The console wars are so ridiculous.

Dude, today's console wars are playful skirmishes compared to the 16-bit Wars of the 90s. It was so brutal that the console makers themselves got in on it, with all sorts of hip edgy 90s-style attack ads, most of them from Sega. Sure, the console makers still sometimes make little jabs towards each other, but they also show a lot of respect sometimes as well. But in the 16-bit days this is what we got:

Bingo. Thought I was the only one that remembered how brutal that era was. The commercial showing Game Gear making fun of the GameBoy is the one that did it for me. Besides The Kevin Butler commercials, you hardly saw/see that between Microsoft and Sony. The 16-bit era is unmatched for console wars.

The war between companies was worse back then. Not the war between fanboys.
