As it stands, it is definitely on pace to become their best selling home console ever. And that must mean something. This is how I break it down, however:

It is not fair/impossible to compare current generation gaming to previous generation gaming. Thee impact and "freshness" of the era of gaming plays a huge role in how one feels about greatest console. I see a lot of SNES answers as though Genesis did not exist. It rivaled SNES in every possible way with a controller that had half the buttons (standard). I never include hand held consoles in thee equation as they are plays differently and thee expectations are drasitcally different.

In terms of game selection, the SNES/Genesis era of gaming is unmatched for home consoles.

In terms of game quality ratio, the Neo Geo AES is without a doubt the console with the greatest amount of quality titles to shit titles. Even greater than the Nintendo 64. Go ahead, try to name ten crappy games for the system without looking it up.

In terms of innovation, I believe the Nintendo 64 is the console that took the biggest leap in innovation from one generation to the next. Both from a technology and game play standpoint.

As far as most nostalgia, SNES is the console that brings back the most memories. Playing Kirby's Superstar, Ogre Battle, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Legend of Zelda, Star Fox (what a big freaking deal that game was back then), Donkey Kong Country, and so many others makes it the most nostalgic system ever.

As far as mainstream appeal, NES is the system that broke open all the doors.

But everyone will have their own opinion. I missed out on thee Atari generation as I was born just two full years before NES was released. And looking at it, if I were to have been alive for that generation of gaming, my opinions would be drastically different.

Thank you for reading this.
