Dreamcast.

That system wowed me and my family. It had some games that I’d play a lot, and would still count among my favorites. We were, however, part of the reason for that system’s demise. We only had a handful of legally purchased games, yet stacks of pirated ones. Probably like 200 at the peak, which I guess must’ve been most of the library. I never even played more than a quarter of those either. I remember at first you’d need a boot disc to be inserted first for a pirated copy of a game to work after, but at some point that requirement was integrated into the illegal roms, which was quite a thing.

Gamecube. The Zelda games, the Metroid Prime Games, Resident Evil 4, Soulcalibur 2, Viewtiful Joe, Tales of Symphonia, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. And that's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Are we talking about design or something else?
If design then despite the fact that console is useless i'd say that Series X is the best console. It looks gorgeous, to bad MS made it practically a 650e paperweight.

I meant overall, but design is part of the whole so that is a factor.

Find it to be a close call between Dreamcast, PS4 and Gamecube.

Never owned a PS4, but I play most of the games from that system on PS5 and the library is awesome. Without the backlog of PS4 games the PS5 would be much more of a dessert. Even so, I cannot pick a system I choose to skip of systems I bought.

No system was mor bang for the buck than the Gamecube. 99$ for half its life and power above the Dreamcast and PS2. My favorite installments of multiple series, my favorite controller until the dualsense. I will forever love this thing.

The Dreamcast is without a doubt the best system that did not succeed. It was ahead of its time when released even if it soon was overshined by the PS2. The controller was a bit awkward but the games had a very high standard with few games being bad. It feels a bit wrong to place it at the top when the system failed to keep Sega in the console market. Gamecube, while profitable, was also a disappointment in the sales department, seeing itself beaten by the new kid in town the Xbox.

The PS4 was a success. But I can never see it as anything other than an in-between system. Waited for the pro but passed, nothing felt new about it, just safe. Would have bought one if 4K blu-ray had been supported. the PS5 is more of the same, but at least it was a large upgrade for someone gaming on the PS3.
I just cannot plae it above systems I like.

I still play both Gamecube and Dreamcast. But I'm sorry Sega, I just like the purple lunch box more.

Gamecube library is boring.... how does it have that many votes?
PS4 is like a 1000 times better.

Nostalgia is one hellva drug.

I've never owned any of these consoles so I'll just go with the GameCube cause I enjoyed it's exclusives.

It has quite a few first party gems. Wind Waker, Mario Part 4-7, Mario Kart, Sunshine, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, Pikmin, Animal Crossing etc.

Gamecube did underperform sales wise imo, compared to what it offered. It was a nice system and generally had superior versions of third party games to PS2, but it missed out on a lot of third party games also. Honestly the gamecube library is at least as good as the Wii library imo, despite the Wii selling many times better.

But for this poll it's hard to compete with the massive PS4 library, so I have to vote for that.

Between library, great hardware for the buck and Cerny digging PS out of the pretentious engineering hole that was CELL in PS3, I got to go with PS4.

Ps4.
