In your view, which is the most influential home console of all time?

I think it was the PS1. PS1 set video game consoles on the path saying that they could do more then just play video games. They would become home staples of media entertainment.

Now consoles come with built in internet, can be used for exercise, play movies as well as games, music, etc. We shouldn't even call them video game consoles, they should be called entertainment hubs.

PS1 also expanded the market far beyond what Nintendo or Sega ever had done. Video Games had to be taken seriously within the entertainment industry since the PS1 arrived, this was only reinforced after PS2.
