In your opinion, what was the greatest console of all time?

1, Playstation - was such a huge step up from previous consoles that it really blew me away. I remember playing Wpieout for the first time and my stomach going over as I went over jumps. Gave the video games industry a much needed shake up imo too.

2, Commodore 64 - Such good gaming memories and soooo many great titles. I think I had over 700 games when I sold it :D

3, Atari 2600 - My introduction to my lifelong hoby and it still gives me a warm feeling inside to think about space invaders, pac man, frogger and sky-dive ;)

PC for the win - were it only allowed!
 
Playstation 2 has to be the best ever it sold the most, nearly 118mil worldwide. Followed closely by the original Playstation at 102mil.

SNES - Many memories playing games such as - Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, Illusion of Time and not forgetting my all time no.1 racer Super Mario Kart.

NES - I still have this in the loft. Lots of good childhood memories playing on this.

PS1 - I still remember christmas morning playing on Wipeout, Tekken. An amazing console for the time and pathed way for future consoles.

N64 - Amazing console aswell and was probably the last console I got all excited about. I remember seeing this console in a magazine, when it was called "Ultra 64". I saved my pocket money for 1.5 years to get this on launch day.

Actually, thinking about it, wouldn't it be great if Ninty started putting classic ST and Ameoba games on the VC. I'd love to play Midwinter, Blood Money, Kick Off, James Pond, Turrican, Lemmings, Shadow of the Beast, etc... etc... etc...
 
You've only played on a PS3 then :p.

I have to give it to sony for trying to be bold and doing something a cut above the rest in terms of features.

Something only comparable with its failure to capture the market

Oh also owned an xbox as well which was pretty good.
 
It offers a lot in terms of technology, but it lacks too many features that it has no excuse for not having. After 2 years I should be able to do at least everything I can do on the Xbox360 on the PS3, but I can't.

Great media center, for that I love it. For games it's behind many other consoles including their previous 2 home efforts.
 
SNES - still play it!!!! nothing will ever come close
N64 - goldeneye, 4 player MP, heaven!
mega drive - still play sonic :D

Question is can the Xbox360 do everything the PS3 can do ? And i didnt think the PS3 had been out 2 years yet, im sure it came out late nov 2006?

Any back on topic, greatest console of all time, the Playstation 2.

Cant think of many other consoles that has had such a vast catalogue of games , from such a wide variety of genres from FPS games to RPGs to rythym games. There was/are still great games that appeal to most gamers either casual or "hard core" and has some genre defining games in its back catalogue, example God of War best action game. Some people think that sales do not show how great a system, i agree in part, but a poor console does not sell 9 million+, 7 years after its release.
 
PS2
PS1
N64

In order of which I enjoyed the most.

The Xbox is very close though with Halo...
