaining more than one console is something I would call practical – then I would call you a “fucking idiot.” And here is why.

I only own a 360. I don’t believe in having 2 consoles in a practicality/time standpoint.

We, as consumers want one thing from our consoles – entertainment. Regardless of game, as long as both have quality games (ahem PS3 has way less amount) then entertainment of any sort can be gained from any system. Having two consoles only means that you’re getting entertained by one while the other wastes away waiting to die a dusty death.

Mathematically, that is just a waste of time, money, and space.

You can argue “well this has that and this has this” all day, but in the end, picking your games is secondary to the ability to extract entertainment from just one from any of the other extremely amazing games a console has. And, as far as I can tell, nobody has maxed out the amount of potential entertainment hours on the 360 alone. (PS3 you might get bored after all of the 5 games on it. )

Who cares if I don’t get to play Kojima Gear Solstice? While you buy a PS3 and have fun with that, I’ll play another amazing game on my xbox. Both of us get entertained the same amount of hours except you had to buy another console. I don’t give a rats ass about how the story ends, because hey, its just a damn game. Let’s face it, you will need to make decisions on what games to MISS, otherwise, you should quit your job and play games for the rest of your life – and even that won’t suffice. Choose to miss out on some games exclusive to a console, and you’ll be thankful for it.

If, at some point, you fail to attain entertainment from just one console, then sir, you did not buy the right console for the job.

And my rambling is done. Excuse me while I boot up my SNES to play Super Metroid. Because I had to buy an SNES so I could go back and play this game because I missed it and I wanna know how it ends. Hey, look, its my xbox – maybe I should be playing games on that instead? NAH! We’ll have plenty of time to go back to the Xbox360 10 years later after we’ve finished all my backlog of games I missed back in the 90’s.

Touché. Booya. Farewell.

P.S.: Samus is a chick.
