Philosophically speaking the beat selling console is not the best. It is the most popular. Popularity does not equal quality. There are countless examples of pop culture that I will not reiterate.

Hence concepts such as best console, most sold, top-10 etc are invalid. Popularity is subjective. There is no objectivity. Quality is objective but you ought to have an objective metric. 

So who is objective enough and what are the metrics? None....

Hence why dont you say instead of best...I enjoy the most. That is a valid argument. Noone can argue with YOUR sense of fun.

And in this context the only objective metric of fun is time spent on something. If you dont enjoy you dont play. If you enjoy you do.

So come on fanboys of all denominations. Look deep inside yourselves for the truth of gaming. The only truth is time. Which game have you spent the most time on? That is YOUR best game.

 

This is why we can only assess the success of a console by its sales. Philosophy, is irrelevant to the matter.

Everything else is just opinion. Where do you think this is? This is VGChartz, the purpose of this site is to track video game sales.
