Sega Saturn was able to mimic the arcade games, both which PS1 and N64 lacked but it provided less polygons for 3D games. Sure it was games too, but it was also hardware. Now? Just nothing. The games are ass today. So many games just suck.

Dustin, you stated at the timestamp of 11:14 into your video here, that consoles aren't going to matter anymore, & that the sales have plateaued, yet I & many other people have been collecting & buying older video game consoles like i.e. the PS2 fat, the Game Boy Advance with a back lit screen (2), an Xbox Original Halo console, an n64, an Xbox 360 E, a Game Cube, two Nintendo Ds Lite hand helds, a DSi XL, a Nintendo Wii, & a PS4 Pro. Contrary to popular belief Dustin, people are going back, to play older games on older consoles, because a lot of modern games are about activism (lgb rainbow flags, and pop idols like Cardi B in Call of Duty MW: 3), modern day game companies, do not truly care about their customers, as they once had used to, so you are going to see a falling back into the past, with older games and game consoles being bought.

For example, I don't think the next Nintendo hardware will require an internet connection to play any games that don't need it for gameplay. If it did, that would suck.

Food for thought: I believe that the whole phenomenon of brand wars largely comes from the culture of brand loyalty in the USA. This becomes evident when we examine similar behaviors beyond the gaming industry. Take, for instance, discussions about phones, particularly Android and iOS. I rarely witness individuals in any country passionately debating their OS preference, yet people from the US often engage in heated discussions about one brand or the other. Similarly, I can rarely witness intense arguments about consoles between non-US individuals. I genuinely think that brand loyalty is more of a local cultural phenomenon, at least when we are talking about these extremely aggressive debates.

It is worth noting the idea behind console wars was very intentional. The discourse kept the known platforms popular while making the console market all but impenetrable to new entrants. A lot of it also drove console sales. Most people just buy a new console to play 3rd party games with their friends. Exclusives, especially single player, don't often convince people to buy one over the other. This is why Sony was so desperately against cross play and Xbox so for it. It's very similar to the whole iMessage mess with blue vs green text bubbles. Apple is intentionally using malicious psychology to get their users to shame and attack their friends and family into switching to IOS. *The console wars are just another byproduct of the post social media age where everything is polarizing and companies exploit that to turn consumers against exchange so they don't notice how anti consumer the companies in question are.*

Console wars are stupid, agree! But Destin, I would like to push back a little bit on what you said about both approaches (Sony's single-player narrative games and Microsoft's focus on services and Game Pass) being successful. They have been successful, but I do think that both could not be sustainable in the way they currently are. Sony's exclusives are getting way too expensive to produce, and I think the streaming services bubble that burst in the last few years could also happen to Game Pass. I hope I'm wrong about both cases, but it sure seems like both approaches will suffer in the years to come.

Problem with those kind of videos are always, that they are often only seen through American lenses. And yes, there was a time, where Xbox was dominating in the US in the 360 era. But they never render the whole picture how it was in the world.

Console wars are sort of like the network wars. Fun when not taken seriously, but the cheering for a company to die is weird.

Ppl just don't understand how that terrible xb one launch before Phil is what allowed Sony to move past them. Phil was always focused on the future. That's what I see

When someone doesn't like something, they say it sucks, so I'm not what your argument with the title is.

I have never understood why people have to back one plastic box or another. OhnoitsAlex always puts things in perspective and he’s right. People yelling at each other over PS or Xbox. Mf’r Sony and MS don’t even know you exist

As soon as Squadron42(Star Citizen) releases I'm moving on to PC gaming, no more need for console gaming, seeing that I'll have Game Pass on my PC and can certainly wait for PlayStation Movie Sim exclusives to launch within a year on PC. Hell, they don't even make MP games like Killzone and Resistance anymore so why bother with PS6. Nintendo is the outlier for staying on console. It is the TRUE exclusive game on console provider.

Microsoft makes the Surface PCs they aren't trying to win the "PC War". Microsoft is just offering their own way into their own ecosystem. For them selling consoles/physical products is just a bonus.

Just Built a Master Race PC, I have all the consoles, however now games are already coming out that only run at 30fps on next gen consoles, that sucks. I will always take frame rate over resolution, however PC can give you both with hi rez textures.

Yea I think the console wars suck too. Either side with Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft. All have awesome games😊 Though personally I prefer gamepass. Hey Destin think Microsoft will have a Dev Direct on Jan 25? Hope so.

I wonder if Xbox and PlayStation stopped trying to be the top end hardware if pc games would diverge. Side not though I think that amd and especially nvidia are starting to see that high end gpu race is netting less and less and are moving to other sectors.

If there was no such thing as exclusivity i wonder which would win 🤔

Why would Sony or Nintendo ever do that? I get why MSFT would do it - they're leaning on the PC market, and may become 3rd party. But why would the other companies ever do that?

Console wars suck if you engage with it even by viewing all the videos, reading social comments, etc….Play in the mud of course expect to be dirty. People who don’t engage with it, are not missing anything & enjoy the hobby.

@1:54 you said you were a sega kid.. I LITERALLY BEG YOU!!! Do a Poll of how many sega kids are die hard Xbox?!! I have been of the opinion for so many years that Sega dropped out of the hardware game and Microsoft picked them guys up!! I had master system, N64, Playstation, psp, Xbox, Xbox 360, Vita, Xbox one, switch and Xbox series x.. And I feel this is an average timeline for a lot of Xbox owners! Would love to know your take?! I'm not a playstation hater.. but I have my Nintendo/Microsoft allegiances!

No its not over, Sony fanboys actually just going at it, they turn into fanclub into a cult, you are with them or agianst them. I own most consoles all my life, Sega, Nintendo, Ps1, Ps2 , Xbox 360, Ps4 and now own Xbox Series X and Ps5 but hell Sonyfans still going om with Starfield holy hell leave xbox alone and enjoy your games rather than trolling on X or instagram.
