I would have to say PS1.

First console to ever hit 100 million sales.

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9
Final Fantasy Tactics
Gran Turismo 1 + 2
Crash Bandicoot Series (3 is my own personal fave platformer ever)
Suikoden 1 + 2
Driver
Tomb Raider Series
Resident Evil Series
Silent Hill Series
Syphon Filter
Need for Speed... and plenty more.

IMO, Playstation has only been beaten by Nintendo DS and Playstation 2

Only two of those titles were developed by Sony and only two were Sony IPs. The rest of those titles would have been Saturn games if Sony wasn't around.

But they were around...

And does it really matter how many were actually developed by Sony, or how many were Sony IPs? They still appeared on Playstation, and this is meant to be what you think is the better console, Snes or Playstation. I gave my reasons for why i think Playstation.

kind of. lets just say for the sake of argument that playstation is the better console. its better because of a bunch of games that they didnt create? they just put out a console and let everybody and their grandma develop for it.

i dunno, nintendo always seems to do more for the industry. theyre a very very respectable company.

I see what you are saying, but wasnt that Sony's plan with the Playstation? And it certainly worked for them.

I 100% agree with you about Ninty doing the most for the industry, but Sony with the Playstation brought gaming to the mainstream, and even more so with Playstation 2.

Yes, Sony brought gaming to the mainstream by introducing the FMV.  The FMV made games more of a theatrical experience where you could watch the game more than actually play it.  The casuals ate this up.

Also, the PS was popular with the beer drinking jocks because the games were easier and more violent.  Playing through a game like Super Mario 64 or Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time took way to much time and thinking.  Also, those characters were gay!!!  A plumber and an elf?  WTF?  These are only a couple of reasons why I say that the Sony Playstation is the greatest system of all time.
