I'm not martin luther king. I don't have a dream. I have a plan

Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.

without a PS1 there wouldn't be an xbox 360 or PS2

so should it be ranked higher than them?

according to your logic yes

Why wouldn't there have been a PS2 or 360?

Sure there would of been.  They just wouldn't of been made by Sony or Microsoft.

They would of had different names.  The Sega Dreamcast could of just as eaisly took on the role the PS2 took on had the PS2 not existed.

the market won't have grown that much

SEGA would still be there

Micrsoft entered BECAUSE PLAYSTATION was dominating

so why is PS1 below them?

Why wouldn't the market have grown that much?

What did the PS2 do that expanded the market?

Can you even name one thing?

I doubt it.  It didn't do anything except be the most popular system at the right time.

The market would of expanded just as much.  The 360 and PS2 didn't bring anything new to the table that wouldn't of been added on anyway.  They didn't disrupt the scene in any way and bring in something new.

No, but it DID expand it......can you deny that? (I myself never got it till a year before Ps3 came out)

If I have to name 1 thing I'll say, it made the sanbox genre with GTA.

@2nd bolded

Then why the hell is PS1 BEHIND xbox 360 & PS2........my problem is with IGN's basis of ranking this list......it seems very random

As you agree 360 & PS2 did not dirupt the market or expand it......you must also agree then that PS1 should be in front of both?

whats the basis of this?

The Wii has also changed the world......why is it below xbox 360?

If it weren't for the Atari 2600 The Wii would have never existed

Nah. PS2 and 360 have better games.



By the way, IGN does not seem to have any criteria on this (at least that they made public) -- so we don't have any idea how they were selected.

And little known fact, only the NES, SNES, N64, Wii, PS1, PS2, and Xbox 360 all have outsold the Atari 2600.

The SMS, Genesis, Saturn, DC, Xbox, GC, and PS3 -- as well as any other classic or neo-classic system (Jag, TG-16, O1, O2, Intv, CV, 5200, 7800, Neo-Geo and 3D0).

Well, let's put it this way, if somebody were to make a list of the "Top 25 Cars" would the Model T be on the list? No it wouldn't.

The list says "Top" consoles, not "influential" or "important".

according to your logic yes

Without a PS1 there would be a dreamcast and maybe an xbox

 

The 3DO would have possibly made a comeback as well



EXACTLY as Wii_Master said

IGN's basis for the list is to be frank, muddled, confuzzled & random

this has led to me being disappointed by it.

Atari 2600 is so high as it changed the world....fine

Then why is the fastest selling home console of all time Wii.....in 10th.

why is the console that has brought in more newcomers to gaming than even PS1, PS2, NES even in 10th
