Who here experienced the amazing 4th gen console wars ?

I never experienced the 4th gen console wars, but my parents did. I remember my parents both talking about how heated the SNES/Genesis discussion could get at school at times. Apparently at some point in the mid 90s my dad had both consoles but never really elaborated on it so I don't know if you'd be viewed as a "traitor" for owning both consoles, or whatever. This gen doesn't seem to really have much of a console war and I think it's because many more people own two or all consoles so there's less of a side to take. I do remember the 7th(?) gen console wars, between the Wii, PS3, and X360, and I was in the "ew every non-nintendo game is Brown And Grey Mush Hell" camp even though for the majority of that time I didn't even own a current gen console. I owned a Gamecube during the majority of the 7th gen and in like 2010 or 2011 my parents bought a Wii and they used it more than I did because of the virtual console
