Every console generation....

        It seems to me that console gaming seems to be burdened with more things another another. However, there seems to be a chain of events that I seem to notice that loops with every console generation. Why is it that every generation, one console wins this "console war" when both consoles in the current gen could do just as good as each other?

        Back in the good old SNES and Genesis era. The console game wars would be nothing more but a mere gimmick. Sadly, Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to dumb down the blood and gore when it came to Mortal Kombat. That backfired when SEGA brought in the blood and gore, even though people had to implement a code. Nintendo's family friendly console shenanigans was not a wise enough move. When the N64 and PSX days were around, there was a surprise release of the Sega Saturn that the Sega Saturn couldn't afford. The Nintendo 64 lineup seem to have too much sunshine as the PSX would offer more than that...until the Dreamcast showed up. PlayStation 2 dominated it's generation which was a bummer because Xbox introduced Halo and continued Dead or Alive. Then, Sony decided to do something stupid and consequentially the PS3 had to catch up as Xbox 360 would take over it's generation. Now, PlayStation 4 is dominating the generation as Xbox seems to be damn well lacking. Now, Sony implemented a strict international policy as people would get less censored gaming if either people went to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PC. These stories for every generation would not only be complicating and a doozy to go through but adds more to the console war that wasn't even necessary to begin with.

       I understand competition is healthy in the industry. Seriously, every generation, a console manufacturer would cause a crap show and one console to rule to them all when consoles in a current generation should do just as well as each other. Sony needs to scratch that international content policy before god knows what is going happen that can gaslight the whole PC gaming "master race" shenanigans as anyone can hold it up not only against PlayStation but console gaming in general. And figure out things for games on PSX-PS3. Now on to Xbox, every Xbox games needs to be compatible especially on disc. Get more games while continuing to acknowledge that you have Windows as you can have Xbox and PC players playing with and among each other. Every generation should have consoles do just as good as each other. It's ridiculous that one console to rule them all because someone had to do something that causes a crap show.
