Gaming - Sega or Xbox? - View Post

Despite Sega bragging about doing what Nintendon't (which started by Mega Drive beating SNES to the market), they are indeed perhaps the closest to Nintendo stylistically. And a lot of Sega's cartoony franchises (Sonic, Super Monkey Ball, etc) have found a home on Nintendo either as timed exclusives or true exclusives. 

The closest to Nintendo in financial success? I feel like only PlayStation is on the table. Yes, PS3 lost them ungodly amounts of money. But PS4 and PS5 have made up for it. Xbox makes a lot of money, but a lot of gaming money at Microsoft is Microsoft Gaming across the board, not purely Xbox branding. 

In terms or rivalries as a whole to sum it up more

Nintendo vs. Sega - Similar

PlayStation vs. Xbox - Similar

In fact, far and away the two most prominent "console wars" in history are from those duos. Super Famicom/SNES vs. Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

And Xbox 360 vs. PS3. 

though in the end both got beaten by the Wii.

A cool side note: 360 beat the Wii that gen in the US. Probably Microsoft's only real sales accomplishment worth bragging about.
