I haven't voted yet. I'm torn between Atari 260, NES, and PSX.

Atari 2600 was the system that proved that a significant market existed for video games in the home.

NES was the system that made gaming ubiquitous.

PSX ushered in 3D graphics, and was the first significant console released by non-gaming focus company. Without the success of PSX, I doubt that we would have MS in the industry now. Without Sony and MS, the gaming world would be a really different place.

Nope Sega had that area covered. Sega would most likely be following the path MS/Sony are if they where still in the console market as thats the market Sega was already targeting.

If Sega had that area covered , they wouldn't have decided to continue with 2D for the Saturn and then  upon learning of the PS1's 3D capability and focus suddenly have to play catch up and add a second cpu, that added complexity aided the PS1 far more than the Saturn. all this  because they didn't have 3D covered.
