Nintendo
Overview
This wojak-style meme depicts the long-running 'console war' rivalry between major gaming platforms. Stick figures representing Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox shoot each other at point-blank range, both suffering fatal wounds with large blood splatters. Two other platforms, Nintendo hiding behind its logo at the top and Valve's PC platform Steam in the bottom right, look on with confused, concerned expressions. The joke implies that the two largest console rivals destroy each other, leaving Nintendo and Steam as the remaining winners of the conflict. The original post was titled 'Just why'.
