>Keeping your head in the past is a bit of a weak willed cope isn't it? People don't live in the 90s
That's even worse in terms of trying to make any sense of console wars. Yes we're in 2020, and despite collectors and inflated prices, these systems and games are cheaper than what they used to cost new in the 90s. There is no real excuse to still be console warring in 2020.
>How?
You like the N64, but you spend time doing bait console war threads. Doesn't add up.
>Don't engage in it then.
You see me console warring? I'm not defending the N64 and attacking whatever rival system, as I already said I owned all the 3 major 5th gen systems back then.
>and people are still learning about the libraries of these systems
Yeah and much to your dismay N64 is a rather popular console, even with people who don't have childhood nostalgia for it.

Problem is, nobody has a lot of money to spend, and even if they do, they still prefer to spend only on 1 system.
Also, a lot of people aren't real video game fans, they just treat systems as a status symbol.
I've seen people factor console design because "it looks good in my living room" as a reason to prefer one console over the other, for example.

It's actually my main board. I know that there's a few obnoxious NIntendo/N64 fans around, but I've seen way more Sony fanboys shitting N64/Saturn threads than the other way around.
At the end of the day the problem isn't the brand itself, it's the console war mentality.

Yeah, pic related.
Of course there are console warriors in Japan, but due to cultural differences, they're not as obnoxious as western ones.
Western people are just louder and less polite in general, even online. And when it comes to console warring, the difference is notorious.
Marketing-wise, I don't think Japan ever had something like "Genesis does what Nintendoes" or "Fly, Plaything, Fly".

Kamiya is the man, he made a lot of kids on /v/ angry back in 2012 when Bayo 2 and W101 were announced.
I remember this one autist who kept trying to force the "japanese phil fish" meme, then Quentin also got mad at him.
Kamiya's killcount is astronomic.

What id your personal reasons for console warring?
Bad experiences with kids who owned the rival system?
Mom never bought you that particular system as a kid?

You are the only one bringing up console war shitposting. Nobody is talking about winners or losers except you, OP.

He's not bringing any solution. Also come on, most of us SHOULD be avobe the age of 18 here, we all SHOULD have a job, we all SHOULD afford playing all the systems we want. There's no reason for console war, especially not old console war.
