What's your favorite console for each generation that you've been a part of?

N64 - Mario 64 was my childhood. Loved Banjo-Kazooie, Tony Hawk, Ken Griffey Jr., Mario Kart, Mario Tennis, Goldeneye as well

Xbox - all I was really into was Madden + Halo, so I couldn't have had a better console. I also enjoyed LOTR and JSRF. Controller S ftw!

This gen was tricky, I had both PS3 and Wii, and also caught up on some PS2/GCN/SNES classics. Overall I'd say the Wii got the most use and I had the most fun on it. Although Nazi Zombies and FIFA were a blast that I spent hours and hours on.
But definitely Wii this gen

Since it's only about consoles, it's rather easey, if it would include PC and handhelds, it would be near impossible to answer. So here we go:

Master System - Genesis - Ps1 - Ps2 - Ps3

^ Ps wins for the JRPGs, especially the ones from NIS (or in the Ps1 phase Square) / published by NISA

• Generation 2: Atari 2600 & Intellivision II
• Generation 3: NES & Sega Master System
• Generation 4: SNES & Genesis
• Generation 5: PS & N64
• Generation 6: XBOX & PS2 & GC
• Generation 7: Xbox 360 & PS3

20 years ago, SNES. Then after that, I don't know why I only own Sony consoles from the PS1 to the PS2 now PS3. But, I currently own an Xbox, had the GameCube last gen too.. This gen my first nextgen purchase was my Xbox 360, I sold it and since then I've owned the PS3, soon I'll buy a 360 though.

Can't believe how little love the Neo-Geo and Saturn are getting.

NES, n64, gamecube, PC

I'm not even reading you're paragraph, I'm sure it will be some anti 360 bs like usual.

I can legitimately say I never knew anyone that had a neo-geo back then, and I was the only person in my group of friends and relatives that had a saturn. They were just too expensive, especially the neo-geo, and all the best Saturn games were imports. Now it's no big deal to look up and just order them online, but as a kid in the 90's there was no way I was going to do that, and I'm not too sure if anyone besides diehards would have gone out of their way to get them then either.

On this part of the world the Saturn was practically crap. The Neo Geo was practically the same because of the price and was pointless if you weren't into the arcade world or fighters.

Also for someone that had a chance to choose the systems to have, they didn't had a chance against the SNES/Genesis and PS respectively.

You're lucky. I'd like to get the AES or MVS one day, but I doubt I could ever justify dedicating the time and spending the amount of money to building up a library. Right now, I'm content slowly looking up and deciding which Saturn games I need to get that I missed out on. :P

PS3/360 lets be real here people, there almost exactly the same thing when it comes to the games aside from the few exclusives. Overall though the 360 was a bit better than the Ps3 from 2006-2009, although now the Ps3 has the slight edge.

3rd Gen: NES (I wish I had TurboGraphics-16 and Sega Master System back then :/ , but NES did have the best games so I was happy with that)
4th Gen: SNES (I have both the Genesis and SNES, but SNES had tons of great games so that won out)
5th Gen: PS1 (I hate its load times with a passion, but the sheer number of great games broke my stubborness, I also have a Sega Saturn and N64)
6th Gen: GC (I have Dreamcast and PS2, but GC had a rather large amount of great games, I have more games for PS2 but any multiplat game I perferred on GC for its better load times and frame rates)
7th Gen: PS3 (I also have a Wii, This gen has had very few great games so its kind of sad, but PS3 won by default since the Wii has a mountain of shovelware)

Handhelds

4th Gen: Gameboy (also had gamegear)
5th Gen: Gameboy Color
6th Gen: GBA
7th Gen: PSP (also have DS)
8th Gen: Vita (also have 3DS)

SNES

N64

Gamecube

PS3

I obviously did not include PC.

3rd: NES
4th: SNES
5th: Nintendo 64
6th: Gamecube (but really I've been buying plenty of PS2 games recently so this gen is not over for me yet, but I'll stick to your rules).
7th: Nintendo DS.

Eponique

NES

(I strangely skipped the SNES/Megadrive generation almost entirely.)

Nintendo 64

Gamecube (Xbox is a veeeery close second)

And this gen I only have a Wii and a PC.
