What is the BEST system ever made. (EXCLUDING PC)

So my question is, what is your favorite? It can be a handheld, or platform. Atari, Nintendo, PlayStation, or whatever. DREAMCAST FTW!!!!!sonicx57

Amiga 500 by a mile

I can't tell you what the best system ever made is because I'm not allowed to :P

The Wii.

SNES

hands down, the Playstation 2. Super Nintendo second.

The PS2 is still King.

Best in what? As for build quality, my PSP 1000 looks very nicely made although I like the clamshell (aka laptop) design of the DS better.

Sega Genisis. get Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles to have 100's of hours of fun. Then you have all teh other games too.

Without feeling nostalgic (I would choose SNES if I were), I would say the PS3......hands down, and NO, I'm no Cow.

In terms of games, exclusives, flexibility and multimedia package, the PS3 pretty much covers what I want from a mulit-media, gaming console. More bang for my wallet, imo. It's flexible because I can upgrade the HDD to any off the shelf 3rd party HDD available in the market, and with bigger space for only $100 or less, unlike the 360. It's already Wifi ready, though I don't care for it I prefer a hard line ethernet connection, has BR, CD and DVD playback........and plays games as well, including PS1 games. The only drawback is the lack of a PS2 compatibility feature. I still have my PS2 slim, but I'll live.

Best system of ALL TIME?

SNES

The best console that was, and still is the closest to my heart is the Dreamcast. If I were to judge by the most successful, then I would have to say the PS2. As far as reliability goes, my Dreamcast, Gamecube,Saturn, T-16,and N64 all still work, so it's hard to say on that topic.They sure don't make them like they used to thats for sure!!

Amiga 500

Good to know there is someone else out there who knows the truth!

cause pc doesnt have generations like consoles do. Its basically taking into account every pc game ever made for the past 20 years, which is unfair seeing as how consoles dont work like that.

I say the Genesis

n64 fo sho

anyone who doesnt say the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis ps2 or PS shouldnt be playing games in the first place

The Wii.

dreamcast did have gems on it, but i never owned 1. and the 1 time i saw 1 for sale 2nd hand [for like £10] the guy i nthe shop couldnt find 1 of the wires :(

Because PC is the best, undebatable. Happy now? ;)

Excluding the PC, I'd go with the SNES.

Jaguar obviously

PC. Closely followed by....

The Amiga 500.

Jaguar obviously

Mystic-G

Haha. Wasn't that suppose to be a 64bit machine? That console defined fail. :P

excluding pc: ps1

including pc: ps1

The Dreamcast. The amount of quality games that were released in such a short time is mindblowing. Tell me another console that had a AAAAE game here and only lasted a couple years.

PC :|

PS1 is best even with PC included ;) SilverChimera

hmm im pretty sure ps2 has sold 145 million units, the ds has sold i think 130 mill, take away the same kid having his parents buy him 5 ds's to keep up with all the iterations of them. most people i know who have a ds, have about 3-4 per household.

LOL, thats not really supporting your case. the dreamcast was good but the ps2 destroyed it and surpassed any release it ever had.
