Best/Fav Console?

The N64 did do alot for gaming, it was huge for its time.

I was a huge Dreamcast fan, but I would say the PS3 is my fav.

Although the PS2 is still the king of gaming IMO.

To me both the favorite and best has to be the Sega Dreamcast. The system to me is the last great innovative gaming console (I consider the Wii as not a "true" gaming console but more of a peripheral like dance dance revolution since people buy it for the motion detection gaming not the games and no I'm not disrespecting the Wii). First of all the VMU is something that no other console has used or even thought of and the Dreamcast introduced online play to the console world. The Dreamcast was all about the games which I fault the PS3 and 360 for leaving behind (its about an all around system).

The games on the Dreamcast were innovative and fun such as Jet Set/Grind Radio, Shenmue, Power Stone, etc. The Dreamcast wasn't without faults (no reset button) but to me its the greatest gaming console of all time.

I never had a dreamcast so I have no opinion, I will say I loved my saturn which had similar software problems.

With certain PS3s you can play ps2 games though. :wink2:

And I never said the 64 wasn't huge for it's time I just don't think it is the best system (bad controllers, cartridges, no online, etc).

The first playstation and the gameboy.....

Used to love Dreamcast because I got it for free and had awesome games. My favorite overall is probably ps2 because I don't own a ps3 or XBOX. Although I've played XBOX and don't like it to much for the sole reason of their controllers being so big.

I'm guessing you only played with "L" controllers?

And? What's that have to do with anything?

I mean in the history of gaming the most successful system is the PS2, the "King".

As for the N64, that was slightly before the online movement and bad controllers??? Are you kidding? They had the first mainstream analog stick.

I'm saying that about the PS3 because it trumps anything the ps2 could do, that's all. I know it has sold the most ever.

And yes it had the analog stick, but I thought the set up was bad and clunky.

Probably the PS2

Right now its the 360. So many great titles.

I fully believe the Atari 2600 is the best gaming system of all time. Laugh if you want, make jokes if you must, that was the best ****ing piece of hardware I ever owned.

Besides the fact it had approximately 942462311778 titles, that games were so simple you could teach your baby sister to play if you didnt have anyone else to go against.

I guess nowadays PS3 is my fav. But the AT2600 will always be #1 in my heart :cry:

My favorite will always be the next system

Ps1 followed close by the genesis..both came close to emulating the arcade games of the era and RE1 on PS1 was as intense as you could get for its day.

The Genesis was great. I used to make fun of my friends with the SNES because their version of 'Mortal Kombat' had no blood in it

PS1, PS2, SNES, N64, 360, and to a certain extent the Genesis, are all excellent machines.

N64 was great for multiple people (best system for local player ever in my opinion).

PS2 had one of the best libraries ever (online play too which I never used)

360 is just fun... but the hardware sucks in terms of reliability.

PS3 has probably been the best console I've ever had just because of how many things it can do. I use it for something every day. I can't make that claim with any of the other consoles I've owned. PS2 and N64 are tied for second. Great systems and the PS2has been incredibly durable as well.

Sega Genesis and Dreamcast get honorable mention. I thought about NES but that flashing screen crap that always happened when you tried to load a game was too much for me to seriously consider it.

I love the consoles that I've owned: Genesis, PS1, PS2, PS3, X-Box original and 360.

Most memorable/nostalgic console for me is still the NES, I highly doubt that will ever change either.

Super Nintendo was a more than solid system that allowed us to mostly play the same franchises we already loved from Nintendo with superior graphics. This is probably the first time I can remember the kind frenzy over graphics to the point that still continues on today.

The N64 was amazing when playing with 3 other buddies.

The PS was revolutionary with the whole CD storage, but I wasn't a fan of it's games beyond Resident Evil & Twisted Metal.

I was very happy with my Dreamcast, but equally as saddened by it's eventual demise. I bought mine at launch, so it hurt even worse.

PS2- Best game library ever?

Man that's a tough question, so hard to compare consoles from different eras.

I think I would go with the gameboy and the original X Box. Gameboy was my fist gaming experience and I loved it. Stayed around for a long time and had a very good game library. The original X Box I pretty much loved everything about. IMO it looked exactly like a gaming console should and I liked the controller (always hated the playstation stuff)

I just loved that thing.

Best console overall would probably be the PS3 though due to its Blue Ray ability to go along with its gaming and other features. Most versatile console ever made...... No if they would just change that chip so it can bistream Dolby True HD and DTS MA I would actually consider getting one. :sad:

I'd go with SNES simply because of the time I played it.

Although NES wouldn't be far behind.

Genesis was cool for a few years but then I got the SNES and that basically killed the Genesis for me.

The Panasonic 3DO though (which I still own) is still one of my personal favorites. From Star Control 2, Killing Time, Space Hulk, Wing Commander 3...man I have had fun on that system and still there are games IMHO that might have prettier graphics but I dont enjoy them as much as the 3DO games mentioned.

Sega Dreamcast. They finally get it right, and then they tank and become every other company's bitch.
