04.25.16 | *PS4 - Still early days, but the quality of games is building nicely and with the library already boasting The Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Dark Souls 3, Fallout 4, MGS 5 plus the exclusive Uncharted 4 and No Man's Sky soon to be released the PS4 could move higher up the list in coming years.
**Xbox One - Same again, early days for the Xbox One but it has the potential to move higher up the list but for now it's just lacking the exclusive titles and HD remakes that the PS4 has. What it does beat the PS4 on however is backwards compatibility.
***Wii U - Already well behind the big 2, Nintendo have turned into a shadow of the gaming juggernaut they once were and even a new Zelda and a new Mario won't help Nintendo take the throne from Sony and Microsoft. |

04.25.16 | Mega Drive is way too low man! That should be challenging SNES for the top spot!
I also prefer Xbox over PS in general since the last gens but I can understand a personal bias coming in there! |
ryu
04.25.16 | Yeah Mega Drive had some great games but over time the games haven't held the same legacy that the likes of SNES and Playstation have.
As far as PS vs Xbox goes i'm a PS man through and through, that's not to say I didn't enjoy my Xbox experiences, which I did immensely but I hate the Xbox controllers and just found the quality of the PS exclusive games to be the difference. |
Shemson
04.25.16 | I dunno man, mega drive had titles like Golden Axe, Streest of Rage, the classic Sonic series, original Mortal Kombats and Street Fighters, Worms, Micro Machines... It was a great console!
Understandable about the controller I don't like the PS one anymore since I switched but the 360 had some great exclusives like Left 4 Dead, in fact that's the reason I switched! |
Middle18
04.25.16 | Think my top three would be N64,Dreamcast and Megadrive oh the memories! Really gone off gaming these days :( |
smaugman
04.25.16 | gamecube needs to be higher up |
Shemson
04.25.16 | GameCube had some really strong titles like their exclusive resident evil 4 release and smash bros and Mario kart were top multiplayer titles too! |
Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
04.25.16 | N64, PS2, PS1 for me. |
ryu
04.25.16 | Gamecube was a real dark horse of the gaming consoles. It had some quality quality games including Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime 1, Metroid Prime 2, Mariokart Double Dash and Resident Evil 4. Bumped up to 10th spot. |
ryu
04.25.16 | General consensus is that Dreamcast and Gamecube were both under-rated.
The Mega Drive was great but it lacked a true classic that other consoles had such as Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Mario, FF6, Shenmue, Metroid Prime, Shadow of Colossus, Halo or Red Dead Redemption.
Sonic was great, Streets of Rage too but I can't rank them alongside the elite. |
UpwardSpiral
04.25.16 | I loved SNES, Link to the Past, Ghouls &ghosts, Turtles in time,Street Fighter II, Mario Kart & World. |
ryu
04.25.16 | + Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, NBA Jam, SMB 3, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 4, Super Metroid, Super Castlevania, Super Mario Kart..and so many others |
MarsKid
04.25.16 | I grew up with the PS2 and Gamecube. Wish I still owned the GC, but at least I have a Wii to compensate. |
JigglyPDiddy
04.25.16 | Snes, PSOne, Gamecube, Dreamcast, N64, everything else
the snes just can't be beat |
MeatSalad
04.25.16 | ps4 has one good exclusive so far, doesn't even come close to the cube. even the 360 is better at this point |
ryu
04.25.16 | Valid point Metasalad, the Ps4 is still finding it's feet but with the quality of titles still to come it has the potential to be knocking on the door of the top 10. Dropped down two spots in retrospect. |
MarsKid
04.25.16 | It's funny how the Gamecube got a lot of criticism initially, but as the years went by it gained a lot of popularity when people realized the awesome titles it had. |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | 3 and 4 are 1 and 2. we got the same top 4 tho nice list man |
RadicalEd
04.25.16 | 1. Personal Computer
2. all the other ones |
guitarded_chuck
04.25.16 | "1. Personal Computer
2. all the other ones"
^born in the 00s |
Shemson
04.25.16 | GameCubes main criticism was the lack of titles I think... The thing that went unnoticed was that it was quality over quantity until later in life when people realised this. |
ryu
04.25.16 | Oh no the PC troll decided to show up. Banish yourself back to the dark ages of 56k modem gaming. |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | yea GC had melee and metroid prime 1&2 which puts it in the upper echelons by default |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | "^born in the 00s"
honestly, idk how u can be team pc master race unless u didnt grow up on the huge variety of classic consoles |
guitarded_chuck
04.25.16 | good point |
demigod!
04.25.16 | yay dreamcast rip |
ryu
04.25.16 | Don't get me wrong i've had some great gaming experiences on the PC, but for me nothing can beat the home gaming console and the dynamic it brings to a household. For example, Goldeneye 007 multiplayer on the N64 is a totally different beast than online PC gaming. For my group of mates, we used to play to battle each other in person, not some stranger halfway across the world. |
demigod!
04.25.16 | n64 multiplayer for days
Banjo Tooie man |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | hard bros |
ryu
04.25.16 | Yeah agreed on that Keyblade. Also I can't think of one PC title that would even make my top 20 games of all time. |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | duke nukem would prob make mine, used to play it at my uncles' house on their windows 95 pc. easily the most engrossing fps i ever played, i just couldnt get enough |
DungeonBoy
04.25.16 | SNES is #1. good job. But I'm pretty sure PS1 should be higher than the other PSs. |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | ps2 is an upgrade on the ps1 in like every way dude |
ryu
04.25.16 | demigod, Banjo Tooie fuck yeah man. Throw in Mariokart, WWE Wrestlemania, Perfect Dark, Snowboard Kids, 1080 Snowboarding, Mario Party 7 and it's no wonder N64 multiplayer consumed hours of young lives. |

yeah dude
damn this thread makes me feel nostalgic, i miss those days
internet gaming is one thing, having all the bros together on one tv and playing endless rounds of goldeneye or mario kart or smash bros or nhl is another |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | i remember i played banjo tooie multiplayer at a friend's house once and i was so hooked that i just had to have it. kept begging my mom and eventually got banjo kazooie instead. i was kinda disappointed but soon it became my fav game of all time, or at least top 3
also conker's bad fur day had a really underrated multiplayer. rare was really killin it in those days |
tempest--
04.25.16 | ps4 is far better than ps3 imo and idk how it's still "early days" when its been out for over two years |
DungeonBoy
04.25.16 | "ps2 is an upgrade on the ps1 in like every way dude"
lol, and ps3 is an upgrade on the ps2 and the ps4 is an upgrade on the ps3. I guess I should have been more clear, but I'm talking about FFVII, Symphony of the Night, MGS. classics man. |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | naw i meant in terms of library too. ps2 prolly has the best library of any console |
DungeonBoy
04.25.16 | That's an interesting opinion. What games would you say are among the best for ps2? |
ryu
04.25.16 | tempest - ps4 hasn't really done anything groundbreaking yet (Witcher 3 aside) its been pumping out remastered games like God of War, Last of Us, FFX, Shadow of Colossus, Ico, Journey which all originated on PS2 and PS3. The quality of games on both PS2 and PS3 is far more than PS4 at this point in time. |
MarsKid
04.25.16 | Star Wars Battlefront II. |
tempest--
04.25.16 | ps4 has some fantastic games already man but apart from the library, which I agree it doesnt have over the ps3 (yet), it still is a much better console as a whole, ESPECIALLY that controller 😍😍 |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | mgs2, ffx, gt3 & 4, kingdom hearts (obv), san andreas, god of war and some sweet multiplatform titles from that era like def jam ffny, nba street vol 2 etc
i should rephrase what i said tho, probably not the best library in terms of quality, but definitely the most robust |
Shemson
04.25.16 | Hey Ryu don't be giving PS4 credit for Witcher III, it's been working just as nicely on my Xbox One! What a game though, easily the best next gen experience so far. |
ryu
04.25.16 | Spot on Key, i'll add Okami, Shadow of Colossus, Prince of Persia trilogy, ICO, Gun, Bully and GTA 3 |
ryu
04.25.16 | Shemson, no bias intended just pointed out that game in my comment to tempest. Pretty sure it kicks just as much ass on the Xbox... what a game though. |
LotusFlower
04.25.16 | xbox 360 under the atari 2600? |
Madbutcher3
04.25.16 | gamecube is 1 cus it had melee duh
actually 1 is still probably the PS2 but you know |
Pajolero
04.25.16 | No love for the Wii U, huh? |
ryu
04.25.16 | Unfortunately no. I'm really interested to see how and if Nintendo make a comeback, and the release of Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD is a nice gesture but it's not enough to convince me otherwise. How do other people here feel about the Wii U? |
Keyblade
04.25.16 | i have one and i love it tbh. lot of great titles, on par with the wii like mario kart 8 (best mario kart game), super mario 3d bros, smash 4, rayman legends, mario maker, splatoon. if it just had an exclusive zelda game than it would prob be better than the wii |
MyNameIsPencil
04.25.16 | T-PS2-PS1 thank god the ps2 has backwards compatibility. I still play mine
SNES
360
GameCube |
ryu
04.25.16 | @Clover - yep thats my personal bias showing through. technically of course the 360 is the better console than the Atari 2600 but for my own gaming experiences the Atari was the console I cut my teeth on and it changed the gaming world in its time. |
ryu
04.25.16 | Ah good point Pencil, backwards compatibility is another huge plus and it really pisses me off that Playstation have stopped it. Wait is the Xbox One backward compatible? |
MyNameIsPencil
04.25.16 | The Xbox one has SOME backwards combatability |
Shemson
04.25.16 | Yeah Xbox one roles out 50 or so backwards compatible games at a time. They've done some good ones already but I think they're focusing on the older titles first before they bring out the big guns like Red Dead and Skyrim |
ryu
04.25.16 | Interesting I never knew that. New respect for Xbox one, bumped up one spot. |
TheTripP
04.25.16 | Gamecube and N64 was my childhood, I remember playing Animal Crossing and me and a bud would take turns with a memory card, taking care of our town... I played it for 6 years |
Sinternet
04.25.16 | PS2 is where i have the most memories so i'd have to say that's my favourite. Jumped to pc in like 09 and havent bought a console since but considering how cheap preowned 360s and ps3s are might get one to catch up on some exclusives. Wanna get a wii u at some point too, love me some Mario |
JigglyPDiddy
04.25.16 | The Gamecube will forever be an amazing piece of work. Best controller ever built, too. |
Pajolero
04.25.16 | I love my Wii U. The handful of games that I have for it are absolutely brilliant and unlike anything that other platforms can offer (stuff like Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart, Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong plus a huge library of VC titles from SNES, GBA and even Wii). |
Pajolero
04.25.16 | @Jiggly
Ditto on the Gamecube controller, that thing was fabulous. |
JigglyPDiddy
04.25.16 | The thing just melted in your hands, honestly.
The Wii U is a let down. It has amazing games, but the controller really puts me off most of the time. It's clunky af. Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, MK8 are amazing games, though. Pikmin 3, as well. |
JigglyPDiddy
04.25.16 | I've heard great things about Xenoblade Chronicles X. I've only played Xenogears and the one on the Wii/3ds, though. |
Hawks
04.25.16 | PS1 and N64 ftw. |
MyNameIsPencil
04.25.16 | Everyone knows the N64 had the best controller ever
Also I may actually try and find an old dreamcast, the games aren't really expensive when I see them at disc replay |
Pajolero
04.25.16 | Compared to the first game Xenoblade X is mostly more of the same but a lot prettier and with a lot bigger emphasis on mech combat. Which is to say it's fucking great. |
Pangea
04.25.16 | n64 rules. i wish i had more games for that console |
JigglyPDiddy
04.25.16 | I hope the NX isn't a waste. I'd really like a new Nintendo home console. |
teamster
04.25.16 | NES ..number 1 for me..Zelda, Metroid , Punch Out ... |
Dis_Con_Nec_Ted
04.25.16 | also, Nintendo(N64) + Rare(ware) = best partnership in video gaming |
