How so? I'm being literal (though using "doom" in the meme context, of course).
When any of the big three go too long without any shitty console sales or financial reports we end up with a lot of salt threads. It hasn't been anywhere near as bad as Sony and MS fans back during the Wii/DS peak years, but it's certainly been quite unpleasant the last couple of months.
A recent example would be the WiiU vs X1's "battle for 2nd place". The X1's recent 2 weeks of victory have toned down the drama surrounding it considerably. If it continues to beat the WiiU for several more weeks the original effect will just reverse, but the peace and quiet is nice while it lasts.
It has to be said though, ignoring how utterly childish the console wars can be, they sure are interesting to watch. It's a particularly amusing example of the in/out social group structure we all live by :p
