I thought both GC and Xbox were much much better consoles then the DC. I don't really like where the DC sits at all.

This also. as much I hate the XBOX, at least it was able to keep production for a longer period and was the haven for Halo on consoles. As for the Gamecube ... eh, Im trying to find an argument for it but Im struggling at the moment ..

I think there's a "god tier" of Atari, NES, SNES, Megadrive, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360. Sega's/MS/Nintendo's other consoles were too overshadowed by their "god tier" rivals :P Judging this pretty much on game libraries. Sorry the Wii or Dreamcast don't get in for "teh innovations" :P Nor N64 for "teh exclusives" :P

Both arguments over the DC are easy imo. They both just had much more high quality games, and the best games were better. I own all three, and DC has definitely been my least played by far.

On IGN Nintendo only had 1 GOTY and that was in 2007 Super Mario Galaxy.

the ps3 is not on there because it did not have one true standout title until mgs4 and then it took another entire year after that before it's library filled out enough to compete with its direct competition.

maybe that is a pretty cheesy reason since it is such a standout console at this point but i can easily see the justification.

I'd personally put the top 5 as something like this

1-PS2

2-N64

3-SNES

4-Genesis/GC/Xbox

Never been a fan of the PS1, and never played much NES.

Lol well said. But the NES and Atari 2600 are more than nostalgia, and how can the PS2 be called nostalgia? it's still around...

I dont know how you can put 360 at #6 and PS3 is no where on the list. 95% of their games are the same... While 360 has XBL and some multiplats are slightly better, the PS3 has the better exclusives with Uncharted 2/3, Metal Gear Solid4, and Little Big Planet being 3 of the highest rated games this entire generation.

The PS3 is the best console this gen, but the 360 should be on the list for doing what they did to online. PSN would be terrible if it had not been for XBL being better in every way.

I was generalizing. IGN's articles are fanboy bait and nothing more. Their reviews are okay, but their articles are ridiculous.

How the Dreamcast can make it onto a best of anything other than failing list when it comes to consoles is beyond me.

It doesn't really make sense for the 360 to be on there but not the PS3, because in reality, they are very, very similar.

Dreamcast should be higher, PS2 at the top, Xbox 360 and no PS3? Wait, how many consoles are there anyway? Wouldn't think there'd have been enough to bother with a top 10.

PS3 was far more expensive, far less supported and under delivered in the end, i agree with it to be honest the PS3 was terrible at launch and is only now on par with Xbox i'm willing to bet if Sony charged for online the PS3 would have never taken off and ended up free to play anyway.

I have a great problem with this list...as much as people hype up the Dreamcast it is by no means better than PS3 or the Nintendo DS

And I would not rate the 360 that highly.

[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]It's a pretty solid list ... but I wouldn't include the N64 there. It had some amazing software but it constantly had droughts and was definitely one of the weaker Nintendo consoles ever.mems_1224
maybe its the nostalgia but i loved my n64.

Yeah, I'd put it on top. Happiest days of my life !

Ha, I didn't even have to glance at a list of DC games, an indication how many great games it had in it's relatively small library. It deserves a spot, not a high spot, but a spot.

Oh yeah, and it was the first console that was somewhat popular for online play among its users in the US. A few earlier experiment had been done, but that's what they were, experiments; Phantasy Star online was actually a success.

Yeah, a console that didn't really do much the 360 didn't isn't on the list. What a surprise. And the Wii, a console that changed the industry, is.

are u serious? so the list is about sales?? i thought it was quality. ps3 has far more quality overall than the wii...

i'll agree with this. as a console, the wii is nothing more than a white gamecube and the 360 is an RROD machine. the PS3 is the most well-designed console out of the bunch.

I would have put N64 in the top 5 (OOT, SM64, Pokemon Snap!!) and taken away some of the older consoles. I'm sure they are great, but this is from my personal gaming experience.

I thought both GC and Xbox were much much better consoles then the DC. I don't really like where the DC sits at all.

NO! DC is almost as good as ps2.

Ps1 way too low and the n64 too. I say nay for the 360 and wii on the lists.
