Greatest Gaming Platform

What is the greatest gaming platform? What makes it the best? What is your favorite part of that system? If you want you may mention your favorite console or handheld if it not be the greatest one.

I beleive the Super NES(Super Nintendo entertainment system) is the greatest gaming platform. It seems to me, that the SNES has a Gem(amazingly great game) for each and every video-game genre(racing, action-adventure, fighting, etc.). Name any genre or type of game and SNES has a great game for that particular genre. My favorite video-game platform is the Gamecube. Although it never reached a high popularity, I think Nintendo did a phenomenall job with the Gamecube. With games like Super Smash bros. Melee, Resident Evil 4, and Metroid Prime, the Gamecube can rival any system and put up a good fight.

This is actually a great answer because P.C.'s library only builds and never ends.

Seriously though, SNES was a great platform, but I don't view it as the best. I'd say launch PS3 is the greatest game machine ever, personally. I mean, PS1 + PS2 + PS3 library on one machine? Hard to compete with that.

Im going with PC here.

PS2 is my choice. The selection of games is just amazing.

There is no right choice here, though.

PC hands down. Any platform with a never ending library wins by default.

Those three great systems on one platform is very amazing but based on its own games, do you stillthink PS3 is the best?

Megadrive,PS1 and PS2 so many good memories and time wasted.

Cant say the same for this gen theres been very few games that have struck me as WOW tbh :S its just bigger bugets and better graphics most of the time which is a little dissapointing :( last gen even tho its became a massive cash cow you had Guitar hero 1 and 2 appearing and to me they were a breath of fresh air.

Motion controls might have had a bigger impact on the general public but to me i just cba with it i prefer lying in my bed with a controller and a can of cola :)

PC. Game over. Nothing to see here.

I doubt anyone else thinks so

And the PS3 is a glorified Blu-Ray player by that token.

Anyway, the point is saying that PC is one continuous platform implies that you can buy 1 pc and play all pc games, past, present, future, and it's not the case.

[QUOTE="mariokart97"]

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Well, let's say I think the PS1 had the greatest library ever. Obviously the PS2 would be a better gaming console, since it can play the PS1 library IN ADDITION to its own library. Likewise, if the PS2 is great thanks to the PS1 and PS2 libraries, the (BC) PS3 has to be even better, since it plays those games PLUS its own.

the wii would still win by having the best games ever playable on its console, everything from Zelda OoT, SMG1 and 2 to Metroid Prime and RE4 ect.

all the best from gamerankings and metacritics

I do, but that user isn't actually implying that it's the truth. But if someone were to say: "PS2, Game over", I would find that to be just as arrogant.

[QUOTE="adamosmaki"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"]It's not entirely true though, is it? If I bought a PC in 1990, that PC does not have a never ending library. I could play games on it for maybe a few years without needing to buy new hardware. Likewise, PCs are not 100% BC; buying a PC today doesn't mean I can play every PC game ever made. I have plenty of old DOS PC games that are unplayable on modern PCs. Privateer 2, for instance, when I try to play it on a newer winxp or vista PC runs way too fast (like 10x normal speed) pretty much guaranteeing you die within 5 seconds. Maybe it's possible to go in and screw with settings and hardware profiles and such to fix it, but it's not really worth it. I remember the days of having to change your settings for every game and use boot disks and all that junk. Not interested.

Anyway, the point is saying that PC is one continuous platform implies that you can buy 1 pc and play all pc games, past, present, future, and it's not the case.

Half-Way

the wii would still win by having the best games ever playable on its console, everything from Zelda OoT, SMG1 and 2 to Metroid Prime and RE4 ect.

all the best from gamerankings and metacritics

quality > quantity as cows like to say

Wii has 10. Cube has 26. N64 has 17, but only about 7 of them are available on the VC (and if you had those games originally, it's not like you could play it on the Wii without buying it again). Metacritic doesn't go back further than that, so that's a total of 43 AAA (by Metacritic).

PC for a number of different reasons. Some of thos being:

• Mods - a great addition to any game, and a plethora of good choices out there
• Library - The library is huge, even for just this gen alone and not counting past gens
• Performance - performance is based on hardware, therefore if I have good hardware, then I can get a silky smooth 60FPS in a lot of games, or just settle for 30FPS on intense games
• Graphics - No need to explain this, but suffice to say resolution and other details in games is phenomenal

[QUOTE="Half-Way"]

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]So you are comparing ONLY exclusives, and not total libraries? So games like Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption, Halo, Zelda: Twilight Princess, etc. don't count?

dont be silly, you know that the argument quality > quantity can always be used as demonstrated by many gamespot users

all of the best games are playable on the wii, the top 3 of all time Zelda OoT, SMG1 and 2

see?

+ the red is a bonus just for you :)

So, OoT, SMG, SMG2 are the highest rated of all time, if you leave out all the other games that received the same scores as SMG and SMG2. Of the top 4 (since three are tied for second place) rated games on Metacritic, 2 are playable on a Wii, and 2 are playable on a PS3. If you include third place, making it the top 10 rated games, 4 are available on Wii and 4 are available on PS3.
