It feels like you're asking two different questions in the OP.

By logic it would be Magnavox, it's what started this whole charade. Thank you Mr. Baer.

By personal preference it would be psx but i already chose Magnavox.

Well, what I wanted really were for the community to sit down and think about which console really is the greatest. Which one have had the most impact? Yes, Magnavox were the first console, but they (consoles) probably were bound to become popular sooner or later. In many many ways NES shaped the business more than Magnavox did... IMHO =)

Ah I do not disagree with you, because you are right. But like i said, the question in the op could have been clearer.

Maganavox - credit for the idea.

NES - without a doubt the biggest influence

PS - deciding to make it disc-based

(Atari for coming up with pong...)

And while i put the ps up there, i'm not even sure if that's such a big deal.

Progression in graphics is absolute bull at this point in time. So we're supposed to awe every week at the newest GPU and CPU the PC market throws at us? We're no apple fans are we?

You might want to start a debate on where these consoles would be ranked for importance and influence they had on the industry. But then again, who gets to decide the ranking ;P.

 

Yes, you really should have made my point MUCH clearer... I'll keep that in mind next time :P it feels kinda stupid doing a "Most Important Console" right now though since this thread is up and running. Next year, when the PS720 launches though ;)
