Which console war was more epic?

PS3/Wii/360 era was the most competitive. All 3 platforms had their own distinct feel and variety of unique games you couldn't play on the others
PS3 era was the best and most competitive as I had to get every platform and online the discussions were at a boiling point leading up into the PS4/XB1 launch. XB1/PS4 era was quite hot as well, almost like a sequel that's as good as the first movie. PS5/XSX gen was pretty interesting at the beginning but around I'd say 2023 it started to feel really lopsided and after the "just 4 games" podcast it was already over.
Sega vs Nintendo because both had very different, very distinct console exclusives and flagship games, solid install bases, and cross platform games had material differences to compare.
Every genre had solid entries for both
Platformers, sonic and Mario
Beat em ups streets of Rage and final fight, plus different turtles games
Sports games and fighting games were different enough to have a favorite
There were hardware differences...SNES with arguably better graphic processing and Sega with better sound...

Batsute
The Lion Choker
Sega had arguably better producers who made that thing sing but that sound chip was mid as fukk
Yeah , we all knew Xbox was already on life support when we entered the XSX gen , but then microsoft opened their war chest and started buying studios and it got interesting for a minute.
but when that didn't pan out , Xbox was just going through a slow death.
Can't argue that
This goes back to the discussion I started about the influence of Japanese developers with Sega, and the house music rise. SOR1-3 still have goat house soundtracks. That legacy carried over to psx
I’ll give it to Sega vs Nintendo because they were actually dissing each other lol. Xbox was fighting during the 360 era tho. Too bad they didn’t keep that energy afterwards.
Additionally, Sega was actually constantly all-out attacking Nintendo in their marketing and we never really saw that again. Playstation vs Xbox was cordial compared to the slugfest between Nintendo and Sega.
Nintendo took the high road for the most part, but Peter Main once said the Super Scope was "perfect for hedgehog hunting" at CES
Sega Genesis vs SNES
PS1 vs N64
You essentially knew what type of gamer someone was by which console they were rocking
I never fukked with Nintendo but I respected what they had going on, especially with that N64 catalog
