Nah, it was Coleco/Atari - Coleco lost

Then Nintendo/Atari - Atari lost

Then Sega/Nintendo

Then Sega/Nintendo/Sony - Sega lost

Then Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft - Nintendo lost, but pivoted to play a different game.

Then you can throw things in there like 3DO and Jaguar Turbo FX, but they didn’t do so got to be considered contenders in the “war”

Sorry, I meant console wars of graphical fidelity from my memory. I don't remember it mattering as much when I was young, but I could be wrong still.

You must be younger than me. I grew up in the 90s and the Sega/Nintendo rivalry was intense.

I think it was the SNES/Genesis era when “who has the better graphics” started to matter.

At the time, I was actually of the opinion that the N64 was a step down from the SNES. Sure the graphics were 3D, but they looked like shit even then. Nintendo really fucked up by sticking with cartridges that generation.

Just a bit I imagine, I grew up in the 90's too but I was young in my graduating class
