You think I'M a fanboy? I'm not the one instantly defending the PS3 and damn near every turn. Any of the regulars here know you one of the largest PS3 fanboys since dingo.
If you don't know your a fanboy, then I think you should get some outside assistance with that. I love my PS3, 360, and woefully out of date PC. I guess I'm a fanboy of all 3 of them then?

The Genesis and Dreamcast in the top 5?
That's madness!
Though I never owned either I did play them, maybe they were better than I remember.
I liked the SNES more than the NES but for me they would have been the top 2, followed by the PS2 and then the Atari.

So we should all run out and buy NES' forsaking our current gen consoles entirely. What a pointless list. Beyond anything how did the Dreamcast get a decent rank. It wasn't a good console!
Thanks for the clarification. It was mostly meant in jest as I've never played the Commodore but was referring to Yahtzee's adoration of it. Also, my info was unreliable, because it was listed on WIkipedia's "game console" list.RAKtheUndead said:
Agreed, only replace Panzer Dragoon Saga and NiGHTS with Bug Too! (actual game name) and Sonic 3D Blast (That's right, and it was one of my favorite Saturn titles) in my case. I occasionally brought it out to see if it still worked (it does, but the audio is somewhat funky) and loved playing it again.Remleiz said:
Now see, that's funny. Clearly if you read the link in the OP you would know that the list is NOT (I capitalize because I think you might miss the point) about which console you should immediately go and buy rather it is about which console was most influential, the console that had the most beneficial impact on the gaming industry. The current gen consoles are too young to judge their impact on the market until further time passes but it is obvious what the older generations have done. Hence, the NES winning.NezumiiroKitsune said:
The fact that the Wii beat out... uhh... anything... is really, really sad. I didn't think they counted "being a paper weight" as proof of a good console.
A show of hands, among those of you with a Wii and another console, how many of you play the Wii more than once a month?

1. It was the first console with a built-in modem, thereby paving the way for online console gaming.NezumiiroKitsune said:
2. It actually had good games on it.
3. The fact that it ultimately failed meant Sega went into the third party market, affecting subsequent generations.
So, it gets fairly high up on library and influence, there.
I'd agree with that list... Though, can they really call them the 25 best consoles of all time? All time is a long time. How do they know that no console in the future will surpass any of the existing ones on that list? Seems kind of pretentious to me.
