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).

    • Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.
    • These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
