The Great Console War is Finally Over

[Pocket]

Someone out there has been building new Sinclair ZX something-or-others; it pops up in my retro-computer YouTube feed from time to time and I always ignore it so I don't know the details.

I'm sure Comcast/Sky doesn't care to much about the IP and licenses it out to just about anyone willing to throw a bit of cash their way.

In terms of “Console Wars”, I’d argue the last “meaningful” Console War was the 32-bit era in the mid-late 90s. Despite all its financial backing, SCE was effectively a “wild card” in the market and within its own corporate home.
But once Microsoft entered the fray in the following generation? It basically became corporate juggernauts slugging it out with libraries getting increasingly less varied. Now, they both sell glorified custom mini-PCs with AMD guts capable of playing mostly the same games (aside from the decreasing number of legitimate exclusives).
