Anyway, on topic, I voted Sony, because they made the PS2. Basically.

EDIT: I'll expand on that. The PS2 is my favourite console of all time, but also:

-I've owned and been happy with every Sony console

-No Sony console has ever broken on me.

-IN MY OPINION, their last two consoles have been better than those of Nintendo, who would be my second choice because of the SNES and N64. And Gameboy Advance. But all of those were released over 10 years ago.

I felt kind of bad including Atari in there. Sure, they're important, but they'll be nothing compared to the others.

Hey, six people have voted for them so far.

But why did you include Atari? Nintendo revived gaming, Atari nearly destroyed it.

Its a tough one. It's going to be either Sony or Nintendo. Microsoft is good, but their too unstable right now. I'm going to have to say Sony, though the PS3 isn't that great(in my opinion). The PS1 and PS2 are two of the greatest consoles of all time



WOW Sony and Nintendo are tied. I guess that's the way it should be.

Obviously I had to vote Nintendo.

EDIT to expand,

Obviously the NES and SNES were great consoles, but the real decision maker came during the N64 era. Nintendo supported 4-player natively since the N64, which was a must for my family with us 3 kids and friends coming over all the time. Also, the N64 used carts and had better 3D graphics than the PS1 (with exception of FMV which I think is generally a bad thing). The GC continued the 4-player support, and again was the superior hardware tech wise and remained cheaper than the PS2. While the PS1&2 stole most of the software, the N64 and GC were the better hardware in my eyes. The XBox was also decent hardware but it had a shortened life.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
