I am shocked a Nintendo system didn't win. I am also grumpy I didn't eliminate the NES.

Well, I'm glad the PS2 won, greatly deserved.

I think SNES games have aged way better than NES games so I would've preferred if SNES had been #3 or #2, but I guess the NES had more impact in the industry.

Switch and Dreamcast are too high

I'm not shocked. I feel it could have gone either way. I am surprised the NES made it so far while only having a few games that wouldn't be considered bad by today's standards.

There are a lot of Nintendo fans here, so many grew up on Nintendo it looked like they were spamming in favor of it. The PS1 was getting mass spammed down at one point too.



Yay ps2!

Kinda the same, there where alot of Nintendo favored alt/new accounts too.
I guess most of the nintendo fans just didnt want to bother voteing.... or playstation fanbase is just slightly bigger on the forum?

To be honest it is very hard to interpret a list such as this from the kind of voting system applied here. The further you go down the list the harder it gets. If the users could have sent in a list to weight their votes for all consoles and then add the points then sure that was possible.

But the voting system applied in this thread doesn't work that way because it leaves room for a strategic approach. You could downvote the weakest prey to quickly decimate the list or you could concentrate on the closest competitors to your favourite console.

I myself for example don't care about the Odyssey. It is by far the least interesting console. But not one vote did i waste for this system. I voted for NES, Dreamcast, even Switch. Not because i don't like these consoles, on the contrary. But they threatened the position of the Playstation 2 which in my opinion was the most qualified candidate for the first place.

So to me the list gets pretty worthless after around the fifth place at most because it loses its significance.

Agree 100% with this my favorite console is the N64 followed by the PS2 and the gamecube. The gamecube was getting really low so i upped the GC but I didnt vote for the N64 cause that one just fell from 11 to 0 real quick. Never voted for the PS2 cause it was on top the whole time. I voted the ps4 down not because I hate it but because I dont think it should be as high as I rated the consoles based on the amount of playtime I got for them which is why I rated the NES higher cause I arguably enjoyed more NES games then PS4 games. The PS3 is just a big piece of shit hardware imo and I dont understand why the 360 would be eliminated lower then the Xbox one, the Wii U or the dreamcast baffles me. 

Also it got ruined by both Nintendo fans and Playstation fans making an account just commenting on this thread. How little do you have going on in your life if you waste your time making new accounts to vote on a list like this.

You have to judge late 80s console by late 80s standarts not today's.



That's a nice win for the PlayStation 2. I think the SNES could've been slightly higher since its games sport something that the NES games didn't have, but the NES was incredibly influential and important on the industry. If it weren't for it, the modern console gaming landscape would've been different, very likely for the worst.

Still, the PS2 is absolutely the best console of all time. Not only the games released for it, but also the amount of consoles it sold. It's something that probably cannot be replicated.
