I think what people need to realize here is the age factor and that it is not a good or a bad thing. The guys making the list are in their 30's and thus were influenced by a certain generation of consoles.

It is unfair to criticize or nullify somebody's opinion on the matter because they were not born at the time and didn't have the same experience others did. The fact is, if the people of the late 80's or 90's make this list in 10 -15 years time, the Top 5 is likely to be different with a greater slant towards Sony and the SNES. This is because during their childhood a different console(s) was front and center, which means their influence and what they look back on with nostalgia in the coming years will also be different.
