Words cannot describe how pathetic that list was. So pictures will:
Yay.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
there not talking sales, they are talking games and in that area the PS3 hasnt caught up to anything.Pre-April fools joke?
Seriously something is just wrong with you if you actually believe that. 360 is just nowhere near being the best console for its time.... especially considering PS3 has prettymuch caught up and will be surpassing it soon.

If it didn't have RRoD and other issues and was just a tad quieter, THEN it might just be the greatest console of all time._KenKittyragi_
It definately has great games. I'm not sure if they are quite "greatest game selection of all time great", but they are certainly impressive. Hardware and cost is another matter entirely though.
It is easily the best console I've owned.
Easily.
It provides perhaps the single greatest gaming experience ever. It's simply how it was designed around "the social" that makes it work. Without LIVE, it doesn't make my top 5. With LIVE (brilliantly designed as it is), it's my #1 in terms of pure gaming expeirence.
But if we go by some criteria other than pure gaming experience, the 360 is not on the top of my list.
The technical problems blow, however. And the PS3 could supplant the 360 on my list if it's PSN offering tightens up.
360...better than the N64? Really? Better than the Genesis? Really?! Come on!Udsenpure gameplay experience? I'd say so. To me, the 360 is like standing in a permanent arcade. It's like having your buddies over 24/7. Some of you are too young to appreciate the arcade revolution of the 90s...but for people like me, we love it.
The LIVE experience makes average games better. It makes you want to game. It makes you want to be social while gaming. It's a cultural thing, perhaps. Or perhaps it's because I'm a social guy (I was once President of the 3 largest student orgs at my University).
But to me...it brings everything to a gaming experience I'd want (other than hardware longevity). It just gets so many things right.

The SP experiences ain't bad either and despite all the crap thrown at achievements I consider them a MAJOR plus that have completely changed the way I approach my games FOR THE BETTER. I get much more value out of them.
Seriously, better than NES and SNES...
If stupidness was a crime, whoever wrote that should do life.
Udsen
For me, yes.
And the only thing "stupid" here is calling someone's opinion--based on the criteria they find important in gaming--"stupid". In fact, it's juvenile. You don't need to insult the author because you disagree. Just disagree and be done with it. It's not like he's going to come in to argue with you.

You're right, he'd get torn to shreds by pure logic with not only credible review scores, but overall sales and quality of consoles.
He's comparing a system with NO AAAA's, not even 3 YEARS out, to systems that have actually proven themselves with one of the consoles having the highest rated game of all time. Not to mention a system that's introduced the most famous video game character of all time, with the best selling game of all time, and SAVED the console industry.
Pure stupidity. Straight, no chaser, no ice STUPIDITY.
I'm sorry, he's allowed to have his opinion, but that's like saying Chad Kreuger is the best guitarist of all time. They had a few hits, but DAMN.

I don't think you get it. That's fine, though. Has nothing to do with sales. It has nothing to do with AAAA's. It has nothing to do with review scores. It has everything to do with the experirence.
It's fine that you don't understand; but understand that people can and will disagree with you.
Try to fathom that.

There are millions more that will agree with me. Try to fathom that. I guess it's a hard pill to swallow.

Udsen
A hard pill to swallow what? I've not discounted your opinion. Millions will agree with you. I've simply reminded you that YOUR opinion is not the final opinion on anything at all. In life. EVERYONE will agree with me on that point...and millions will agree that the 360 is the best gaming experience they've had to date. Understand you're talking to a man with 25 years of gaming experience, so when I tell you my opinion (and it is just my opinion), It's not out of bias or anything else. I simply find it to be the best console gaming experience to date.
You're entitled to your opinion.
He's entitled to his.
I'm entitled to mine.
Everyone who posts here is entitled to theirs.
Stop acting like someone kicked your dog because we don't agree. Stop acting like your OPINION (understand that "the best" in anything is always subjective) is FACT.
Nobody disagrees that you are entitled to your opinion. But your opinion has no bearing on me or how I feel about anything.
Again...fathom it.

/Sigh.
I said the guy was allowed to have his opinion but as a free man as well, I'm allowed to think he's downright dumb for it.
I don't care how many years you've been gaming. I don't care at all. I think you're wrong.
And there's nothing you can do because my opinion of your opinion and his opinion is a valid opinion. Fail.
has to be a joke.killzowned24Yes, because everyone must think the same.
While we're at it, let's also suggest that the Ford F150 was the best truck ever.
And that vanilla ice cream is the best flavor ever.
And that Star Wars IV was the best movie ever.
I mean, the sales numbers and popularity suggest it so. Right? No room for differing opinions. Not on System Wars.
String 'em up!

crackdown is easily one of the best games this gen. you obviously havent even played the game :|
:lol:
While I believe it deserves to be on that list, I wouldn't call it the best console of all time. That's reserved for the N64 in my mind.

Nothing wrong with opinions. Meanwhile, I think half of my LIVE buddy list would agree. But who cares? The bottom line is he has his opinion and there's nothing wrong with that.
If a majority of people agreed that vanilla icecream was the best flavor ever, should the people that like chocolate feel "stupid" or "wrong"? It's not an objective conversation because it's not an objective issue.
Star Wars IV is perhaps the single highest-grossing movies of all time. Does that mean I'm "stupid" if I say I prefer Edward Scissorhands or Coming to America or The Godfather or Lord of The Rings?
...and personally, I'd take a Land Rover over an F150.
A subjective opinion based on what someone finds fun can't be wrong. it's just an opinion.

According to Udsen, you'd not only be wrong; you'd be an idiot for putting the N64 up there. Look at teh sales. OMG, you can't have an opinion that doesn't conclude with "NES" or "SNES".
:lol:
I'm outta this dumb thread. Crucifying people because they have more fun is the epic fail; not his opinion.
