Why the NES can't be considered to be the best videogame console ever.

Ill stand by my decision and say...
PS3 60gig b/c

By using the logic that other consoles' libraries can be considered, the argument can be made that the Wii is considerable since it's a Gamecube, a Wii and the Virtual Console all in one, and then ultimately the PC just rapes everything since it can emulate every console and handheld from the beginning of time all throughout the fifth generation. Some can emulate further than that too.

 

I knew someone would bring that up eventually

Although it is a really good point.

And does the PC count as a "console" or as a gaming "platform"... i get confused between the 2 sometimes.

I suppose it's a platform, but it's still best to let each console's original lineup speak for itself. Giving PS3 credit for the PSOne and PS2's lineup makes each of those two consoles essentially worthless. Also if that's supposed to be the best console ever, it's particularly sad that it only sold like what...maybe 8 million units?
