Precisely, and the reason I wave my cane around while screaming, 'everything was better when I was a lad!'Iwata said:So the opposite problem of the Wii, then.rob_simple said:
I can't decide on PSX or PS2. Both have incredibly extensive librarys, both have given my countless hours of gaming. I guess I'll have to go with the PS2, only because it's backwards compatible making it essentially both in one.
Captcha: civil war. Yeah we tend to get those when favourite consoles are mentioned.

I'm going to have to say the PS2. That game had so many great title ranging from Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Ape Escape 2 and 3, The Ratchet and Clank series, Jak and Daxter series, Sly Cooper series, We Love Katamari, (I've never played the original) and others I can't remember at the moment.
I do have to say though, the PS3 is pretty close behind. While I'll admit, it doesn't have as many great exclusives as it's older brother, it still satisfies me with what it has and the ability to download old PS1 titles off of there. Hell if it weren't for it I've never would have played Final Fantasy IX. And you wouldn't get to see Vivi's handsome mug on here. (At least not as much)

Xbox 360, because I have had the most fun with it over any console.
Yes I owned a SNES, I can only remember one good game for it and that was Super Mario 3.
Yes I owned an N64, and that had a few great games - Mario Kart and Goldeneye come straight to mind.
Yes I owned a PS1 and PS2, and I tell you I spent many happy hours playing Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.
But the game console I have the most fond memories with is the 360, despite the fact it's noisy, and despite the fact it's fragile, and despite the fact they over heat, it's my favourite.
No one said it had to be an old console...

PS2, I got one for Christmas when I was 13, I spent more time with it than all other consoles I've owned combined (wasn't in to gaming much as a kid, I had a PS2 all through highschool, and now I don't have time to game I only got my 360 in '09).
I always seemed to have a tonne of fun games and it was great for socialising due to the split screen multi player being the only multi player, with the obvious exception of SOCOM.
I even had a 4 player attachment for it.

Your favorite device that plays video games? That's a bit silly of a question to ask, it's not like they do much on their own. I can see how one might prefer a controller and a game and such but console? That's just like saying "my favorite VCR was ..."
Well I can certainly say the 360 is my least favorite of them all, I take great care of my stuff have a lot of older systems and seven of the dumb things croaked on me. Absolutely infuriating.
64 being a runner up because of the crappy controller and cart format that forced a lot of games to have very blurry textures.
I'll say Playstation is my 'favorite' because it had a lot of wonderful JRPGs that I still like today, that being impressive since most JRPGs now-a-days are angsty messes. The controllers were neat and Memory Cards really were awesome for the time.
I'm not sure I've said as single positive thing here hmm...I'm glad my Genesis+Sega CD never ever gave me trouble...unlike my fucking Xbox 3-*dragged off stage with a cane*

I would probably pick the PS2 like so many other if i only had been able to take pleasure in the massive games library it supposedly has. I guess without my own source of income it was a bit hard to actually get any games for anything.
In terms of what i've used more time on it's gotta be the PS3 though. I do have a lot of love for the Gamecube too, but looking back i realize that's mostly just due to the Zelda Collector's Edition, WindWaker, Metroid Prime, and Mario Kart: Double Dash (i didn't have a lot of games for that system either).
I wish i'd gotten to enjoy the libraries of other consoles more, but it seemed we had moved on by the time i got seriously into gaming.
