Favourite Console?
Hey everyone!
So, what is your favourite console? A DS Wii PS3 XBOX 360 Tell us guys! |
a ds, wii, ps3 and n64(nothing beats the classics)
|
Dreamcast > SNES >>>>>>>>>> DS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everything else.
Dreamcast was an amazing little system. Quote:
|
Well, the N64 is.
Me, I loved my old DS. Till it broke. Now I have a DSi, and while it's a nice system, my flashcard wont work on that, so I wait till someone can crack it via the SD Card slot so I can do what I used to do. Namely, emulate old games, surf the net, and play my legal backups. It already surfs the net, so I'm good there, but who wants to carry around pockets full of DS cards? XD |
The DS' are all AWESOME! Because they are portable, but then again, so are PSP's!

Quote:
PS3 is up there for me. And you posted it in the wrong section. There is an "Other Games" Section. |
Its technology...So I think it may be even
|
Quote:
PSX would probably be my first choice since I'm a RPG fanatic. SNES, and NES aren't too far behind though. |
I want to find a Game Gear again!
|
the old DS`s rule, new ones im not so fond of, then WII!
|
Quote:
You post in that section often enough. You should know that. |
Well, I think it fits in both sections!
|
Has to be my trusty DS :) You can take it anyway, and it plays so many games :D

And I prefer the ultimate console, the PC. I hate the 360 for an array of reasons (RROD and the "community" to name two), I hate the PS3 because Sony is part of the RIAA (though the system itself is great, especially with the new price tag), and I hate the Wii because it's terrible and the Wiimote is a horrible gimmick (give me a normal controller or a keyboard any day). The PSP has probably less than ten good games, but it's OK for hacking and homebrew and such. The DS has some great games, and the touch screen is tolerable, provided Nintendo doesn't stick their nose in and try and use it for anything other than clicking menus and a few other basic things. As for older consoles, you can probably pick any major one out of a hat and I'll like it. I liked the NES, the SNES, the N64, the GameCube, the PS1 and PS2 (though I still hate Sony), the GameBoy, the GameBoy Color, the GameBoy Advance, the Sega Genesis, the Sega Dreamcast, the Sega GameGear, and the original Xbox. With the exception of the Dreamcast, it was the games that made the systems. Each one had great games for it; the system makers didn't need to do anything except make something that worked right (which somehow Nintendo managed to screw up with the Wii). The Dreamcast was great because it was ahead of its time. It's a lot like some of the current generation systems are today. It's a shame there weren't more games made for it. |
I have to disagree with your view on the Wiimote. As a hobbyist game designer my self, I've messed with it, and it works rather well and has many possibilities. If you remember, when the DS first came out, people thought the touchscreen was a gimmick, but it's proved to be an excellent input device. It even plays games rather well, but I do wonder why the FPS games on the DS are few and far between.
|
Hmmm thinking of what the best console is is quite hard, PC would most likely be my choice just for the fact that PC's are amazing but consoles like the DS are just plain handy for going anywhere, you could be thinking take a laptop but for some reason I just hate laptops.
|
Sega Genesis/ DS/ GBC > SNES >>>>>>>Everything else. I've played the Wii, PS3, PS2, PS, N64, and Dreamcast, but they never really caught on with me like the others.
|
Quote:
And the Wii came out a few years ago. This isn't anything new. Your comparison suggests that the Wiimote is something new; it isn't. I have plenty of Wii games and experience to suggest that it is a failed gimmick. The DS touchscreen was also a gimmick; the difference was that it actually worked in some situations (Mario 64 on DS was an example of how it should not work; Advance Wars: Dual Strike was an example of how it should work). |
You're only... what... one person? So far, the only people I know of who go out of their way to not show me any evidence to support their claims that the Wiimote sucks are those who hate change. Namely, the Sony and Microsoft fanboys. We've had the basic same controller layout since the SNES for all consoles after it (including the N64, you can see similarities), a little bit of change never hurt anything. In fact without change, you get... the XBox 360. Not saying it's a bad system, but you have to admit, little has changed in the XBox line it self other then faster and newer versions of the same hardware. The PS3... that's just a miss match bunch of overpriced Sony brand hardware crammed into a George Foreman Grill. But I digress, I don't want to hear another post on this argument coming from me or you.
I still like the DS though. |
From personal experience with Wii games, developers aren't utilizing the system's control scheme to its best potential... and that was before Wii Motion Plus came out.
EDIT: Oh, and the 360 has good games but lots of hardware issues. Before anyone strikes out at me about said issues, the clerk at my favorite GameStop said he's had his PS3 for longer than his 360... and he's on his 4th 360 and just the other day had to send in his PS3 to get his second one. PS3's main problem is that there haven't been too many good exclusive games in the systems first few years because developers were afraid people wouldn't buy the system with its price tag. It has fantastic hardware and capabilities (even with backwards compatibility removed and several USB ports not present anymore, among other things being removed). Plus it, unlike the 360, has free online gaming... and it's online interface is more powerful and a little easier to navigate for games than the Wii's. |

I could make a similar rant for the 360 or Sony, but you brought up the Wii, so the Wii it was. Quote:

My fave console is the Playstation 2.
For handhelds, the Game Boy Color gave me the most memories. Question this all you want, but consider that its what likely most Pokemon fans played Pokemon on back in the day (or a Game Boy Pocket) and yeah. My first Legend of Zelda experience was also for the Game Boy Color (Oracle of Seasons). Then there is the retro moment of "Card Pop"... |
Wii, NDS, NDSi, PS3,PS2, PS, GC, N64, 360, XBOX, Sega Dream Cast, and SNES
Those are my favorite systems :t353:TG |
I owned a few consoles since i was young
My favourites would have to be:

Quote:

The GCN is my favorite console.
It's probably due to the fact that it's connected to a lot of my memories over my teenage years, which were my favorite years. But really, it was where a lot of Nintendo's franchises were at the top of their game, IMO. Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing for sure. Super Smash Bros. Melee was so great and mind-blowing when I first got it. Brawl never gave me that sensation at all. And Animal Crossing's sequels... Don't even make me go there. Nintendo failed EPICALLY with Animal Crossing City Folk. |
SNES, N64, Gamecube.
I'm a fan boy. Sue me. I think it's just because of the memories I've had with my N64 and Gamecube, due to the amount of hours I've plowed into them. Whilst everyone at school were playing Playstation 1, I was at home injecting some Mario 64 sweetness into my viens. When they went home and played there shiny PS2s, I went home to play some cell-shaded greatness known as Wind Waker. My Snes is relatively new compared to some of my other systems, But I've lready had so much fun with Mario All-Stars, Mario Kart, Super Probotector [Contra III], and my others..I can see why so many people say that it's there favourite system. [jq]Wiimote is a horrible gimmick (give me a normal controller or a keyboard any day)[/jq] http://www.zachbellshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/picard-sigh.jpg It's a little thing called innovation my friend. Sure, I prefer using a joypad, But why keep gaming the way it is when there are so many possibilities? Nintendo have created something that has broadened the gaming market from people "with no life" to everyone. Anyone can pick up a wiimote and have fun, it's not complicated, there's no massive combinations, just simple fun...And guess what? Nintendo have outsold both it's competitors by millions. Something that innovative and successful surely can't be classed as a "gimmick". Also, does anyone actually take in the fact that most good Wii games don't utilise motion controls at all?, that's wide appeal if I've ever seen it. |

Okay, twocows and BenRK, give it a rest. I know you're trying to voice your opinion, twocows, but enough is enough, so just let it go please.
BenRK, quit baiting him by calling him a troll and quit replying altogether. That's your warning for both of you. You people really need to work on your social skills if every thread about consoles erupts into this. It's getting old. |
Super Nintendo
DSi Wii Gamecube |
Dreamcast, Saturn, PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Mega Drive.
|
PS3. By a long shot. For a "mismatch of expensive sony parts in a foreman grill" it works really well, the tilt sensor doesn't interfere with gameplay (just adds nice little bells and whistles really)
The online works really well, it's free, the console itself is sturdy, it has (in my opinion) 3 of the best exclusives this gen, the PSN store is nice and the added media functions are a treat. |
Me = Quite retro player, so my choice is:
Nintendo 64! Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis if you prefer) Game Boy Color And also, maybe not as retro: Nintendo Wii I do not care much about the consoles, but the nostalgia and/or the games. to be honest, I like the retro ones most. |
Quote:
|
My Favorite would have to be the PSP.
|
Favourite from the old skool days would have to be Sega Master System and Mega Drive
As for today, PS3 and Xbox 360 |

I am married to Nintendo, and have been for almost 15 years now. It's a wonderful relationship, though it's gotten sour of late due to the lack of support from my beloved, so I feel as though I might decide to cheat with Microsoft. I mean, Microsoft's so good, it's hard to resist!
Spoiler:

Tough to say. I love how XBox 360 revolutionized online gaming.
But there would be no online gaming if it wasnt for the Sega Dreamcast. But in the end, I'll give it to the console that saved the industry. The NES ftw! |
The Wii, DS, & N64. Greatest games I've ever played were on those three.
|
Oh boy I can't wait to see all the fanboys that starts a giant war here.
Anyways...SNES, SEGA Genesis, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Pocket/Color/Advance/SP, PS2, Xbox360 I know it's a lot, but they're all amazing. I've narrowed it down to those, but I can't choose choose any further. |
The N64
Ahh, the N64. I remember all the afternoons I burned away playing a certain racer. If you said Diddy Kong Racing or Mario Kart 64, you'd be wrong. Snowboarding Kids, too bad Atlas had to screw things up with SBK. They're not even kids anymore. Also, the game itself is pretty bad. |
These are my Favorite consoles.
Newer Consoles - PS3, DS, Gamecube Older Consoles - Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 |

Also, debate does not equal hatred. Debate equals debate. I bought the Wii. I bought games for it (quite a few; I have at least 40 or so). They're all games that were rated highly on Metacritic (most of them are Nintendo games). The ones that are Nintendo games are usually tolerable. The ones that aren't usually either try and fail to put the crappy controller to good use, or simply have you use it like a standard controller. "It works 10x better for FPS." Name one critically or popularly acclaimed FPS that is on the Wii that is not on the PS3 or 360. Better yet, name one good FPS that was released on the PS3/360 and sported an equivalent Wii release. You can't, because the FPSes for Wii are terrible and control horribly, while the ones for PS3/360 usually control very well and are often fun to play. "Developers are all about money" You think Nintendo isn't all about money? "The ones that came out weren't that good" Hard to make something good when the input is a pile of fail. "I really can't see your big problem with the Wiimote...Are you really that lazy that you can't put in the odd shake or wave to make your gameplay a bit more involving..really?" I don't mind moving my hands or whatever to play, if it works. The stylus works. The Sixaxis controller works. Those both use movement, and I love them. The problem is that the Wii controller is a pile of crap that just fails to control well. "Zelda" Good game "Metroid" Good game "Red Steel" Crap game, I have it and it controls miserably. This review sums up my feelings pretty well. Quote:
Recent release, haven't gotten around to trying/buying it yet. "HotD: Overkill" I lol'd. HotD fails so hard, it's actually funny for the first play-through. Then you just hate it. Not to mention nobody actually likes on-rails shooters. "The Final Fantasy Exclusives" Oh yeah, Final Fantasy XIII is really looking to be good, and so is the versus component. Wait, what's that? It's not being released on Wii? Imagine that! What do we Wii owners get, then? "My Life as a King?" I can't believe I spent money on that heaping pile of garbage. Disappointing, to say the least. "Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn" Tolerable game, but not nearly as good as the GBA/DS variants. "Baroque" I can't even believe you mentioned this trash. I tried it once, and it was the worst mistake of my life. Nintendo Power themselves said it best. Quote:
One of the few third party Wii games I actually enjoyed, though it is a bit repetitive (not surprising, since it's Ubisoft). "Opoona" The only great thing about this game is the great amount of mediocrity it entails. So of a non-random sample of games you specifically recommended, we have 2 good first-party games, 1 tolerable first-party game, a good third-party game, something I haven't tried, and five trash games. Wonder what an actual random sample of games would entail? My guess is trash. Normally, I don't complain about the game selection, as that's a low blow to any Nintendo system. Most third-party games for Nintendo systems are trash these days. But you brought it up, so I responded in kind. But hey, if you like the system, don't let me stop you. If you think it's great and spectacular, you keep playing your five good games per year. I'll be over here with the rest of the gaming industry, enjoying the wonderful selection (and GOOD CONTROLS) that the rest of the world has to offer. |
sigh.
[jq]"It works 10x better for FPS." Name one critically or popularly acclaimed FPS that is on the Wii that is not on the PS3 or 360.

Your insane fanboy-ism isn't going to change that fact. [jq]Of course, because I'm the only one who owns a Wii. 53 million is a big number.[/jq]While you're pulling numbers out of your rear, I think I'll join in. I'm sure at least 52.9 million of those people are "casual gamers" who, through no fault of their own, are ruining the gaming industry for the rest of us. [jq]Also, I own a PS3, and I prefer it to my Wii..But, oh look, the controls are no better...They are just different.[/jq]The game with the worst controls that I've played on PS3 still has better controls than the best of the Wii games (this includes first-party games like Galaxy, Zelda, and such). |
*raises hands* I didn't say anything this round.

I'm just going to cut into your conversation with a slight correction.
Quote:
The only involvement Ubisoft had with this game is that they published it in North America. |
My favorite consoles are PS3 and the 360 since they both have fun and great games to play.
|
My favorite consoles of this generation have been the DS and the 360, they have been since the beginning and still are now. The game libraries are pretty amazing for my tastes and XBL is wonderful.
|
As I don't want to waste my time.
All I can really say "twocows" is that, why are you playing these third party games in the first place? of course there are bad 3rd party games that control like crap. It's not the console's fault, it's the developers that can't utilise the Wii properly. Play some good games instead of picking up the games that have a reputation for being awful. |
Wii has brawl, that is enough.

Quote:
|
If the input device wasn't any good, then no games would control well.
|
Just a reminder to keep things level-headed, guys. Watch the tempers and respect others' opinions. :>
|
DS is my favorite hands down, despite it's not really much of a console. I'm always on the run and there is nothing better than a miniature system that can be on the run with me. :)
|
When did the DS become a console?
Uhh... my favourite console of all time would be the Nintendo 64. I had loads of fun playing that as a kid. Between Nintendo and Rare everything was just...awesome. From today? I don't know. I have a 360 and a Wii. I play them both about equally and there's stuff I like and dislike about them both. |
Me, I'm building an HTPC, and when I'm done building it, it will be my favorite game console.
As for the DS being a console, it is a console. They're called Hand Held Game Consoles. Smaller console, but a console none the less. I said console so much that it has lost all meaning. |
I like Wii and Gamecube x]
|
Quote:
I presume you mean you'll have a ton of emulators. Very lame. |
Favorite consoles... I got a bunch of them.
First off... the NES! You can't go wrong with the gray box of fun. I grew up with that thing. I also like... the SNES, PS1, Game Boy Advance SP, N64, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, DS Lite, PSP, Xbox 360 As you can see... I will play ANYTHING! Just as long as they have good games. Along with the NES, the PS1 and PS2 are my all time favorite consoles. |
I have only Wii, so my favorite is Nintendo Wii. (My brother has original XBOX but I don't like it so much). I bought it because I really like it more than XBOX360 or PS3 (have played with all of them many times). Wii has good games like Brawl and Mario Kart Wii, I like Nintendo's games and consoles.
XBOX360 and Playstation 3 are going to make more kind of Wii too (Project Natal and that other on PS), because they saw that Wii is better. Don't get me wrong. XBOX and PS is still good. |
X Box 360. I Like Wii and PS2 also but I favor X Box. Mainly because all the cute guys I know play one.
|
The Xbox 360 and Wii, as they are the ones I own, even though I am sure that the PS3 is a great console. If will made a few games that I would like them to, I would definitely pick up my wii from my bottom draw again though.
|
Quote:
There's a difference between a handheld console and a traditional one. |
I call the portable ones "systems" or "platforms". But whatever. To each his own
|
I like my PS3 most. I own pretty much every console and I seriously think my PS3 is the best. I only ever really play my 360 if I'm going to play Halo online or sometimes Bioshock. My Wii is only used for DBZ BT 3 and occasionally Battle Revolution. My Ps3 is the only console I can play to kill time. It's probably because I have Rock Band and LittleBigPlanet for it but oh well.
Also I'm just going to put this out here but I think that the Wiimote is ----. Not many games work well with it, except all the Wii-Something games and any kind of Mario game (except Kart, can't play it without a GC controller). |
The 360 pretty much. Even though I don't have a PS3, there was a time when I would have voted for that. But lately, I've been finding more and more reasons why I don't like it as much as the 360 lol.
|
Hi buddy
I will go for ps3.If we think about games than now all games support most of all station .So go for PS3 |
ps3 is the best because it has the best graphics
wii is kiddy and 360 makes you pay for online |

Please back it up |

I don't recall actually posting my favorite console. XD;
My favorite would have to be the 360, purely based on the fact that I use it most. I have a Wii, and have played a PS3 and the Wii's been collecting dust for almost six to seven months, while I've been too bothered by the price of the PS3 to run out and get one, but I've been considering it lately for some time. We'll see though. Purple., please stop antagonizing members. Just let people post their opinions. They don't need to back it up. |
I didn't notice his age.
Sorry about that. But I just can't stand the claims that the whole console is kiddy. It has plenty of shovelware...As did PS2..But no one claimed that that was kiddy. I just don't see why people can't look pass the piles of crap that money loving developers induce onto nintendo's console. Not every game on 360 or PS3 is actually good..Oh but it's rated 18, so no one cares. There are so many good games on the Wii + WiiWare and Virtual console support. I just feel like I have to defend it from alot of narrow minded people who loabel it as a gimmick or just for families and kids. |

Wii: 49 Xbox 360 (limited to games released before 2009, since console was released in 2005): 108 PlayStation 3: 106 PS2 (limited to games released before 2004, since console was released in 2000): 156 I'm not going to judge, but the numbers kind of explain themselves. |
Buy those 49 games then; You'll have a whale of a time.
I really don't think that anyone even needs more than 20 games per console anyway. |

As for graphics, it is nice to have something that is bright and colourful instead of all the FPS's with their gun metal grays and so on. Uncharted is pretty. Tales Of Symphonia is beautiful :B |

DS is actually my favourite console. It's easy to pick up and play anywhere and has more games that interest me than the PSP.
As for the main consoles, gotta be 360 for me. My PS3 stays at home so I don't have access to it for most of the year, so I try not to get too attached (and thus buy most games on 360 instead). As for the Wii... um... lol yeah it has like 3 whole games I like on it and even then when I play them I go "damn this would be so much better on the other consoles" so it's just a joke to me. :( But the 360 has a good combination of graphics, nice controller, game selection, etc. I just wish it were quieter and didn't raise the temperature of my room by a few degrees when I play it.

DS for me. Mostly because it's my only game console and I can't afford a home console on my meager college budget. I will say that I've played my brother's Wii when I'm home (we're a Nintendo family) and his selection of games leaves something to be desired.
But yeah, there are two DS games coming out this fall that have my attention so DS remains at the top of my list. |

I have a Wii and a 360 and support both of them. Buy games for both. Play games for both. I could easily not buy or play anymore games for my 360 and say it's collecting dust. It's fine if you like the 360 or it's games better. No problems. I just absolutely hate the "collecting dust" argument that's being thrown around a lot lately. My wishlist of games has a lot more Wii games on it than 360 games. Not even all games that I'd necessarily want to buy, just games that seem interesting to me at all. |

Why should I reword myself when it literally is collecting dust? I own quite a few games for the system, but thanks for revealing that buying games would mean I'd play it more.
I love the games I have for the Wii. I wish I played it more often, but I just don't. :> |
My favorite console is really the PS3. The tiny features are what makes the system great, and unlike Nintendo, they don't actually sell a lot of god-awful games.
and I hate how people are complaining about how little games are available; I'd rather have a handful of good games than a tub filled with one gem in all of the garbage. The wii? it was...meh. The games really aren't that good(excluding the downloadable games) except for maybe Redsteel(I can't say anything on brawl, my wii was one of the few that didn't allow it being played.) And even then, that game was pretty annoying since the motion sensor wasn't as amazing as it was thought to be. |

Probably the N64 or SNES. Those consoles were pretty much my childhood.
|
The NES, SNES or the Genesis. I loved them and the games just can't be beat (no matter how hard you try)
And the Wii , if only for SSBB. |
My favourites would probably be: Wii-PC-DS-SNES
Wii, because I just like alot of the games on it (LoZ:TP, Metroid Prime and Mario Kart to name a few) PC, because it is powerful (at least the good ones are) so can handle large games. Also it means I can surf the net with ease :D DS, lots of good games out there, on the other hand there's lots of shovelware but that's only to be expected and the touch screen works surprisingly well SNES, just because it was the first system I got (and it has Super Mario World on it :D). Now most of the best games are on the Virtual Console, so the wins over all. I also have a PS2 and plenty of games for that and I think that is also a great system. I also play a lot of Xbox 360 (namely CoD: 4) round my friends houses and although it's a great system, I think it's far too focused on FPS games, don't get me wrong I'm always up for a bit of Halo or CoD, but there don't seem to be many games of other genres on it. Unfortunately I've never used a PS3 so I can't pass judgement on that although I've always been put off by the price (It was £500 when it first came out! £500!) |
I say for me its the PC, Ps2 and Nintendo DS
PC - i use it all the time so yh XD (Great for online play also) Ps2 - Loads of great old games for it (will never forget the PS2) Nintendo DS - Great handheld console to travel about with (Also has great games) |
PS2 is so awesome I have five.
|
My DS is my favorite.
I have a Wii but I rarely play it. If I had an Xbox 360 then I'd play it all the time. So, I guess DS>360>Wii>>>>>PS3 |

Consoles and portable consoles come into different categories so I'll say my favourite portable is the DS which was a great success from Nintendo.
I love the N64, that console is so awesome. I love playing it some days to bring back some nostalgic memories.. ^.^ Wii's pretty cool too. |

Because paying more for quality does make the console itself worse. |
