The PS2.

That game library was magnificent. You could have 60 games, all excellent. If you were willing to go a notch down, to very good, you could have well over 300. It will have the best library on a console for a LONG time. There was Final Fantasy, Tekken, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Jak, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, Devil May Cry...

Wow. If you ask me, it deserved MORE than 120 million sales.

 

 PS2 sold 145 million, it says so in Wikipedia, and Sony announced so. Too bad Sony is not planing to make any more exclusives for PS2.

Wiiremote. The number of things I can do with in on my Wii and escpecially connecting it to the PC is just fabulous.

oh I guess I should choose a console.
PC then Wii.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

SNES- Had some of the greatest games I have ever played and introduced me to gaming for the first time.

IMO, the SNES was the perfect embodiment of what some call the "golden age".

PC for all the usual reasons + I really like to mod games or make my own multiplayer maps.

For consoles it would be either SNES or N64

The SNES is the best console ever created, and it was out when i had the most time to play games, and everything seemed so new those days, it was great.

SNES

I was in the 6th grade when it came out and I couldn't wait to get home when I was in middle school.

Had some of the best games in the 16-bit era(Donkey Kong Country,Super Mario World,Star Fox,F-Zero,Super Metroid,and Zelda just to name a few)plus the fact that I didn't have to put a cartridge on top of the other just to get the game to work --NES-- just made it perfect.



End of 2016 prediction

PS4:43M-46M

XBONE:28M-33M
