Mostly true, but Sega shot themselves in the foot by the add-ons to the Mega Drive/Genesis. Did it directly hurt the Mega Drive/Genesis? Probably not. But it cost them dearly with the Saturn and Dreamcast. The Sega CD and 32X were the beginning of the end for Sega as a hardware manufacturer. 

I'm curious. Did they kill your puppy or are you just immature?

Back in 2013, actors Grahame Edwards, Eryl Lloyd Parry, and Anthony Sergeant dramatically reconstructed a YouTube comment section argument over whether the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One would be better. It made me laugh. A lot. It captured the pretentious drama of calling people names and such over stuff like gaming consoles in all its amusing pettiness. (You can find that comment reconstruction here.) That's what I think of the hardcore console warriors out there. That's how such people strike me.

In all honesty though, at the same time, I often feel sorry for those types of people in as far as they still exist at this point. When I was a kid, most gamers only got one home console per console generation. For example, one who owned a Super NES (or Super Nintendo, as we called it back then) probably didn't also have a Sega Genesis (or a Sega, as it was more often simply called at the time) and vice versa. Today though, it seems like most gamers wind up getting more than one home console per generation. Like for example, most Switch owners also have a PlayStation 4 that they had bought earlier on. That cultural change has definitely reduced the intensity of people's console warring in general over time, in my observation. I think aggressive console warring of the type we're referring to here is something mostly reserved for the exceptions to that rule: the kids who still only get one console per generation or the adults who can only afford one. That can make blindly devoted brand loyalists out of people. There's a level on which I can sympathize with that. Doesn't make the results of that often excessive brand loyalty less funny to watch unfold though.

(And, for those who watched the video, I am grateful to Bob and his army for finally defeating Google+.)

As long as there are more than 1 gamer and 1 console in the world, the console war will keep going strong...

He was a victim of the last great console wars and his parents got killed by a flock of ps4's,they did not stand a chance.

:(

Maybe, but I know real full grown men at work that are very dedicated to one console and enjoy trashing the other. So people are still fighting over this stuff and it's not just kids anymore. Pretty similar situation with Apple vs Android.

tag. There's some fun stuff in this thread. And I only looked at the first 20 posts.

Yeah we're sort of back to that PS2-XB-GC generation where it's basically just Sony running away with everything in the console space, so there's really no reason to trash talk b/c Sony has just utterly steamrolled everything again. Only difference is you now have Nintendo's Switch which seems to be starting to carry the torch for the most rapidly selling console, though they almost occupy another space entirely being more of a handheld than a console and existing somewhat in their own generation. Meanwhile MS is retreating more to the PC gaming space it seems.

So you now have all 3 major companies sort of occupying their own niche or gaming turf and they don't quite seem to be at odds with eachother like before. Good for business I suppose but doesn't make for the most exciting "console war" face-offs or fans going at one another. Though I'd sort of prefer this to be honest haha. I grew out of that petty gaming fanboy stuff at least a decade ago. I couldn't care less which console or company you'd prefer. I don't even care if you have a deep-seated hatred for Nintendo (so long as you don't criticize their fans). To each their own!

Here's hoping for a probably unlikely return - I expect Sony to far and away beat MS, not to mention that Nintendo is far ahead as it is, anyway. I will say that the 7th generation was the generation for discussing games online. Peace by no means!

If and when streaming becomes a thing, it will not be Google.  Stadia is a joke in every way and will be dead on arrival with HEAVY changes to their model.  Anyone who would pay full price for the ability to stream a game that can be removed at anytime is buying into a fool's market.

Personally I would rather have all digital than the trash google is bringing out.  At least then my game is downloaded and can be played even after it gets removed from the store.
