Man it’s not like it’s was.

N64/ps1 era was my first tour in the console wars MGS vs Winback, Mario vs Lara Croft Goldeneye vs Everything. A bloody time in human history when a man would beat his fellow man with a multitap over an argument about rumble packs and feel no regrets.

That was my war, Nintendo’s first Vietnam.

Of course the true horror was the Nintendo Sega days of the 80s wart 90s thankfully before my time but it scarred many a gamer.

I dunno man console wars are fun. Ultimately it’s because as a kid you probably only have system, so you feel undying loyalty to it. As an adult is goes away because you just buy what you want.

I think Sony fans are a salty because they’ve spent decades building a rep for strong single player games then Microsoft just bought loads of existing successful studios.

Kinda, Sega was on its way out by then. The Dreamcast was fading out as the Xbox took it's place, and the GameCube was on the scene in between that.

So...half right?
