Very cool list, I definetly agree about Obama and Guilani but not so much on Hilary. When I think the 360 I think of FPSs more than I think about experience (which the Xbox brand only has some of), and I don't think guns when I think of Hilary.

No one's seemed to have to mentioned the DS in here. Exactly who fills that role?

The closest person (living) that would be a DS is probably Gore - and he'd be a Gameboy Advance. Yes, he is cool but no one would take him seriously in a console race.

The only person I'd consider to be a DS would be JFK.

Thanks for the props on the list. I was watching the debate and reading vgchartz when I thought about doing this.

And you forgot John Edwards.

John Edwards would be an iPod nano. Yeah, he can do it all, can play games, but who would play games for hours on an iPod? Not I, said the cat.

Hilary has to be a PS3, afterall a Clinton won the "war" twice already. And yet is starting to falter this time.

Great topic and OP. I only disagree with your characterization of McCain as "forgotten," seeing as how he's the current favorite to win the Republican nomination (as of Sunday, 1/6/08):

Who would be what?

I would say Hillary would be a 360 - she's got experience on her side (Xbox), and she has some good quotes (It's good to play together), but there's some serious love-hate toward her.

Barack would be the Wii - he's a new, fresh face on the scene - and a lot of young people love him. He's pulling ahead of the old guard (Clinton, Edwards) but folks say he isn't experienced enough and just for casual voters.

Huckabee would be a PC - he's bringing integrity back and is old reliable. Folks may not embrace him, and he could care less - he knows when the 360 RRODs, or the PS3 gets dusty, he's still tuned to vgchartz.com

Guilani would be the PS2 - he's got the brand name (9-11) and is used to being on top. However, he's living on street cred from being mayor of NYC.

Ron Paul would be the PSP - he's really getting picked on but still keeps trucking. He's proving that change is awesome - and younger folks are embracing him as well.

Fred Thompson would be an Atari Flashback system - he's been around the block, has some experience, but would be in the bargain bin faster than that Kim Kardashian porn boxset.

Mitt Romney would be a PS3 - he's got the pomp but isn't sure what he wants to be - a BR player or a game console.

John McCain would be a cell phone game - he's on the go - was popular once but soon got tossed into a desk and forgotten.

Mike Gravel would be a Turbo Grafx 16 - you remember how cool he was - you go into your basement, find it and pull it out and play him a few times, and then just toss him back forever since you can download VC games on your Wii!!!!

Lastly, Bill Richardson would be a Gamecube - he's the coolest video game system and cheapiest on the block, had some success but really, no one cares about.

I would love to see other's views on this ...


I have to disagree I think Huckabee would be a Virtual Boy a great idea but maybe not executed in the best fashion and looks/sounds a bit awkward. I also put him in there because he, like the virtual boy, I place in that could do well could do poorly position.(I put virtual boy there before it's release)
