Best runner up system, and why

[curl-6]

So votes wise it's pretty much a three-way brawl between Megadrive, N64, and PS3, with almost zero votes elsewhere.

OG Xbox was also a worthy contender in my book and actually my favourite console of that generation thanks to exclusives like Halo 1/2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and (console exclusive anyway) Doom 3.
