I actually agree with that list, still i think NeoGeo should be on a better place. I wonder how will be the top 10
This topic is locked from further discussion.
If either the 360 or the Dreamcast is in the top 5 my respect for IGN will hit rock bottom.
The Dreamcast is like the Saturn and NEO GEO AES. A kick-ass system for those who want a niche system with superb imports but they can't be compared to the big guns in those generations.
The 360 has a long way to go before it can be compared to the big giants in gaming. In 1-2 years I can see it being there but it aren't there right now.
Why does this list even contain current gen consoles? anything could happen in the upcoming years.
Interesting but the current gen doesn't need to be included, way too early to add systems from this gen into the list.
I believe this should read:
15. PS3 (Non-backwards compatible model)
...
4. PS1
3. SNES.
2. PS2.
1. PS3 (Backwards compatible model).
It would make no sense for the most advanced console ever created, equipped with the ability to play the previous PS1/2 games on top of its own library, to be anything less than #1. If I was to pick any console from history, why would I want anything but a PS3?
In some fantasy land where corporations are not afraid to lose money, Sony could have released a fully functional PC with 20 cel processors, Blu-ray, and full BC at launch for $300, and the public still would be like "Lol@Cows. Live>PSN."
And all we've learned is that one website can't make a list that satisfies everyone. They must have polled a dozen people at the most.
One poll on SW wouldn't make everyone happy. I've seen hate for almost every comnsole in this thread and it's based on personal preference than any other more objective criteria. That's just the way it is.
lol all-time? original xbox higher than the ps3? i guess they didn't go to asia when xbox was released. it was pretty much non-existent there. thi list is just too american. just put in 'of all time in the america perspective' lol.

N64 was better for me 'cause of the insane exclusives like Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazzoie/Tooie, Conker, Majora's Mask, Mario Kart, Beetle Adventure Racing :P, Diddy Kong Racing, Star Fox, Wave Race, Jet Force Gemini.
MS =/= Sony, so...Im just talking about the times. The next generation should start next year. Considering the economy was more stable a few years ago than it is now...yeah. Doubt either the 360 or PS3 will be dropped within the next few years. Adding current-gen consoles to that list was pretty silly, especially since the Xbox 360's library isn't that much better than the PS3's (from where their list is going). Even now, the PS3 is better than the original abomination that was the Xbox.[QUOTE="Giancar"][QUOTE="loco145"]About this time last gen M$ killed the xbox, so...

ps2 had no good online first person shooters.smokedroyowhoa
If you judge the quality of a system based on the FPS games that it has... why play on a console?
FPS=best genre because it's a mix of platforming/adventure and melee fighting and shooting plus puzzles if done right . Platforming!?!....[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"][QUOTE="fenwickhotmail"]1. Snes 2.

Um, they released the video form 10-6 place.
10.- Wii
9.- Nintendo 64
8.- Dreamcast
7.- PS1
6.-Xbox 360
How the hell 360 beat all those is beyond me.

It's on the video.
I think they overated the 360 by about 4 positions, but other than that the list is pretty well made.

well i'd say 360>dreamcast and maybe n64 but not ps1Yeah that's weird, but as stated in my other post -- it's subjective reasoning.
N64 better makte it on that list.
and for peopl, I personally agree that I prefer original Xbox to PS3, but it also had to of my favorite games of all time, Jet Set Radio Future, and Mechassault on it. So I may be a bit of a biased opinion.

I don't understand their reasoning for these placements. It seems more and more like a plot to get more traffic. Has IGN really sunk to destuctiod or Kotaku levels?
If they go by game library then the PS1 should be rated better than the 360 and the N64 should be rather higher than the Dreamcast.
If they go by innovation and importance then the PS1 should be in the top 5 and the Dreamcast shouldn't even be in the top 10.

Importance? Yes. Innovation? No. During the console wars of the 6th generation, the PS1 was regarded anything but innovative. In fact, it was always bashed as the "me-too" console. I remember those days. Games were so much better then....

haha....thats true. I actually agree with most of those. I guess Megadrive, Nes and Snes will be on top 5 which i also agree.
And im glad IGN inst underhyping the 360 like most ppl arround these forums. Its an amazing console with just 1 problem: RRoD :P
