But in this age of backwards compatability and Virtual Consoles, just how accurate would such a list really be?

A 60GB PS3 is a PS3. A Wii is a Wii. The PS3 is not a PS2 or PS1, the Wii is not a GameCube, N64, SNES, etc.

I'm really not sure what knowing if someone claims they have a Gamecube or PS1 does for me as a user here. If I have a Wii, I basically also have a Gamecube; much like if I have a PS2 or PS1, I also have a PS1 built in. It becomes difficult with PS3s though, as some play all PS2 games, some play most PS2 games, and most play no PS2 games at all. So, some PS3 games may have a vast knowledge of PS2 games because they bought a bunch of PS2 games for retro gaming, where another may have no knowledge at all, and may never be able to play such games.

I'm not against the idea, I'm just not sure what function it would fulfil. I'm more than open to being persuaged I'm missing something, though.

It will enlarge your e-penis.... >_>

That, too.

There is difference between owning a Wii and thus having a GameCube. If you owned a GameCube, that says something about you as a gamer. I own a PS3, but I don't have any experience with a PS1 really, and so me "owning" a PS1 through the PS3 becomes a little irrelevant
