The word 'console war' came about when a little competition broke into a petty argument caused by Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft fanboys all hurling insults at each others' consoles. The console war has caused a lot of people to fall out.
Fanboys treat the console war as if it's a real war.

An argument between three types of fanboy:
"Nintendo is for kids!"
"Yeah, well Sony copied Nintendo's Gameboy with it's PSP!"
"Yeah! Well Microsoft are the richest company ever!"

A pointless argument between fans of certain game consoles. Currently the battle between the XBOX 360, the Wii, and the PS3. The PSP and DS are also contenders in the console wars. This will never be resolved until Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony (and maybe Sega) all join together and make a console. But that console would probably suck.
PS3 fanboy: What's that ya' playin'?
360 fanboy: 360. Wanna play?
PS3 fanboy: Psh, no.
360 fanboy: Jeez, at least I didn't sell my house to buy the console.
Wii: Oh my god, you're both gay.We all know that the wii is the best console.
PS3 fanboy: -Toilet joke-
360 fanboy: Yeah, we all know that the graphics have to SUCK for the game to be good.
Wii fanboy: Yeah, well the 360 has nothing special about it, and the PS3's really expensive.
Neutral-Gamer: This again?
-Passes them rival consoles and baseball bats-
-Fanboys beat respective consoles with the bats, but stop arguing-
Neutral-Gamer: Can I get some sleep now?... Lousy Console War.

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!!?
Me: u guys fail. console wars suck
Sony Fanboy: PSP > DS
Nintendo Fanboy: THE HELL U SAY BITCH!!?
Me: u guys fail. console wars suck

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!

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".
