Greatest Console Ever...

[FB-Gollum]

I figured with the last round of Apps for this generation of consoles coming, and the release of the new round in the coming year, it might be worth a glance backwards to see how they stack up. Please post your reasons for choosing as well (eg. best controller, particular game you loved etc) if you so choose. Also, if I forgot a console you think deserved to be mentioned please let me know...

I've left a few out that some might want to see because I only have 10 choices. Sorry, no Turbografx 16, Jaguar, Neo-Geo, DreamCast or ColecoVision.

Is this supposed to be a poll?

[FB-Gollum]

Uh...yeah.

[Kraft]

Im sorry... dreamcast isn't in the list? I think I've given that console more playtime than any other console I've owned.

[No Fear 23]

xbox of course

[Angell]

Its hard to top the fun of duck hunt on the NES, but for overall play value, I have gotten more out of my Xbox than anything else.

Probably because of the age of my friends, and their final realization to the world of video games is the only way to go.

But yea, I will always remember my originals like the NES, but xbox is gettn' the vote

Duck Hunt was fun until I figured out if you hold something really shiny directly in front of the gun that the ducks died no matter what. After that discovery the game lost its entertainment value as I could get up to level uber+1 without doing anything. Now super dodgeball... THAT game was awesome.

no dreamcast is a disappointment.

[AlBoogy]

Yeah, whats up with no DC? Easily my fave of all time.

[SPARTAN VI]

Ahh there it is. I don't know if you forgot to put the poll in or not, but now I can see it.

dreamcast was a finanical disappointment. Despite this fact DC happened to have some of the best looking and best playing games of it's time. When PS was cranking out low polygon knockoffs of its tekken series, DC was bringing near-perfect Soul Caliber to players at home.

You should have dropped the Intellivision option for the DreamCast.

[FB-Gollum]

Well, I think pioneers like Intellivision were more important than also rans like dreamcast. Dreamcast never made an impact. It had painfully few titles. It also suffered (from my perspective anyway) from the worst controller ever. However, I respect the love for the dreamcast, the titles it had were awesome.

[Ghost]

lol the DC woulda PWNED ALL!

[Kraft]

I agree. Did you know there is STILL an underground community to this day that makes and releases games for the DC? My DC collection is about 4 times that of my Xbox collection as well. While the DC might not have as many games as the Xbox, the Xbox doesn't have as many as the PS2. Want to measture the Xbox's success based on that?

[X-Factor]

SNES all the way!

BTW, why aren't Dreamcast and GameCube options??!!

[Peepers]

Xbox. For one simple reason: Xbox Live.

Yeah, and the fact that they put out the atrocities Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn prior to DC's release. Like it or not: Sega dug their own grave before Dreamcast even launched.

Unfortunately, that's true.
