I wouldn't say the console wars are dead, but they generally are more friendly than they used to be. Just look at Microsoft and Nintendo being all for cross-play, and MS releasing Cuphead and Ori on the Switch.
I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. Genesis vs SNES was the biggest console war. Thanks to SEGAs marketing.
I expect a much closer race between the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. Just due to Microsoft having 3 times the amount of first party developers and the great value in Game Pass. Will they beat Sony worldwide? Not a high chance, but nothing is impossible.
