I’m currently going through the junior year of my high school, that was 20 years ago exactly. It has been 22 years since my favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, had finally broken their Curse of the Bambino in 2004. The Harry Potter main book series ended 19 years ago while the film series ended 15 years ago.
And here we are where it has come full circle to where, we’re seeing Master Chief on a freaking Playstation 5 cover case.
The adult in me recognizes that the console wars were stupid, but the kid in me laments the culture they created. If I had to give a concrete reason why I think each console filled a niche and had a unique identity.
