Best All Time Gaming Platforms!

[chrispinto]

The XMB is very clean, lean and highly streamlined as compared to the cluttery, crammed up and a very AVERAGE interface of the 360 which also is not as productive for me. The PS3's xbo is so much smoother and less jittery when compared to the 360s interface. Put it simply: The PS3 feel likes driving a BMW, while the 360 feels like a modified ricer.

I'm no fanboy of any particular console brand. If i could be bothered to search over the last few years on neowin, i've posted about the GC the Panasonic Q (the magical gamecube with dvd drive) Xbox, 360, Wii, and PS3 and i just simply have to agree that as far as UI's go, the PS3 rules them all. Clean simplistic and skinnable to the hilt. Beauty defined.

Of course, given Sony's aims of an all encompassing media centre in a box, they had to make it like that. Who'd want a media centre that looked like a "My First Console" UI

So in support of that, my second fave console UI would have to be the Wii Menu

Damn....was going to say Atari as thats where I first got interested in gaming.

[rev. sK]

Hate all you want, but there is a lot of truth to it.

...and I answered PC/PC/Nes

[Imran Hussain]

Do whatever you want, but the PC will be a worthy gaming platform in every generation. PC gaming FTW!! :D

[DiEMOS]

360, PS2, SNES come on.

Could anyone help a gal out? I want to put music files on my new Nintendo DSi the simplest and most efficient. O and does reception get better? for going on the browser when your not surrounded by small woods and hills?

because the hills aren't alive with music unfortunatly

With the power of an upgraded forum system, I have expanded version 2.0 of the the All Time Gaming Platform poll to include a couple of new options and three different areas of choice!

I have made modifications to the poll options, and removed the Commodore 64 and Atari Jaguar as they were not popular options on the last poll. I was tempted to remove the Game Boy line from the poll considering it had less than ten votes on the previous poll, but it's a big item in the portable world.

Once again, vote away!

DC was "current" gen and the SNES was 4 gen and why is a hand held in there?

[Ayepecks]

I'm probably going to sound like a fanboy here, but I think the Xbox 360 is my new all-time favorite gaming console. I've got far more games for it than I have any other system, and it just works flawlessly for me. I was waiting on a experience akin to the PC on consoles, and this is it.

Still unsure if I'd put it ahead of the PC, but it's definitely my favorite console now. Just decided. :p

Be interesting to see a horizontal timeline of gaming platforms (say bars for a particular console's release to cease production date)

Re: Saturn being a piece of crap

I disagree.

Indeed. The Saturn hardware was a mess that didn't meet with the approval of the mass market, but the SOFTWARE on that system was excellent, and remains playable today.

Then again, I'm hurt that the PC Engine/TG16 and Neo Geo aren't listed :/

PC, PC, PC.

But if you want to talk console specifically, Next-Gen (aka current stuff) would be Xbox 360, Last-Gen would be Playstation 2 and Previous-Gens would be either the SNES or PS1.

[Death Proof]

PS3, PS2 , Super Nintendo

[Skulltrail]

360, PS2, SNES

EDIT: I remember doing this before, but I managed to vote again...

[pheonix_007]

Agreed with Death Proof

PS3, PS2, SNES

I dont think computer should be added in the poll either.

[master2k27]

This is an old thread :D

PS3, PS2 , PS1 not a fan boy just the only consuls i got or given :p

pc is good too.

[Faks]

well next-gen is going on PC First and later on Consoles ...

[Ridlas]

PC all the way!

[Kralik]

Voted PC/PC/PC

+1

[svnO.o]

PC (runner up is a tie between 360/PS3 - think the PS3 is behind the 360 slightly but will catch up soon)

PC (runner up PS2)

SNES (runner up PC)

I think the SNES beat the PC back in the days it was dominant/mainstream.

[Squirrelington]

360/PC/PS1

[c3ntury]

the Personal computer shouldn't be in the poll.

The PC has more games and potential as a gaming platform that will ever grace our gaming worlds or fantasies.

I voted, PC/PC/GBA.

[Emily_June]

Xbox 360, Xbox, and Sega Genesis (though I was tempted to choose Nintendo NES).

PC is great, and Nintendo Wii is great, but the others have my heart :wub:.

Also: what about Intellivision and Colecovision? Those were tops. The cat's pajamas, even.
