I don't think anyone is fighting.
But obviously I agree that it is all about what works for each person. Someone might say "Sports cars are the only way to go!" Maybe they really like zipping around at illegal speeds, like being able to go from zero to sixty in a matter of as few seconds as possible, and they like to feel really good about the way their car looks. Someone else might say, "Nah, pickups are the only way to go!" Maybe they need to be able to haul stuff around, so a pickup just makes sense to them.
For me both of those are incredibly impractical. A small economical car that gets the best millage as possible is preferable for me, besides saving money on commuting to work daily, I have close friends and acquaintances all over the place and happen to enjoy long road trips. It is hard for me to stay in one place long, and I found taking little trips as often as I can reasonably afford really helps me. If I had a pickup (yeah, they are great for hauling), or a sports car (can't argue with how sleek some sports cars look, nor how great it feels driving them), or a SUV (I love them, love the extra space and the ability to tackle so many different terrains with ease), I wouldn't be able to afford the gas to go on those types of trips.
Even with all that having been said, the pickup and sports car aficionados are still going to be unswayed and still feel their particular preference is "where it's at!", because what works for me isn't going to work for everyone.
A $1000 dollar PC would cost 1/3rd what I paid for my car, and would be extremely impractical for me. I'd have to buy a desk and a desk chair for it too, since I own neither of those. I don't need a computer for anything but word processing and web browsing and I need to be able to take it with me easily, so a laptop is all I need, and I play games on average probably less than two hours a week. It would be silly to keep a thousand dollar machine around for a hobby I spend very little time on. If that were the only option for playing games, I simply wouldn't have any interest in gaming. But since cheap and easy solutions like the 360 exist and let me easily play online with friends who live far away, I jumped at getting one.
I think it is nice we all have options to find things like cars, computers, and gaming devices that best fit our lifestyles.
