The 25 greatest video game consoles – ranked!


Good list I think. Some might say the Xbox 360 is a bit too high but that console introduced a lot of innovations in gaming. What y’all think?

 

[Diondon]

lol the PS4 is easily better than the 360

 

[StatUS]

I'd put the Ouya over the Jaguar and 3DO

 

[Brandeezy]

360 at #3?

 

[Rekkapryde]

360 way too high.

 

[Fatboi1]

360 too high

 

[nairdas]

360 too high. Original playstation, PS4, and Dreamcast are all better. I might even put the Sega Genesis over it too.

 

[NoMorePie]

How disrespectful must you be to put the xbox one ahead of the n64

 

[DaSk8D00D]

That top 3 is on point yall need to stop fronting on the 360

In my opinion the N64 should be higher on the list though, above the other XBox's and arguably the Dreamcast as well. I'd also consider putting the PS2 over the SNES

 

[Rice N Beans]

360 being high has to be off the refinement of Xbox Live. Can't be anything else.

 

[Mike809]

No way the 360 can be above the original playstation lol

 

[Batsute]

32X and Sega CD had more influence than the jaguar and 3DO. Then they not even counting handhelds.

List is basically what consoles his parents bought him in order.

I remember asking my mom for a PlayStation for Christmas as a young breh. I even pointed it out in the KB Toys and everything. I was hype. Christmas came I run down stairs and what do I see. A damn 3DO with Way of the Warrior

Honestly surprised that they didn't overrate the Wii. It is easily the most overrated console of all time. The Wii U was a failure but as a gamer, the Wii's lineup wasn't that much better. The only real difference is that the Wii had the support of casuals. I would have ranked it lower then they had it.

Also, I'm going to assume this is just a home console list since Nintendo's handhelds aren't ranked and obviously should have been ranked here otherwise.

N64 is so low on this list that I doubt the authors credibility
