Jordan Thomas: Console wars are "silly"

2K Marin's Jordan Thomas has said that the console wars are "silly".

"There's a cognitive effect known as confirmation bias which leads people to latch onto conclusions that support their preferences and ignore data which doesn't," Thomas told Destructoid (thanks VG247).

"This leads to wild, unreasoning loyalty to a chosen platform, sports team, or brand of soda." There's only one Dirk Kuyt.

"From a development perspective, the console wars are a bit silly. Our target is consistency, and it's always kind of sad to see people throwing their energy into platform partisanship, because it seems to flood the critical channels and drown out other creative discourse."

I'm hoping this rumoured Google gaming platform gives the others a good kick up the arse.

I see it from most people on the Internet, when it comes to any subject. I feel like this guy is pretty smart for noticing what most don't.
