I dunno, when I was a kid in elementary school, when the Genesis/SNES wars raged on, what tended to happen more often was that it was a good excuse to go over to another friend's house; play the consoles they owned that you didn't, and use it as a bonding experience.
Yup... did this from the Atari right up to the PS1 days...
Those days are long over, sadly... Kids grow up much differently now. Unless you keep them away from video games entirely...
I think all the points have merit, outside of the first one.
The mother is the person who is limiting the child to one system. At which point, the child has done research to make an informed decision, which his mother has than ignored. That's the kind of shit that would really upset a kid, especially (in relation to later points) if the decision has been made in concert with his friends at school. Little Jimmy's stuck with the XBO, which he didn't want, while his friends are up till three every night slinging shit while playing Killzone, and he can't join in because his mom is an idiot.
Console wars, or 'fanboyism', is about irrational loyalty, the exact opposite of the thing he mocked when talking about Digital Foundry.

But SSB is a good idea, that's why it exists...unless you mean a clone...

Man what an asshole that game store employee was. Why would you recommend the Bone to be the best for poor Gerp kids 
. Kids love Knack yo.

But those weren't online.
Now you're supposed to transition into the next generation along with your friend's list.

Little Jimmy is an ungrateful snot if his moms didn't buy him the right console to play his M-Rated exclusive during the launch window when it would grant him the highest status amongst his peers. I'm going to go out on a limb and say most of the 'research' Little Jimmy did was poll his friends and picked the one that would make him popular at school, not which one scored highest at Digital Foundry or Metacritic. The mom doesn't have a fighting chance when the kids pick an arbitrary side no matter what their family budget for games is.
Little Jimmy did check Digital Foundry, Bosman said so.
Also, I disagree she doesn't have a chance, I think if a kid says "Mom, I want the PlayStation 4 for Christmas", it's pretty easy to achieve that goal. In fact, I'd say it's harder to fuck it up.

GT player cut off 30 seconds early the first time, I almost missed the end of Gibbee's tragic tale.

This is by far the best episode yet and RIGHT ON THE SPOT considering all the bile & hate spewing on GAF (and many other gaming places) in regards to XB1 vs. PS4.
Holy shit, a great perspective from Kyle.
Let's just all play games that we enjoy. Can't we all be friends?

I do too. You can see how much he wants to talk about Nintendo and how silly he thinks the restriction is to talk only about the "Console War". Hell, he says it straight up in this video.
I can't wait until all of these shenanigans are over and Bosman can finally have a Pokemon video or a 3D World video or a 2DS analysis or SOMETHING!

Really liked what he had to say this week.
Edit: So late.

LOL @ that friend phone call conversation. Another good episode this week.
Next-gen spaghetti.
This episode PERFECTLY encapsulates my disappointment in every new gen. I fear i'll never get new magic again when i get a new system. I don't want better graphics, I want things that challenge what I thought a video game was capable of doing. Nes > SNES, SNES > N64, they all brought new magic to video games. There was a trickle of that in the ps2/gamecube/xbox era, and the promise of that with the wii, but this new gen... nothing, not even the promise that something new and magical is going to happen. Nothing.
I feel bad for the younger generation, that they won't be able to be blown away by video games anymore. Maybe the oculus rift will change that, but it seems like we're not getting any next-gen spaghetti anymore

Oh man, we've all been there haven't we?
*single tear*
And a hearty fist-bump for the tales of StarFighter and how some fo the big games restrict those urges to just... play. Its part of the reason I'm such a fan of well crafted open worlds that just let you go wild.

What a great episode! Hilarious stuff here Kyle. This would be a great episode to show off to someone who hadn't seen this series before. Kyle definitely gets what being a gamer is all about, at least from my perspective.
A++ episode would watch again

Dang he scratched some nostalgia for me. My 'next gen' moment came way earlier because I'm old, but Super Mario World was just 'that game' that expanded my little mind on what video games could be.
"Oh hey the SNES has six buttons now"
haha big deal 2 was plenty for super mario
"But the new game uses them ALL"
yeah so what I can spin now when I jump big whoop
"here's a level where you can ride yoshi and where you have to use the spinjump to get through 300 meters of those yellow bricks. We encourage you to spinjump ONTO YOSHI when you do this"
HOLY CRAP
"and check out this level where you have the cape and you have enough room to spinjump fly the entire level without touching the ground once!"
OMG NEXT GEN
Ahh the memories. It definitely has been a while since I've felt like that.

Dont forget
"Now you have to climb this fence, now hit this section to flip to the other side to avoid the fire"
And that next gen Boo
It's been so long and so common that I fought that grenades use to be equippable weapons and not their own thing in shooters.
Granted, you could also carry more than two.
Hmm I guess more recently Wii Sports, over the course of the gen it was improved, but remember first time messing around with it and my tennis player and boxer would match what I was doing in the real world. So cool.

He's so right it hurts. Those "wow" moments, when you realize gaming is fundamentally changing at its core, going where you couldn't even believe it was possible to go, those are what's lacking in the baroque game industry of today, which lacks a soul and cares only about looks.
PS4 and Xbone are so far underwhelming in everything but power and graphics (yes, I've seen Titanfall -_-), they offer no new universes of possibilities, no innovation. Wii U at least tried, but so far it fell very short of its goal, just like motion gaming before. My hopes are in the Rift.
