(OPINION) This is a hard choice. For me I'd pick the Wii. I am not calling it my favorite console ever but it changed a lot in the industry. Who knows where motion controls would be today, or if they'd even exist. A close second would be the NES, since it saved the gaming industry in America. Sega Genesis would be my 3rd because it ignited console wars, and who knows if companies would've really been brave enough to face Nintendo if it weren't for them. N64 comes 4th because of the fact it had an analog stick and PS2 is 5th because of huge sales and really showing off great 3rd party.

Nintendo 3DS. There I said it.



The most revolutionary was either the Genesis because of the Sega Channel or the Dreamcast because Dreamcast.

PS1 or PS2 for me. If not for them I, and probably many others, would not be gaming today.

PS1 for me for the same reason



PS1, the first home console to reach +100m.



The n64, because it essentially ushered in all of the modern day gaming. Analog stick? 3ds worlds? First person shooters(a good one, goldeneye). The n64 ushered in modern gaming as we know it.



I'm gonna have to say the NES and SNES for me. They introduced gaming to me in a big way. So for me personally, these were game changers since they drew me into the whole gaming scene as a kid.




Where is the Atari 2600?
