Taking sides One side effect I’ve noticed, of so few new games being released at the moment, is that the rivalry between PlayStation and Xbox has kind of faded into the background. The Last Of Us Part 1 came out, was controversial, and yet I’ve not noticed Xbox fans really taking advantage of that, probably because they know their machine has nothing to coming out at all.
If you ask me though the rivalry between Xbox and PlayStation has always been a bit lukewarm and uninteresting. We all know the best console war was between the Mega Drive and the SNES, for all sorts of reasons: surprisingly different games given the tech, with different specialities; completely different marketing styles; and no clear winner, with one or the other being slightly ahead in each country.
It’s the perfect battle, plus back in those days almost nobody could afford both, so you were forced to take a side. I had a Mega Drive, so I’m bound to say that was better, but I did secretly covet SNES games like Super Metroid and the Donkey Kong Country games. Great memories of a bitterly fought war. Curious to know what side of the fence other readers stood on.Poindexter
