S: Launch model PS3s offered everything the PS2 did, with the addition of bluray, so games didn't have to be on multiple discs. Up to a maximum of 7-player local games, thanks to Bluetooth. Re-chargeable controllers, HD games, a full media center, with music, photos, and video. Linux OS, though it was removed. It also defined story-based games so much so that it made me like the PS4 less because of all the missing features and massive amounts of re-releases. It's much more than just a game console and expanded on everything the OG Xbox introduced while giving us free online. There was even a rediculous amount of flash sales in the PS Store, and if you took advantage of it, every week you could have gotten multiple triple A games for just $4.99, back in 2012-2014.
A: First Nintendo console. Expectations were low. Exceeded. PS4 expectations were high, and I was extremely disappointed with the PS4 so much that it made me into a PC gamer. Never owned an Xbox, but it did introduce hard drives to consoles, and music/etc.
B: An okay console, but the dreamcast's D-pad was like a plastic saw grinding against your thumb. It also removed the Z and C buttons that were on the genesis and saturn.
C: Saturn was more capable than the PS1, with potential left on the table. Especially true for 2D games. Most developers didn't even figure out how to do transparency on the Saturn. These days, the 3D graphics on the PS1 and Saturn have aged so poorly, the only thing that looks good today are the 2D sprite games, which the Saturn does better. 360 is here because of RROD. I'd seen it happen on 7 different occasions. None of them were mine, though, I was content with the PS3.
Although I've never owned an SNES can't really say which is better between it and Genesis. I'd rather play Sonic 3 & Knuckles over anything the SNES has to offer. It's also the best way to play the game, considering Michael Jackson's crew isn't allowing the game to be re-released - not that an emulated version would be any good anyway, looking at the history.
D: Two 8-bit consoles that I've never owned.
F: Always-on DRM, Kinect required. I'll never forget.
Don't really have much play time on Nintendo consoles to be able to list them. The switch is literally the first Nintendo console I'd ever liked, so there's that. Wii U was close, but not quite there.
