Well...

I guess i wont be the only person to disagree.

I think this is a pretty good list.  Each console named has done something good to change gaming.



Yeah, I know, wrong company, Daily Radar no longer exists

This still works

It's not even a bad list but any merit it might have possessed is drained out of it like the life force from a goat in a pit full of chupacabra by his unrestrained vitriolic bullshit. Way to go, guy. You had a decent idea for an unoriginal article, then you turned it around and made it something awful.



Jeese, what a huge back-handed compliment to the Wii. I would probably take off the 360 on the list and put the Genesis up there.

The Genesis laid the foundation that Sony and Microsoft followed in terms of consoles. The "buy our system because we have more mature games" strategy.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

witty. and funny.

I agree really stupid comments on sum consoles. horrible article.



I agree with the choices (maybe take 360 off, but it essentially helped shape this generation and I'm not 100% sure what I'd replace it with), I probably don't agree with the reasons, but I don't feel like reading it




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I think you have some good points.

The Xbox 360 is too flawed to be on this list, and not as "influential," as it is an assembly of different home console ideas bundled into one package with a certain fail-rate.

I would say the Odyssey, thought the first, is beyond suck and doesn't belong either.

Really Atari 2600 is perhaps the most influential in popularizing the home console.

A LOT OF PEOPLE owned Ataris.

I agree, it's funny that he doesn't think other consoles are 'contrived.'
