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.
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.

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