Forums - Gaming - What is your 2nd favorite console?

 

I won't use this for advertising (I can't state this enough)

XB1 20 25.32%
 
PS4 25 31.65%
 
Wii U 34 43.04%
 
Total:79

So I did a poll awhile back where I asked that everyone's favorite console was. Sony won with 50% of the vote, Nintendo got around 35%, and the Xbox got 15%. But now I want to ask what your 2nd favorite console was.

Now this is exclusive to home console's again (don't want to jumble everything up), and the choices are XB1, PS4, and Wii U. As always, I like discussion, and please... please.... no flame wars! Ok maybe some flam... no... no flame wars. 

 

 

 

 

My second favorite console is the PS4. While I would almost always go for nintendo, the Wii U did disappoint me. So that's that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

XBone.



Wii He She It They I U. It's an amazing secondary (or primary) console as it shares impressive amounts of quality exclusives.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Xbox One, Halo is basically the reason I keep choosing xbox as my main non nintendo/third party machine.



My favorite consoles are as follows.

1.) NES
2.) Sega Genesis
3.) SNES
4.) Dreamcast
5.) PS1
6.) PS2
7.) N64
8.) Atari 2600
9.) Gamecube
10.) Wii-U
12.) Xbox
13.) Xbox 360
14.) Sega Saturn
15.) Sega CD
16.) Wii

Hmm, my second fav.

Probably the PS1.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I enjoyed all 3 in some fashion, but if I had to rank them for me it would be:

1. PS4
2. XBO
3. Wii U

The majority of my 3rd party games are bought on PS4, and I've enjoyed most of their big exclusives thus far (Killzone MP, InFamous, The Order, DriveClub, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, and need to get LBP3), even if overall IMO they've been slow from a first party perspective. The indie games have been really good, and overall there's a huge diversity on PS4 if you're willing to experience it, and 2016 will bring me the exclusive line-up I've been looking for.

XBO has had a great line-up of exclusives with a few new IP's and the best of 360. Unfortunately I'm only a fan of select Xbox exclusives (Forza, Gears, Killer Instinct), and I don't really know if I can count some of those games as exclusive since they've come to PC, and I've bought them there for the better graphics and performance (Ryse & TitanFall). The people I play with most are on XBO, which helps it's ranking here (mainly because me and my PS4 real friends, all have completely different work schedules). And 2016 they seem to be investing in New IP more than ever.

I literally just sold my Wii U, and it's not because I didn't like it. On the contrary I enjoyed it, it's just that I can't justify having a console and only playing / buying around 3 games per year for it. The Wii U was played for exclusives, and while I really enjoyed Bayonetta 2, Splatoon, Mario Maker, and Mario Kart, it just wasn't enough. And worse of all I just didn't enjoy games like Smash, Mario 3D World, Super Mario Bros U, Nintendoland, etc... as much as I did in previous installments. The Zelda delay was the final straw, on top of no sign of a 3D Metroid, Pokemon Snap (should have been there), Pokemon Battle sim / Colosseum 2, and more.

He even put huge pictures of them in the OP.
He even put them in the poll.



lol whoops.

Well hey, sometimes I just instantly go to quick reply, not my fault for the broad thread title.

Anyways, my second fav console OF THIS GEN is the PS4.





"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

If I did not own the Wii U and Xbox One and based my reason on what they offered, the choice of 2nd favorite would be Xbox One.



I consider Steam to be my favorite "console", so the PS4 would take spot number 2.
