If you could only have one gaming console

I would go with a launch PS3 as it can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games.Eikichi-Onizuka

If PC doesn't count (since it ain't a console) I'm going with PS3 or PS2.

A Nintendo Wii.

I know many of you are wanting to yell at me after that answer, but hear me out:

The Wii can play it's library of games (which has more gems than people give it credit for, amongst the shovel-ware), it's backwards compatible with the GameCube; but more importantly than that: VIRTUAL CONSOLE!

But we can't choose the actual systems here, we can only choose 1 system.

In reality, I completely agree, though. Real consoles are always better because they have a bigger library.

And I choose the Wii over model 1 PS3, because of the Mario games, Zelda games, Super Metroid, RPGs, and Donkey Kong Country games. Plus all the third-party games that may be multiplatform, but since we can only choose 1 console here that doesn't matter.

[QUOTE="Jakandsigz"] The Virtual console does not have enough support for it to be chosen over the actual systems it has imo. The only one close is the NES possibly. Nintendo also has not been supporting it very well the last few years. I actually though about that myself when looking at Sony and MS backwards compatibility, but looking at the VC library it's pretty lacking imo. So tell me, what games on the VC do you think makes the Wii a keeper? Because if you think so most of your favorite games must be on the VC.Jakandsigz

I wrote it because you wrote the part that's in red.

Like I said, if I can choose the actual systems, I would (I did, I own most of them, except for the Neo Geo MVS). But I can't according to the original post. So instead, I'd settle for a good mix of games on multiple systems, since I'm only limited to one console choice.

The NES.

Games for it are still being made in China and "8-bit" doesn't age. ;)

Wii U

-It plays all Wii games

-It can play many NES, SNES, N64, and Sega Genesis

-The one system Nintendo library it doesn't have access to is Gamecube, but you can play the new play control pikmin games on it as well as Metroid Prime Trilogy and Wind Waker HD is coming.

-It's future library is already looking very strong with Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Super Matio 3D World, Bayonetta 2, and Super Smash Bros.

Original Xbox! :)

PS2, tons of RPGs. I'd be fine with only just that :P

I have only got one console and i'm highly unlikely to ever buy another one.

PS2 + my game collection. :D

The Wii U has access to every single Virtual Console game on Wii. You just have to access them from the Wii U's built  in Wii menu
