This begs the ultimate question.....what would you put as the top gaming systems?
1) PC - If John Romero (the western Shigeru Miyamoto) is right, and the chances are he is, this will begin to replace consoles. It does everything, often better than the consoles do.
2) Nintendo 64 - The games this console had blew PS1 and Sega Saturn clean out of the water. The problem was that there weren't enough.
3) SNES - This also had a stunning games lineup and was simply amazing at the time
4) PS2 - The largest gaming lineup like ever but unfortunately that meant it had a lot of shit games
5) GBA - A great handheld that sold extremely well and built on all the greatness of the GBC.
6) GBC - Same as GBA
7) Sega Dreamcast - Probably the most underrated console ever. If Sega had waited a few years and added a DVD player, it would have dominated.
8) Xbox - Second most underrated console ever. Great games, great controllers and a great hard drive. Let down by lack of third party (mainly Japanese) support.
9) DS - I can't fault the fact that it is selling well but I just don't like handhelds, especially ones with two screens.
10) Wii - Genius. If Nintendo gets some games out this could very well end up in the top 5.
Why didn't I include PS1? Because it was a piece of shit. I have no idea why it sold well... it was less reliable than the 360, had a small minority of good games and a vast majority of almost unplayable games, the graphics were shit compared to its competitors and the only thing it had going for it was the ease in which you could mod chip it.
