Gil is just butthurt that the PS2 wasn't #1 on IGN's list.

Not just the PS2, but the entire list was just insane. Seems like they just randomly picked consoles out of a hat.

But don't get me wrong the NES does deserve to be up there, IMO number 2 seems likethe perfect place for it.

Accurately explain your reasoning.

NES started a multitude of AAA game franchises and saved gaming from its downspiral.

PS2 had... a DVD player. And a multitude of AAA games.

By cancelling the games out, which do you think is more important, a DVD drive, or saving gaming from its eternal tailspin of doom?

 

That's why I believe it deserves number 2, sure it revived the video game industry and I thank it for that,

1) but the PS2 widen the user base by so much.

2) The way nintendo was pushing video games was not the direction I'd want it to be right now, they were clinging to the kids to much.

3) The PS2 brought in a more serious mature gamers, and like you said had an onslaught of new AAA games (seriously how many more Mario games can a person play till they go insane).

I never really cared for the DVD player, I maybe used it a dozen times.

Just because everyone thinks you have a pretty face doesn't mean you're allowed to spew that.

1) It widened it? IIRC, the PS1 widened it much more than the PS2. PS1 broke a hundred million and brought many more players in than the PS2.

2) What the fuck are you saying? That the NES, SNES, and N64 clung to kids? Honestly, it had a similar fanbase as the PS3 and 360. But considering that the PS360's userbase is mainly populated by kids and teenagers, Nintendo may have had children in their fanbase, but they certainly didn't cling to the.

3) This pretty much lowered my respect for you as a poster. It brought more mature games in? What the fuck? It had more casual games than all the previous Nintendo consoles. And even if I agreed with your statement, I could argue the claim that the PS1 had the same franchises as the PS2. The PS1 had a similar demograhic to the PS2 and it had many of the franchises.

So, the NES should be number one. Agree? It had AAA games which have created Mario (oh, and Mario is timeless, as long as his games are still absolutely amazing, I won't go insane), it introduced the standard controller with buttons and not a joystick, and it saved gaming.

The NES should be number one.
