I'm still waiting to see an xbox360 or whatever new comes out on a nice high def TV set... all old consoles just look like crap to me, since i'm used to the higher resolutions of PC games...

gameplay is good on some console games, but having good graphics is still important, and 640x480 on a TV doesn't cut it...

seeing as you can't vote for more then one in 'Previous Generation(s)'

i chose the N64 but otherwise i would have picked the snes, n64 and dc.

for current generation i picked personal computer because of the veriety you can get

but i could have picked the ps2 and xbox aswell if i could because i like them both,

although i don't actually own a xbox (:()

and for the next generation i picked the revolution because i think that

is the only true 'next-gen' console with the different idea's they are

trying to pull off, but i also very greatly like the 360, but i'm not

too sure about the ps3 just yet.

and yes i know how its best all time, but i really like alot of the consoles listed there >.<

Rev/DS/N64 :D

I have a PS2 and it's great too, mainly because of DVD playback support out of the box and a very wide selection of games, but I picked DS almost on impulse because it's got so much of a fun factor and innovation. And the Nintendo Revolution looks great too :)

I voted Nintendo Revolution / Nintendo DS / Nintendo Entertainment System

No doubt, I was born and raised Nintendo.

Seriously, if anyone actually seriously votes for the Xbox as an all time best gaming platform, either it was your first and only gaming system or well ... hell I dunno lol. I feel sorry for you though.

Easily the Playstation 1. Such classics like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, Final Fantasy VII, Star Ocean: The 2nd Story, Parappa the Rapper, Twisted Metal 2, Tekken 3, Suikoden, FF Collection, Valkrie Profile, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc.

I cut out A LOT first of all :pinch: ...Second, I could go about naming a bunch of games from NES or N64 that simply revolutionized the gaming world. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong...They're ALL still in the new games, which makes you think, doesn't it :blink: ? Nintendo has been sticking to the SAME characters for over 20 years, and look, they are at the top of the gaming industry. I'm sorry if I am ranting, but for God's sake, Super Mario Bros. was the beginning! The birth of gaming :woot: ! I think all the credit of best gaming platform should go to an older system like NES or N64. Without them, none of the systems now wouldn't even be known to man.

and blah blah lol. Hell, its pretty close but hmmmm ... the playstations have definately given me TONS of great gaming classics but I think with the new classics like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, the incredible DQVIII and many other titles the PS2 wins the best overall gaming machine in my personal opinion. Then the PS1 and then the SNES.

Super Nintendo .. those were the days ... good damn do we need to get some nice 2D games back, Super Mario World, Zelda: A Link to the past, Chrono Trigger ... only if publishers weren't obessed with good graphics these days they'd realize a nice 2D would sell well

I can only predict that the PS3 will be better than the horrible XBOX, and very promising Revolution. As it will keep the same 3d party support I assume. I can't say anything else about that.

Currently, PS2 gets my vote. I hate most of the PC games out now, nothing going for it at all. PS2 is better than XBOX, and Gamecube put together, for one simple reason: I'm an RPG fanboy.

SNES wins the all time console award. It beats everything current, and probably in the future combined. Here's the reason: Best FF ever (6), Chrono Trigger, SD3, Romancing Saga III, ToP, Tactics Ogre, Bahamut Lagoon, FFIV, Super Metroid, Zelda III, Earthbound, and the list gets bigger and bigger.

I voted for Xbox 360 as the best next-generation platform (I believe the PS3 is very overhyped and I just can't get excited about the Revolution), the Xbox as the best current-generation platform, and the Nintendo 64 as the best previous-generation plaform (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask! :D).

    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
    • I hate Slack, but Teams is much worse - maybe they've already optimized it, but it was a huge slog the last time I've checked about half a year ago. I miss my Skype.
