Playstation 2!!!!
First system to offer horizontal or vertical stance, DVD playback, CD-Rom Playback and first and only system to sell over 135 million units!!!

Vertical stance? not exactly the greatest gift to gaming is it.

DVD playback - ok sure, I suppose the spread of consoles into non-gaming worlds is important, but DVD was just natural progression from the CD functionality that the PS1 had, so not exactly revolutionary.

CD-ROM - ROM I believe would include games, and there were CD peripherals for games consoles from before the PS1... if you meant music CD playback functionality then that would be the PS1 first.

135 million units being a particularly special number is it?.... what if all previous consoles had sold 134 million, not much of an achievement then is it.... personally I think sales success should be viewed by how much they manage to increase the market in the face of adversity.
The NES is the only console to manage to double any previous consoles sales (60 million from the Atari 2600s 30 million) The PS1 increased the market hugely (102 million, previous best being the NES at 60 million). The PS1 did have a better competition though, so is perhaps why it didn't manage to double like the NES did.

löl @ every1 who says Wii

I'm curious, could you elaborate on this?.................

 

 

Wii will be influental ( you know that whole motion thingie )

but it's technology ( and i don't just refer to pure processing and graphics power ) is just too bad or better said 'undeveloped' to be called  the most influental console EVER ( ever => strong word ). Waggle here and waggle there doesnt set new standards, at this point, without Wii motion + , the controls are a tacked on gimmick, rave on me as hard as you want, it's my opinion. Let's take the biggest games of the console :

Mario Kart: Best played with GC controller

Brawl : see Mario Kart

Zelda : shooting arrows is a nice thing, swinging swords just feels stupid, after 10 hours in the game i was thinking about getting the GC version which says EVERYTHING if you ask me. it's just tacked on, and even those who like it can't deny it adds very few to the game itself.

Mario galaxy : wouldn't have suffered much with GC controller

Metroid Prime : this game DID profit from the control scheme, but again it's not as the game stands out from its predecessors just through tht point

 

What im trying to say is : Motion control right now is nowhere as new and as accepted as it went with ps1 ( or take 64 if you want, or dreamcast, who cares ).

3 D worked in an instant, the console ( PS 1 ) didn't birth it but rose it to a new level within months, THAT is influence.

furthermore, im too young to judge, but it seems NES had the greates impact, so that's why I lol to everyone claiming the Wii has the GREATEST influence ever ( noone denies it HAS impact ).



How can 720p be considered HD when it looks like ugly snow grains on my 22'' screen?

 

 

oh which I forgot : If you come now and say the Wii deserves the spot because it brought new audiences : If you do that approahc your false again, because from taht point of view you HAVE to take the DS.

you can say DS, you can say Xbox, you can say PS1, NES, but every1 who says Wii is a fanboy or hasn't made up his mind thoroughly

NES...hands down



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

Systems owned: Atari 2600, NES(3), Top loader NES, Yobo NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Gamegear, Sega Nomad, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Wii, PS3 (slim 120 GB), Wii U

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

NES, this is coming from a Sega fan back then.



The Power Pad, U-Force, Zapper, R.O.B, Nes Advantage Joysticks, Nes Max, Miracle Piano teaching keyboard, Life Fitness Life Cycle exercise bike, Controllers with D-Pads, Castlevania, Contra, Bionic Commando, Metal Gear, Double Dragon, Power Gloves, 3D World Runner,

If you traced modern video gaming back to it's roots, you'd find........a bunch Atari, Magnovox, Pong, and Intellivision type machines. But the trunk of that tree would be the Nes. Nobody else even comes close.



Definately NES
