| Opa-Opa said: I think you have some good points. The Xbox 360 is too flawed to be on this list, and not as "influential," as it is an assembly of different home console ideas bundled into one package with a certain fail-rate. I would say the Odyssey, thought the first, is beyond suck and doesn't belong either. Really Atari 2600 is perhaps the most influential in popularizing the home console. A LOT OF PEOPLE owned Ataris. |
You people obviously didn't read the article completely. The reason the XBox 360 is there is because of the XBox LIVE which basically revolutionized console online gaming. Yes, we know PC had it for a long, long time, but no game console had made it this simple to meet friends online, chat and start an online game together. Also, XBox Live has the most DLC, videos, movies, demos and games of any of the current gen consoles. So that's why the XBox 360 is there. The Atari 2600 didn't need to be on the list. Sure it got the masses playing, but it also help to lead the industry up to the crash. The NES definitely should be on the list. The rest of the list is fine I think.
Magnavox Odyssey (Started console gaming)
NES (Restarted online gaming after the crash.)
PS1 (Start the CD media storage for games.)
XBox 360 (Revolutionized game console online gaming)
Wii (Changed the way casual gamers played games)
