Poll Which of these modern consoles do you think is the best? (82 votes)

PS2 26%
Xbox 4%

Wii 5%
PS4 15%
XB1 10%
Wii U 1%
Switch 15%

Hey everyone. Hope you're having a lovely Sunday. Tomorrow the sun darkens. Would have been poetic if the eclipse was today. Alas, the universe has no sense of irony.

No Caption Provided

Anyway. I'm defining the "modern era" as the sixth generation onward, mostly because I want this poll to be about the big three (Sony, MS, Nintendo), and MS entered the scene in the sixth gen, sooooooo yeah. Makes sense? You can make cast your vote based on any criteria you wish, or any combination of criteria, such as exclusives, sales, performance, length of relevance, etc. etc. It's up to you. Please feel free to explain your reasoning below! Oh, and I included the Switch, even though it has only just released. I figure some of you (looking @ you, @charizard1605-) might appreciate that. ;)

People were calling the 16-bit era retro before the fifth generation even ended, and now we're calling two generations back modern. That's pretty funny.

That's because of the 2D-3D paradigm shift in the '90s. That was an exception.

PS2 is the clear winner. Well deserved.

Xbox One for sure and the 360 before that. Since high school, I have been playing Xbox with my most of my friends. To this day it's still the platform most of my online buddies play one so that's where I'm at. Plus, I love controller and the online.

A close second would be my Switch, it just helped me servive a long-haul flight. So much fun playing Zelda BoTW at 35,000 feet. :P

The Xbox 360 is my favorite modern console and my #3 favorite console of all time.

I must also say that I have been loving the Nintendo Switch thus far and I think that the Nintendo Switch has the potential to eventually become my new favorite modern console if it continues to be as great as it has been in it's first six months, but it's still too early thus far.

@KBFloYd: lmao, in what delusional mind the 360 destroyed the PS3? The PS3 was more expensive, had one year less in the market, released with a PR disaster and still it managed to outsell and have a higher scoring exclusive library than the 360. If anything, the PS3 had one of the most epic comebacks in video game history.

I’m surprised you bought a PS3 considering your aversion to misleading PR bumfluffery (or a PS2 for that matter).

I was still in high school when the Wii was released. I wouldn't call that 'modern'. lol

My favorite console overall is the GCN.

The Wii U and PS2/3/4 are also great.

Probably the PC. Rather not be restricted to a company making my choices for me when it comes to gaming.
