Forums - Gaming - IGN Top 25 Consoles -- TOP 5......SHOCKING WINNER! (Atari 2600 > PS2)!!

@theReupublic

as everyone expected Ps2 or SNES to win

so for VgChartz is shocking as 90% of the people didn't expect it

so what

The problem am having with their list is NOTHING is making sense

you say the industry is built on Atari 2600

Now lets see, what other console was it that spread the number of consoles worldwide at the greatest rate back in the day.....PS1

why is that behind xbox 360? & Sega genesis?

their list has no single criteria....it seems like a confused mess

Actually, no, it was the NES.

still doesn't take the point away

PS1 increased the consoles sell through by a TON too & PS2 increased it even more

So why is PS1 not in the top 5?

@kowenicki

Again....SO WHAT

what is their basis for ranking the consoles, if its market growth, why isn;t Ps1 in the top 5

If its games, why isn't the PS2 or SNES at the top

PS1 back in the day? it came 17 years after the 2600.

The Atari 2600 came out 32 years ago... 32!! you have to understand what was around at that time.


How can he understand when he wasnt even born when the PS1 launched.

Because you didn't make the list.

@khuutra

my question is what is their basis of ranking this list.....whatever it is.....it seems very muddled up & confusing

No shocker that NES won. Actually I'd be shocked if it or the SNES didn't win haha. but I must say I'm a little surprised that PS2 is below the Atari 2600. Actually I'm more surprised it's not the Genesis or SNES over the PS2. I mean I would have assumed Ps2 would have been 2nd but if not I would never have thought they would put the Atari 2600 over it haha.

Oh well it wasn't a great list to begin with imo, but at least the top 5 were actually in the top 5 haha. Order is another thing of course.



@kowenicki

your still not answering my question

my problem with this "list" is the basis for the ranks......Playstation being a new brand for you has nothing to do with this

whatever their basis for the ranks are.....they are random

for them suddenly Market growth is VERY important, the next second games are very important

@kowenicki

lving through it is no biggie

am I shocked SNES is so high? no

would I have been shocked if SNES topped? no

did I live through SNES, hell no
