I never really understood console wars, I loved them all. In the 70s we only had a Pong console. In the 80s I had an Odyessey2, Atari 2600, and a Coleco Adam. The 90s started with my NES and ended with a Jaguar and an N64. But through it all I played and still bought games for, all of them. In 1992 when they finally discontinued the 2600 (it had shared the shelves with SNES, Genesis, TG16 etc...) I still bought a soccer game for the old Atari despite having an NES and was still on the hunt for Colecovision and Odyessey2 games through video game specialized mail-order catalogs of the time.
Friends would fight over the Sega/Nintendo nonsense. I just made note of who had what and made sure I had a chance to play them all.
This has to be one of the best replies to the thread. In the end, I know I just want to play games that I enjoy and I don't care what console they are on.
In the past, I could only have one console at a time, now I can pretty much have all the ones I want. While Sony has the most games I want to play this generation, I also enjoy my Xbox and Switch as there are great games on both of them that I can only play on those system.
