Of course the SNES is number 1. How can anyone be mad at that?


As for the 360...Not even mad. We take it for granted nowadays because just about everyone jocked their innovation but that was a big deal 15 years ago :ehh:

3. Xbox 360 (2005)

The first console of the broadband era, Xbox 360 put online multiplayer functionality at the core of its offering from the very start. Innovations such as Achievements and the Gamer Score turned the global user base into one vast competitive community whether the battleground was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Halo 3 or Forza Horizon. Arguably, this was also the machine that saw the superior versions of epic adventures such as Mass Effect 2, Elder Scrolls V, Bioshock and Read Dead Redemption, ushering in our modern era of mature narrative game design.

360 brought online gaming and MMO to the unwashed masses, ps4 did do anything other than let you stream Netflix and have a big ass hard drive, take it out the top 10.

10. Nintendo Wii (2006)
9. Sega Dreamcast (1998)
8. Nintendo Switch (2017)
7. PlayStation (1994)
6. Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System (1983)
5. PlayStation 4 (2013)
4. Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (1988)
3. Xbox 360 (2005)
2. PlayStation 2 (2000)
1. Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990)

Ill roll my eyes at the Genesis, ill live with it but it should be lower, PS2 should be there at all, I can't think of any achievement PS2 did other than win the generation which matters I guess but what else, take PS2 and PS4 out and replace them with Xbox and N64
Why do you keep talking about achievements? Consoles are ranked mostly for its games, which the PS4 and PS2 did extremely well.

:hhh::scust:

Online gaming brought the decline of single player story driven games, and loot boxes. shyt was the worst thing to ever happen to gaming.

How can X1 and Xbox be ahead of N64 but PS3 behind it all the while 360 is all the way at #3? :patrice:

OG Xbox has one of the worse game line ups ever for a major console. There is no way it could be ahead of N64 or PS3.
Customization & soft modding alone made it better.

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

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:ld:

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

No way the 360 can be above the original playstation lol

That was my only Xbox, but I can’t front like XBL wasn’t a landmark in my life :wow: easily more online hrs than PS2, PS3, PS4, Switch, and any other online consoles I had combined

And yet it’s still not even in my top 3 :russ:
