I have to highlight that today, I just learned of a "dam hole" we had back in 2020 over at the Xbox One side of things... which caused the Xbox One to BOTTOM DOWN all the way to F grade. However, one thing spared the XONE the ignominous fate everyone else sentenced them to: Retroarch. It saved them and had the PSVita been Henkaku supported earlier, they could have been saved from pretty much killing Sony for me. Oh well.
S. As usual, the 360 confirms that, in the end, it is Lord and Sovereign of my console space and has an special place in my heart that can no longer be threatened, making it a legend even above PC during the sweet sweet Installer era.
A. Afterwards comes the OG Xbox which was really nice and too kept the bullshit at bay during an age where making bad games required effort that dissuaded locusts from destroying the library.
B. GameCube is... peculiar... I liked it because it was the nicest console I had for a while. Its Mario games and first party games alone were good enough to keep me distracted till the Xbox arrived at my doorstep. I included the PS2 because my brother had it and I played a lot of MP games with him... I also loved SOCOM and still miss that and Twisted Metal Black... that and Coolboarders made the console worthwhile.
C. Poor Xbox One... so far from the Xbox 360, so close to Covid Era Ratalaika and their otome double standard shite. It got saddled with a weight that could only be somewhat offset by Retroarch (and potentially DOSBox's and Dev Mode's "this is my console bitch!" callback, which means my other pet project of an eroge on an Xbox console is safe and alive and if I hurry I can make it past the finish line for the Xbox Series before any other VN does, thus planting my flag proudly and to display to everyone!)
The PS was as nice as the PS2, but I still remember the host of issues that came with needing a Memory Card, Memory Card corruption and needing to hack the fucker near the end of its life cycle because I could no longer find any games anywhere. Good, but let down by what should've been an advantage over the N64 and Dreamcast, both of which were, IMO, carried away solely by their heavy weight.
D. Don't ask how the Saturn made it here.
(Psst... the answer is Daytona.)
F. The SNES made it here because it was my only console for a long while? I mean, I was heavy into PCs at the time, so I guess this one gets last place for... being there when there were no competitors?
