first they rate GC# 16 (WTF???????????????????????)

then they rate ps3#15 (WTF???????????????????#2)

then xbox360>ps1 and n64? (WTF????????????????????????????????????????????#3)

who the crap made that list anyway

SilverChimera

probably the IGN xbox team

Each console on the list ahead was selected for its influence on the industry and the gaming culture as a whole, with special consideration for their benchmark titles, peripherals, monetary success, and total hardware sold

Well, there's goes any credibility IGN had.

I can see placing it above the 64 because it just wasn't that great, but the PS1?

You can't spell ignorance without IGN.

Maybe the guy who wrote it prefers the Xbox 360, Imagine that?

he can prefer it all he wants facts are facts and facts are 360 is not top 10 material

lol that is an opinion not a fact.

I can see 360 beat N64. N64, despite it's successes, also as a considerable failure for Nintendo. It is definitely still a top rate console however. But, 360 beating PSX, no. The only competitors for PSX should be NES, SNES, PS2, and the Atari 2600 (I believe that's the number, could be wrong, before my time). All these guys set the whole feel for their respective generations, and dominated. All of them were huge in bringing gaming to where it is.

Well, it's actually based around people playing games for the first time in their lives and revolutionizing the game industry along with easy to use yet hard to master games, but the controller also helped.

Ok so that is your opinion. IGN and myself both disagree.

How old are you??

I have a PS1, N64 and a 360 and i can say PS1 and N64>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>360

i think MS is in this, now that sony is going to be winning in sales they are getting desperate and are mocking gaming history that IGN dont even have a clue about.

Oh man, it's those conspiracy theories again. Keep'em comin' :lol:.

Everybody complains that Xbox/Xbox 360 games go to the PC, yet pretty much all the PS1's hits were on the PC as well. Final Fantasy VII and VIII, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal 2, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Tomb Raider, Castlevania: SOTN (on Saturn), Mega Man Legends (on N64), etcc. etc.

PS1 had Spyro, Crash, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy 8, MGS....

Both the N64 and PS1 had games that are now widely as the greatest games ever made (Zelda OoT, FFVII)...

How in the Hell does Xbox 360 top that?

Like I said before, current gen consoles should NOT be in this list AT ALL.

With the 360 acquiring games like the DMC, Virtua Fighter, Tekken and Final Fantasy series.. Keeping solid performances by Bungie, Rare, and Tecmo and starting great new franchises like Gears... I can't disagree with that choice.. too much.. I think I would've rated the DC #6 and the 360 #7.

I am actually ok with that. As much as I love my Nintendo 64 I must say it was a system basically supported by both Nintendo and Rare. My big shock though is that the Wii is ahead of the Gamecube. :?

Its just so funny how people are stuck in the past and say dumb things. I have had a ps1 and the 360 is definitely better than it. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE SYSTEM DID BACK THEN. The FACT of the matter is that the 360 is a """"" BETTER GAMING EXPERIENCE"""""" than them so therefore it is better. Units sold ect dont matter its consoles and there about playing games and the 360 gives a better gamign system than any system ever except & arguably that is the ps2.

As much as I love SMG, Gamecube is way better than Wii. Pikmin, Wind Waker, Rogue Squadron 2, SSBM, tons of stuff that make the Gamecube an exceptional console.

Yeah so basically if the Xbox gets knocked down for having some titles on the PC, then so does the PS1. The PS2 got better though when it came to exclusives as well as the 360 has.

With the addition of a fantastic and "paving the way"-esque online service (for the console industry), you make a good point.

MassiveKaos
The problem is.. the fanboys (mostly cows) on this forum are sooo wrapped up in "Teh Exclusives".. That they're missing the big picture. So what a game is on the PC and 360.. It still can't be played on another console and that is what matters when objectively comparing the console's as a whole. The 360 is one of the best platforms (game wise) to come along in a long time. Too bad the hardware is ****ty as heck..
