Forums - Gaming Discussion - Best Selling Console Does Not Equal Best Console.

Nice to know!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Wasn't the Wii the best selling console last generation.


Yep, and it was also the best console last generation. ;)



This thread is legendary. It doesn't do nothing in terms of knowledge or debate, but it's on its 3rd page simply because of the LOL and WTF factor hehe



Ummm ok............. Good to know I guess?



IMO the best selling console was the best console 3/4 gens. Opinions how do they work again?

You don't need to tell us and you don't need this thread to fell better about your purchase.. anyway PS4 is the best for me and wouldn't care if it was behind Ouya.

Jega has finally run out of things to say. The richness of my entertainment world has gone down a notch.



 

Yes it does

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

I disagree. A gen's best console is chosen by gamers with their wallets. Each purchase is a vote and each gamer can vote multiple times. Some gamers can easily say "This console was the best in that gen to me." and that's fine but in truth, console B is the best because more people agree with that. For example, "the xbox one is the best console this gen". That's a subjective truth much more so than "The PS4 is the best console this gen". That last bit is a universal truth because it's agreed upon by many people which is determined by sales..



And probably for the buyers of that console it's the best, unless they are crazy people that try to burn money buying the worst thing they can get.
