Dreamcast by miles. Many, many miles. The Gamecube was a flawed concept of a console with no discernible reason for why it existed other than to follow the PS2 into the next generation. The Dreamcast was innovative beyond belief and helped shape the online landscape of today's consoles, and still has a better online experience than the Wii somehow, let alone the 4 games that were online capable on the Cube.

Dreamcast was also built around arcade boards tech which made porting arcade games to the Dreamcast a very simple process. For those of us who grew up in the arcades, this was a huge win.


 I second this.


 I'll third this. The Dreamcast really brought "new" to the gaming world. For a site that has so many Wii fanatics praying at the temple of "innovation," I'm somewhat surprised people are so overwhelmingly in favor of the Cube. What's something new that Nintendo brought to the table last generation? 

 Don't get me wrong. I love my Gamecube because it had some great games. However, they were all really just refined and well-executed N64 updates that took years on end to actually be released. In just 2 years, Sega pumped out some of the best and most interesting games. DC takes the win.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
