The 16-bit war was epic; SNES and Megadrive went at it with no holds barred, each constantly striving for that killer app that would give them the edge. Ultimately I preferred Nintendo's machine, but the Megadrive was a worthy adversary and an excellent console in its own right.

The 7th gen I also liked, because not only was the fight between 360 and PS3 intense, but the underdog Nintendo coming back from the failure of the Gamecube to snatch the crown was a great rags-to-riches story.
