My parents are trying to make me an XBox junkie.

Tell them to make you a pc gamer.
That way you'll be  better off.

Meeh.
A lot of games are better for the Xbox, with more servers and less hackers.
I find PC more fun though.

Become a Xbox junkie then, Nintendo is at the apex of sucky stuff.

If you don't like FPS games you probably are best to stick with Nintendo.

OH SHI-

Don't give in, stay with what you choose.

You keep what you enjoy.
I would never give up Nintendo for Sony or Microsoft. Their games have never failed to entertain me.

Their core franchises have always been fun. Sure, some of them have been lacking recently (mostly Mario and Metroid), but the others are still going strong. We're getting a new Zelda next month, with the new Wii U console we're getting Pikmin back, a new Super Smash Bros. for both Wii U and 3DS in the future, as well as many others for these two new consoles.

Their third-party may not be that great, but their first-party can't be beat (personally speaking).
I would rather miss out on "amazing graphics", shooters, and the online-capabilities than lose the console line that has given me my most precious of memories with video games.

Now, their recent consoles haven't been incredibly impressive. The 3DS is just a souped-up DS with an interesting feature that some can't use (regardless of that, DS games are fun. with power it has been given, some nice games are coming along in 2012), and the Wii/Wii U is primarily motion-control (yuck). But neither of them are a deal breaker for me.

If the situation is a lose-one gain-one, I'd stick with Nintendo.
If they just want you to try out the Xbox, give it a try.

So, I'm a big fan of Nintendo, although my father doesn't look too kindly on Nintendo. He's always telling me news about them doing stuff that risks them being kicked out of the competition. And recently, he's been trying to convert me from a Nintendo fan to an XBox 360 junkie, and my mother just got in the act!

I admit the XBox 360 does seem to have a lot of cool features than any of Nintendo's consoles, but I can't go with the XBox because I've stuck with Nintendo for so long, their characters have been very memorable to me. On the XBox, it's just random humans in war-gear that just kill everything on sight, and I can't imagine myself playing stuff like that.

Even though I told my parents that I absolutely hate FPS, and all the games I ever see for XBox is FPS, they just tell me that I'm wrong, and there are also some racing games, (Which I'm not entirely into.) Sci-Fi themed games and even platformers that relate to Mario, which I have NEVER seen in my life besides Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts 'n' Bolts. And even if I do want to, I would always get very paranoid because the XBox is in our living room, and I always feel very paranoid when I'm being watched playing games.

Another thing about the XBox 360, is that it's more of an adult console. All I ever see for it is 15 and 18 rated games. And pretty much every 15 and 18 rated game is an FPS. Another reason I don't want to do it is because I might get carried away and become a CoD fanatic and end up like all the chavs at my school, who constantly talk about CoD non-stop.

I really don't want to leave Nintendo, which I've been in love with since I was about 6-7, just for some other console that looks like it has better graphics, better online content, totally unfamiliar characters, etc. I know most of you will tell me to just give in just because you play XBox, but I want your honest opinion. After explaining everything I said in this post, should I tell my parents there's no way, or should I just give in straight away?

>cant play other games because fan of nintendo
>doenst know any story of any game as such game has no story and is random
stupid

[Leftus]

and my mother just got in the act!

They just want me to make sure I get a lot of excitement in my life than they think I have now.

Go for it.

[Altered]

All nintendo does is take 5 or so characters that they've always used, make up another stupid storyline and put the characters in, which is why we have +1,000,000 mario/zelda/link/metroid/etc games.

I hate them for it.

[hankyje]

For the Legend of Zelda, they change the story-line allot, it's always the same for Mario.

[SuperFlopp]

Asdf everyday at my school is a riot based on this stuff,
Nintendo is dah best!
XBOX IS WAY BETTER
forget THIS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR MEMES
I can watch Blu-Ray!

I am invincible because I say that everyday, I play all of them.

[.:FancyPants:.]

AO, which has never been given.
