I think people are misreading Important as "best" as in personal opinions (not that rol's post would not be considered opinion) But as far as I'm concerned I'm in agreeance with the list. I mean SNES has arguabl the greatest games library of any console ever, but what did it do that the NES didn't? Push more colors?
I'd still say the NES was THE system that was imperative to our industry. It introduced so many things that became staples for over 2 decades. I agree with the DS placement as well. Wii..maybe a bit premature..though it is definitely on this list, and for me as of now it is 3. But as we see more and more companies making record rev and shrinking if any profits, it is becoming clear that Wii is the gens NES and when all is said and done may well deserve the number 1 spot.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
