Forums - Gaming Discussion - Best Console of Each Generation

 

Starting from the 6th gen, who was the best?

Nintendo! It's the Wii U, not the Wii Wii U! 116 41.58%
 
Sony! GayStation 4 my ass! 145 51.97%
 
Microsoft! Xbox One displays 1080p, too! 16 5.73%
 
Total:277

This is easier than the other thread.

2nd Gen: Philips G7000 (Magnavox Odyssey2) (Played Atari 2600 and G7000)
3rd Gen: Nintendo NES (Only played NES)
4th Gen: Nintendo SNES (Played SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis)
5th Gen: Nintendo 64 (Played N64 and PS1, though PS1 as my #2 favorite of all time would beat anything else in the other gens)
6th Gen: SEGA Dreamcast (Played DC, GameCube and XBox; on average most fun on Dreamcast)
7th Gen: Nintendo Wii (Close call with PS3, the only other I played (excluding 30 minutes of 360) and practically a tie, yet Wii has a couple more games I consider 'true classics')



Around the Network

3th NES
4th SNES
5th N64 Had 3 of my top five games of all time.
6th PS2 I was almost a 100% PC gamer this gen but ps2 had the thunder here.
7th DS is the best console of all time with the best library.
8th So far the 3ds (If it counts as 8th gen. Seems like more of an in-between console to me) It's to early to judge the other consoles but Wii U is the one that currently, and in the near future, has the games I'm interested in.

guess im one of the few who liked the wii the most

Don't get me wrong, the Wii had many awesome 1st party games ( Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3 to name a few), but it also had many 1st party disappointments and way too many shovelware games!

4th: SNES Loved the Megadrive... loved the SNES more.

6th: PS2 I was almost a 100% PC gamer this gen but ps2 had all the thunder here.
7th: DS The best console of all time with the best library.
8th.... So far the 3ds (If it counts as 8th gen. Seems like more of an in-between gen to me). It's too early to judge the home consoles but Wii U is the one that, as of this moment, has the games I'm interested in.
