    No…in the old days it made each console feel different. There might be SOME overlap between the SNES and the Genesis, but for the most part they’re entirely different libraries.

    But if you’re trying to have console wars on any generation since the PS3, then it’s just stupid. It’s like 90% shared libraries, so the few exclusives don’t mean shit. There’s no personality to the consoles anymore.

    Except Nintendo. Nintendo does weird things on their own path.
