Those debates...
... PS3/XBox, Windows/Linux, PC/Mac, iOS/Android, etc/etc, are even more depressing when thanks to being a techy sort of guy in a techy sort of industry you've quite commonly had to use both, for the same tasks, over an extended period of time. By which I mean months or years, not "I played with it in a shop having decided beforehand that I wasn't going to like it" which is the usual bleated excuse as to why Device X must suck and all the millions of people who bought it are wrong and should have had Device Y instead.

I remember talking to this with a guy who moderated a gaming community once, for him to point out something interesting - the people he most commonly had to pull up for going truly overboard on X-vs-Y console arguments didn't own one or the other... they owned neither. I suppose it makes sense as this group is going to be the most susceptible to believing untruths in either direction about each platform (the lies:truth ratio in a typical iOS vs. Android debate would make a political manifesto look honest).
