the most pointless topic to talk about to another gamer. most of it consists of Nintendo fanboys vs. Sony fanboys arguing over whether the PSP or the DS are better, or any console for that matter.
Nintendo Fanboy: DS = teh roxx
Sony Fanboy: PSP > DS
Nintendo Fanboy: THE HELL U SAY BITCH!!?

A dick-measuring contest usually between Microsoft Fanboys and Sony Fanboys to try and justify buying one of the 300 dollar instead of the other 300 dollar console.
Microsoft Fanboy: The Xbox Series X is going to win the console war because it's more powerful
Sony Fanboy: The PlayStation 5 is going to win the console war because it has better games
Nintendo Fanboys: The Nintendo Switch is going to win because you can take a shit while playing smash bros.

The orginial console war between Nintendo's SuperNES (Super Famicom) and Sega's Genesis (MegaDrive), circa the early '90s. Most likely what old school gamers think of when the term "console war" is thrown about.

Can also be used in reference to any competitive gaming systems. (Gameboy vs. GameGear; Playstation vs. Saturn vs. N64; Dreamcast vs. PS2 vs. Xbox vs. Gamecube; PS3 vs. X-Box 360 vs. Wii)
The console war ended with neither side victorious.

Gamer 1: I think the Genesis is better since it has the original Phantasy Star series, whereas the SuperNES had the Final Fantasy series
Gamer 2: I think the exact opposite!

Gamer 1: The SuperNES is best because it's GRAY!
Gamer 2: No way, the Genesis is better because it's BLACK!

Not so long ago...in two countries not so far away...
CONSOLE WARS!!!!!
In the 80s, two companies battled and battled releasing console after console. The two companies were SEGA and Nintendo. SEGA eventually released the Saturn, which left Nintendo the champ. However, in the mid 90s, Sony came up with the PlayStation console and SEGA fell to the power of the two companies. And in 2001, Microsoft released the XBox, Nintendo released the GameCube, and Sony the PlayStation 2. These three consoles are currently fighting with many advantages. Nintendo with its neverending series like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, and Kirby. Microsoft with its World domination, violence, and graphics. And Sony with amazing RPGs like Final Fantasty.
Microsoft has just released the XBox 360, Sony will soon release the PlayStation 3, and Nintendo will come in last place with the Wii. The Console Wars rage on!!!
Who will win the Console Wars? I sure hope Nintendo doesn't fail...

The "Console War" is a period of intense marketing cometition between Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and each companys respective fanbase. Despite most anti-fanboy speculation, the "console war" is a wonderful thing, in the sense that it brings out the best in every company. Long live Nintendo, long live the "Console War".
NintenDrone: Hey guys I was just playing Mario Galaxy, want to Co-Star?
PSTool: That is so "kiddy".
XBot: Like LittleBigPlanet is any better, I wouldnt be caught dead playing either.
PSTool: At least we have Mature-Rated games unlike that "kiddy" BS Wii.
XBot: I agree.
NintenDrone: There is a difference between "kiddy" and Family-Freindly retard. Oh and have you ever heard of a little game called No More Heroes.

These arguments are the reason games like Super Mario Galaxy, MGS4, and Halo 3 exist.

I salute you "Console War".
