RE: Console Wars
Yes, I'd say that console wars are still a thing.. They're perhaps not so prevalent as they were in the 90's and early 00's, but exclusivity deals are still a thing (albeit they tend to be time limited these days) and cross-platform gaming online is still restricted to just a few games.
Not to mention that you still have fanboys or fangirls of Xbox and PlayStation, who declare a 'loyalty' to either side. Their arguments are largely based on opinion, though.

RE: Console Wars
I want to get a (pre-built) custom gaming PC (Where I can switch the parts out; bad eyesight) but that probably wont be for 2-3 years. I want to get a 4k monitor 144hz minimum and 1ms. The way things are that could very well be $7k
I was all in on Xbox, then I traded in my Xbox One and got a PS4. I really only play CoD, Overwatch, GTA (Campaign and multiplayer 3 times a year), and some single player games here and there.

RE: Console Wars
Xbox 360 vs PS3 definitely felt like more of a thing than Xbox One vs PS4, though.? or perhaps I'm just less involved these days!
I was a huge fan of the Xbox 360, though I did go through quite a few of them due to various issues.. The last straw came when I got a console ban for exploiting a marketplace glitch for a handful of free games, despite purchasing another console afterwards it didn't really get played - and instead I switched to PS3. This was just a few months before the PS4 was released, and so I decided to side with Sony again.

RE: Console Wars
I would say Microsoft and Sony are going at it pretty hard, Google has back out and Nintendo never takes part in it.

RE: Console Wars
Tis a shame the PS5 is still the most sought console right nowNo, I don't think so. Because everyone should know by now that Xbox is the best gaming console available.
RE: Console Wars
Xbox is doing a lot of right this console generation. They have the most powerful gaming console (again) and also great services and features such as game pass, xbox play anywhere. They also offer great game support across the generations, excellent cloud saves, quick resume (LOVE IT!) and so much more. 
Yeah, PlayStation has always had a huge market share globally while Microsoft has only really cared about the US and a select few markets in Europe. Which is a shame, but bigger doesn't always mean better.Tis a shame the PS5 is still the most sought console right now

RE: Console Wars
Each Console has its own advantages and disadvantages. And, I think it comes down to the gamer's preference at the end of the day. For me, I really like the Microsoft Consoles and Platforms, whether that's a PC or Xbox 360/X/One.

RE: Console Wars
I think it is still pretty much going on. I still see on occasion people hating on new consoles coming out, when suddenly hardware stop working for x percentage of the consoles sold. Pretty funny to watch most of the time. With me, it isn't much of a preference in consoles, but preference on the game I want to play, and if the system has the game. If it does, I get it.

It's those that have excess time at their disposal that have time to get into console war. It's what I did when I was still a kid.
