Aion on 07 September 2009

No 360 should be on that list. Ign's list is better and fair imo.

^ With the highest hardware failure this gen? If the Wii is not in there, the 360 will never be.

Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

this line right here shows that he is biased an uninformed

(talking about SNES) "When this console came out in North America I was born. It was like destiny that I became so involved in video games."

He is a newb and to young to judge the consoles properly.




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

What makes a gaming console the best is what it brought to video gaming that did not exist (or was overlooked by the vast majority) before. Otherwise it comes down to sales.

Atari brought in transferrable media (the cartridge), PS1 brought in multi-media (CD playback), Dreamcast brought in online, though arguably online was still in the marginal category until XB1 came out, so you could say XB1 = Dreamcast wrt bringing online to console gaming, Gameboy brought in mobile gaming, PS2 brought in motion control (Eyetoy).

Of course it was really PC/home computer that brought all these things to gaming, apart from motion control. So you could say that PS2 represents the only true gaming innovation brought in by consoles. In that respect PS2 does deserve #1 but not for the reasons stated in the OP.

And in respect of real innovation what has this gen brought to the table? Nothing really, it's brought a great deal of refinement and advancement to existing technology, but there's been nothing particularly innovative to arise from anyone. And don't say Natal, Natal still finds it's genesis in the eyetoy of the PS2.

Beloved games, improved graphics, 3-D game design etc etc are all either a matter of opinion or reflective of a natural advancement in technology and the creative freedom it progressively provides.

Yeah... if you count the Eyetoy as motion control then you have to count the Powerglove...

well, Nintendo never counts even if it was 3rd party, which is why Sony intented rumble, used analog sticks first, and all that other stuff. That is also why Online for the NES or SNES isn't counted.

However, Sega had the Activator, so yea, the Genesis brought motion control to home consoles.

But wasn't the Power Glove released before the Activator?

I doubt it matters. They both sucked.

^ Hey, that's a pretty good list, if we compare them by software that is. Also, welcome to VG Chartz!
