There is no way anyone who knows anything about SNES/Genesis would even consider a different battle.

Nothing really compares to not only the local wars between fans of each, but to the advertising slander thrown between Nintendo and Sega. It was fantastic!

Hell back then, you didn't even own both consoles. You had one or the other and that was it.

...and I still don't give a fuck about MK's blood because my game ran better and had SMW and Zelda:ALTTP bitches!

But the sales gap between the SNES and the genesis was so huge! It was really one-sided.

The 360/PS3 rivalry, the sales are neck to neck almost, MS has stolen the 3rd party games and developers that Sony took for granted. 

And I can guarantee you 360/PS3 fans are by far the most fanatical gamers of any gen. 


Umm I take it you weren't alive then?

Genesis had a very large head start and it took the majority of the generation for SNES to pass it. Then there were many multiplayer games where it was a huge fight amongst fans which was better and  on top of that you have the many great commercials where Sega is attacking Nintendo directly. I'm sorry, but PS360 don't even come close.

PS360 fans own both consoles. That didn't even exist during snes/gen war. You had one or the other. The fight also wasn't just core gamers on internet forums. It was massive taunting and fights among everday kids and teens. SNES/Gen defined console wars. Hell, Gen added not one but two massive add-ons to fuel the flames of more power.
