Favorite Console War?

[Wman1996]

I think I have to go with Xbox 360 vs. PS3.
In terms of hardware units, it is easily the closest on a global scale. It's also the first close console war that I got to witness in my life as SNES had already soundly beaten MD by time I was born. I consider the 7th Generation the first modern gaming generation. Online play was hitting fever pitch, digital distribution became a big thing (except for Nintendo), video apps were added to consoles, achievement systems began and so on.
The 5th Generation was pretty interesting because N64 took a while to come out and was promising at first. But once it was clear that the games would continue to be expensive and the third-party support wasn't as frequent, the 1-2 Punch of Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy VII made it clear the N64 couldn't win. Not even Banjo-Kazooie, Ocarina of Time, or Mario Party could help it catch up. And Saturn screwed the pooch early with its rushed surprise NA launch and the fact that it never got a main Sonic game. Add in the fact that it was also $100 more than PS1.
"$299".
