Found this a fairly interesting article that I couldn't find posted anywhere else, but it is from a few days ago so lock if old!
Famitsu asked readers for the game they remember the most from each platform (one vote per platform) - so not necessarily best reviewed or best selling.
Plenty of classics on the older consoles but looking at the lists from the newer consoles, I think some of them have yet to hit their stride :P
