Most innovative? Possibly. Best ever? Hard to argue. One person I know would say NES, but then again, that had more crappy, garbage, and pathetic games because Nintendo let anyone and everyone make games for them. And with no internet, you were bound to get ripped off. Another of my friends loves the dreamcast... but then again, that died fast. The Xbox introduced things that are done much better by the current 360... so does that make it better? No. I'd take the 360 in a heartbeat.
To me, newer is better. Consoles can be innovative all they want, but this is technology. I don't wish I had a bulky 5 lb. cell phone instead of my smartphone at all. Just like I don't wish to play PS1 games or Atari games instead of games on a 360 or PS3. I like the best graphics with the best stories and the best gameplay. People tend to romanticize the past... fact is, the stuff now is better for a reason. I get that this site leans about 80% towards the PS3, given posts mentioned in this topic. But really? You liked it when ONLY the Japanese dominated console gaming? Do you even realize how many sucky games there were because of that? Competition is a GOOD thing as it makes people up their games, creatively as well as pushing technology. Sure, you hate on CoD games made by the "west" but take off your blinders and see that a heck of a lot more than just CoD games have come from the west. Plus, when it was all Japanese gaming, it was considered a nerd thing. Now it's mainstream and cool.
Innovative is one thing, but the best is what we have now... and in 5 years, the best will be what we have then.
BOOM! FACE KICK!
