gamedaily: Top 10 consoles of all time (NO PS3)

Gears of War 1 and 2

Really? ;) (I know what you meant)

Your list is less impressive if you take the cross-platform games out.

Metal Gear Solid 3
God of War 1 and 2
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus
Final Fantasy 10
Kingdom Hearts
Rez
GT4
Tekken 4, Tekken 5
Jak and Daxter
Final Fantasy 12
Silent hill 2, 3, 4

Most of the other consoles can match, or better that for quality (IMO :p)

lol...care to share?

Yep, just Google "X games list", where X is the name of the console :D

You're seriously telling me the likes of the PSone, N64, 360, Dreamcast, SNES, Mega Drive, Gamecube etc. can't come up with an exclusive list each that matches that?

Honestly? The Wii hasn't done enough to satisfy people in the long term yet.

I think wii should be in the list because it's fun and great for family. Isn't that what it used to be for a game console?

But serious gamers might be dissapointed by the graphics.

PS3 still need times to mature and hopefully SONY knows what they are doing.

I think it could come close, But I don't think it would match it. No. But then again, that's why I put it as my number 1.

No, or maybe 1 potential, but some of those I can't believe youve said could be comparable. Look at some exclusives list for each consoles, you maybe surprized and the PS2 is the best selling console to date.

PS3 has got a long way to go. Thing with Playstation is though they have some of the best franchises (imo). MGS, Final Fantasy, God of War, Gran Turismo, Tekken. PS2 seriously dominated in its day mainly due to the lack of competition, even GTA, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Devil May Cry + a ton others were PS2 exclusive at some point hense why I feel its probably the greatest console of all time (for me anyway, and maybe I was too young to experience previous consoles enough to fully understand/judge.)

I don't think I would be surprised, and I'm not sure how volume of sales relates to something being the 'best' (unless that's how we are judging this?).

It's all down to opinion anyway, and we all know that varies greatly in this forum :)
 
1) PS2
2) PS1
3) Atari 2600
4) Mega Drive

PS1 and PS2 occupy those slots purely for their respective RPG's. There was a load of AAA games on those consoles.

Grand theft auto 3, VC and SA
Final Fantasy 10
Kingdom Hearts
Rez
GT4
Need for speed: Underground
Tekken 4, Tekken 5
Burnout
Jak and Daxter

Lego Star wars
Lego Indiana jones
Manhunt
Resident evil 4
Tomb Raider remake

I know you meant God of War, but Silent Hill 4 and the Call of Duty series?
 
Why not the 360 as #1? The n64 was good BACK THEN! the controls are so horrible if you use them now and really it only had a few good games

Goldeneye
Mario kart
Diddy kong racing
Banjo games

There was a lot of rubbish on this console, where as the 360 has basically redifined console gaming its bought a huge step forwards for gaming in the comfort of your sofa. Ok the PS3 has too, but lets not forget the PS3 was way behind the 360 release date wise and general opinion is that XBOX LIVE is much better than the PSN.

I think if you go by what it has bought us then its definately #1

:o Blinkered eyes

The N64 had some of the most AAA exclusives that i can remember. My X360 is my main console and i also own a Nintendo Wii and while i agree my X360 gives me a better gaming experience then my Wii it can not touch the N64.

Heres a list for you.

Mario 64
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Donkey Kong 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Legend Of Zelda:OOT
Legend Of Zelda: MM
Perfect Dark
GoldenEye 007
Excite Bike 64
Wave Race 64
Space Station Silicon Valley
F-Zero X
Paper Mario
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Turok Rage Wars
Blast Corps
Lylat Wars
1080 Snowboarding
Body Harvest
Killer Instinct
Top Gear Rally
Diddy Kong Racing
Jet Force Gemini
Pilot Wings
Pokemon Stadium (Although very expensive was a great game if you had all the parts)
Goemon's Great Adventure
Snowboard Kids

Thats just off the top of my head.

Still to this day i don't know how Nintendo and Rare managed to churn out game after game of quality. I guess thats why M$ paid $377 for them. I don't think they are worth that now but the stuff they put out on the N64 at the time was second to none.
 
The N64 was good back then, and it's true that few of the games hold up today. But the point is you judge the system as it was at the time, and at the time the N64 didn't have a high number of games, but it did have a pretty good amount of quality games.

Quality over Quantity. I never bought a console because of how many games it had but how many quality games it had.
 
Thats true but it also spawned a whole new level of tat games that are rushed to market to make a quick buck, something which the Wii seems to have taken to even greater heights.

But those "tat" games are probably a major reason for Playstation and Wii's widespread popularity, it's a case of the old "One man's rubbish is another mans treasure".

There's a lot of rubbish that were no mans treasure! However, the top games on those formats often help balance the scales.
