In defense of IGN.

I could be wrong but it sounds like you are confusing "games you enjoy more" and "better console". A console is a piece of technology. When the technology is improved, so is the quality. They can simply do more. You may not enjoy playing them as much, but that doesn't make them inferior.

No.  Your confusing what a game console is.

A game console is something that plays games.

Therefore a console is only as good as the games that play it.

 

But as the technology improves, so do the games. Games are a lot more complex and interesting now than they ever were in the past because the hardware is capable of so much more.

There are very few games from the SNES era that still hold up today, and they certainly are nowhere near the level of current top games.

Don't let nostalgia blind your objectivity.

 

OT: I don't agree with IGN's list, or even in ranking systems in this way, but IGN are definitely one of the least offensive review sites. Their biggest problem is the number of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that slip through the net. At least they don't bitch about games being too difficult or completely ignore key features like 1up, who seem to be far more respected than they deserve.
