Final Fantasy XIII on 360

I guess I haven't had much time to type up my thoughts on the whole deal with Microsoft revealing the release of Final Fantasy XIII on the 360 on the same day as the PS3 version. Forgive me for my lack of timing. Next time, with such dishonor and shame laid upon me, I will strike my own neck with a knife, ending every embarrassing moment of my writing life.

The thing that strikes me as odd is not even related to the game itself, but the fanboys who are defending it. The 360 is the central piece of my gaming as we speak, and the Wii is its sidekick. While most of my games are played on the 360, sometimes the Wii likes to say "Hey, I'm decent too!" and gives me sickening addictions like Super Mario Galaxy and Dr. Mario Wii. When a game comes out for the PS3, I try to find some way of playing it since I cannot afford to own one (see: Kevin letting me borrow his for Metal Gear Solid 4.) I feel that this is a pretty unbiased way of playing video games as one can make it. Every system has its flaws and strengths and I recognize them.

So, back to my point, what drives me crazy is once a fanboy to a system loses a strength, all of the sudden, it's either absolute trash or the advantages between both systems are magnified to ridiculously high proportions.

Example A: All of the sudden, the hype from PS3 gamers went from "I love how this battle system looks" to "Oh well, of course with the way the series has been the past few games, it would go to an inferior system."

Example B: "I'd rather install the game anyways so I don't have to get up off of my couch to switch the disc twice!"

I cannot figure out for the life of me which one annoys me more. On one hand, does the spreading of one of the most legendary series of all time to another system really bother you that much? Don't you want people to experience what is so great about these games? On the other hand, are you really parading that difference to that extent? Why don't we talk about what the possible gameplay differences might be (which I hope are none) or how the graphics between either may fare?

Since when did it become such a problem to let everyone get a taste of something? Console wars will exist forever, but as someone who considers themselves a gamer, I must say I am embarrassed by some of the people who share a similar passion as I do.
