^ be a nice guy now darth.

Respect the elderly.



and since you own both consoles you are immune to the tag of fan and all knowing.



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.

We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

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

They don't like its library or what it stands for?

" IGN has forged a list of the Top 25 Videogame Consoles of All Time, where we have selected and ranked the most influential systems in the history of gaming"

_______

its not based on what "they (IGN)" like

Its based on influence & influencial titles

so why is Wii not in the top 5

it has the TOP SELLING GAME EVER!

& why is PS1 not there

Clearly influence is not their only criteria, regardless of whether or not they say it is.

There. How about that.

no that won't do at all

@Kas

I agree, but the Wii has done enough in terms of what they are saying is their criteria to atleast be above "some consoles" which are above it

Is there anyone that isnt a sony fan or isnt under 20 bitching about this list?

So let me get this straight, if somebody disagrees with the PS1/PS2 position because they like the consoles, they are whiny and "bitching" and their opinion is invalid.

However, if people don't have a problem with the list because they are not Sony fans, they are being fair and balanced?

God forbid people form an opinion about a console they like after having had played it.

edit: So what you are essentially saying, is that only people 20+ who prefer Nintendo or Microsoft can criticize the list?

exactly

@darth

but its fundamental... sony fans dont like it and the younger posters dont get it, its not a criticism...

The only thing I don't really agree is that they rated the 360 over the PS1, don't get me wrong, I love my 360 and I understand that the main point of the 360's place is due to the masses of online games and gamers it brought us, but the PS1 was the console that pretty much brought us 3D, i'd switch the PS1 with the PS2 in that list



IGN and the Playstation/SNES haters can blow me. ; P

Don't understand what exactly......I am against their way of ranking, not the ranks to be particular

& now I feel Wii & Ps1 should be in the top 5......very sony fanboylike right

YET AGAIN

stop generalizing.....

Remember though, popularity doesn't necessarily mean influencial
