LOL such a fanboy, dumb post... Sony has had perheps the single bets game consoles ever, please moronic post, you sound butthurt and salty.

People have their own opinions, you know.

Look at his post history.....he is a sony hater. It is not the opinion of an objective poster, his post is moronic.

He's probably just a troll then. Just wait it out and he'll get perma-banned.

Gen 1 (because 3D gaming started with PS1, EA is right): Saturn
Gen 2: Xbox, this console doesn't have many memorable games, least liked system after the Wii
Gen 3: Wii, what a terrible console, most shovelware, annoying motion controls, no HD in an era when everyone was getting HDTV's.
Gen 4: looks to be Xbone, not many exclusives, looks like its loosing some of its high profile games to PC, no Japanese push like the 360 in its early years, deliberately weakened console because it was made with TV entertainment in mind. Spend 100s of millions on NFL contracts that could've been used to fund approximatly 10 great and varied AAA games.

Um, you do realise that the PS1 and the Saturn were 5th gen consoles?

Was peopol gamin befoe ps1???!

No they werent, people were just wearing their snes and taking baths with megadrives as soaps

Gen 6: Dreamcast... this was a tough one, all 4 of these consoles were amazing in their own right. Dreamcast had a very short life but had some of the best games but in the end I feel like Xbox and Gamecube were overall better consoles. RIP Sega (fuck the new Sega). Ps2 was in another league

Gen 7: Wii, I believe that 90% of the software on this system is garb and I'm not a fan of motion controls. Felt dated since day 1, not a fan.

Gen 8: Wii U, a lot better than the Wii I'll give them that but the online just isn't on par with PSN or XBL, features that have become a standard in this industry are still lacking combine that with no 3rd party support and I don't really see this console ending above the Xbone or PS4 with me. I wont write it off completely but it's going to be an uphill battle.

Come on people!

None of those consoles were the worst in their generation, not when there were these:

4th Gen: Philips CD-i

5th Gen: Apple Pippin

7th Gen: Mattel Hyperscan

You don't even have to play any them to know they're shit. Curiously the 3rd and 6th Gen don't have such a slew of consoles. Guess everyone was dead after the crash for the 3rd gen and no-one dared to enter the market when the PS2 had a near monopoly.

But okay, okay, I get what the thread is about. My 'least favorites' only counting the big consoles each gen are:

4th Gen: SEGA Mega Drive (Only played it and SNES)
6th Gen: Nintendo GameCube (Remember having more fun on average with the DreamCast and XBox; haven't played PS2)
7th Gen: PlayStation 3 (Don't count the 30 minutes I played 360)

In the 3rd Gen I only ever played the NES, while in the 5th Gen, both contenders N64 and PS (I haven't played the Saturn) are respectively my #1 and #2 favorite consoles of all time so I can't exactly mention them.

3rd: Atari 7800-just couldn't compete on the level with nintendo
4th: Turbografx 16-hurts me to say, it's an underrated machine, but its library pales in comparison to snes, genesis and neo geo
5th: 3DO-an abomination
6th: Dreamcast-again, hurts to say, it had a lot of unappreciated gems, but with its life cycle cut short its library isn't as complete as the competition
7th: Wii-was a fad I never got into

Too early to say anything about the current gen.
