I guess my list goes like this: Atari 2600 NES Mega Drive Sega Saturn Dreamcast PC - if that doesn't count, then XBOX 360 PC. None of the current consoles interest me. This is nuch easier with portables: GB GBC GBA DS 3DS I wouldn't count PC since it's not a console and it isn't tied to any generation. |

I'm assuming PC and computer systems like the C64 or the Amiga don't count right? Since they're technically not consoles?
2nd gen: I'm not even going to pretend I played a good number of games from this era, so I'll say it's a split between the Magnavox Odyssey 2 and the Vectrex since they both look interesting. I actually have a Magnavox Odyssey 2 sitting at home but haven't really used it yet.
3rd gen: Master System
Now if I was a reasonable person I'd go with the NES but I've always been curious to see what the Master System is made of.
4th gen: Genesis
I really like the SNES and see them as objectively equal, but the SNES is more focused around genres I'm not particularity fond of like adventure games and JRPGs. Neogeo is a pretty damn good choice too if money isn't a factor, but I'm not familiar with it's library in terms of which games are on the Neogeo and which games are on the Neogeo CD.
5th gen: PS1
It's a tough pick between the Saturn and the PS1, since the Saturn has some exclusives I'm really fond of not to mention excellent arcade ports. I think the fact that I'm a sick individual and actually like Megaman X6 pushes the PS1 over for me. Please don't beat me up Segata Sanshiro.
6th gen: PS2. I love the Dreamcast, hell I like the GC and the Xbox too, but come on.
7th gen: Xbox 360 for the sheer amount of older games ported to it, I wish I had one right now so I could play that Virtual On port. I did like some of the PS3 exclusives though.
8th gen: The Wii U's a piece of garbage while the PS4 and Xbox one are painfully mediocre. I'd rather count russian roulette as a game and play that.

The hypocrisy in this comment is stunning. The R-Zone runs its own games, just a little poorly like the Switch does. And for some reason sales and popularity is important now strato? I thought that shit was unimportant? The WiiU does not excel at anything, because that's subjective right? Damn, that just adds another thing to the list; the WiiU has delusional fanboys. Let's still be friends though. Stop embarrassing yourself by making shit up. Neither the R-Zone runs games as good as the Switch neither I said at any moment that the R-Zone popularity was important. The Wii U is clearly in the minority when it comes to popularity, only selling better in Japan, it does not make it bad. Your mental abilities have clearly been clouded by the obscurity created by emotional identification against Nintendo. Is there a word for that? It is like real fanboyism, except you are a fanboy of hating Nintendo and reality. And yes, of course this is just a friendly discussion. No bad feelings involved. |

winnersdontusedrugs old computers like C64 and ZX Spectrum etc. fit more into a console generation somce they are tied to one, compared to the modern PC with its incremental upgrades (damn the 8.5 gen for doing this) and its not fixed specs.

Nah dude, winnersdontusedrugs got my back. The WiiU sucks. And I feel terrible for the Switch as the WiiU has a more stable version of Zelda. People are ignorant for thinking Nintendo is the best game developer ever made (this is not directed against you, but all of Nintendo's fanboys). It is purely subjective, and I think Nintendo got very few games that I would be interested in compared to how many they've made. |

Amigacd32 is a console though.
And modern PC gaming is console gaming. Come on. Full controller support, plus they even sold PCs as consoles with the Steam controller.

Dan E. Kool Super Mario Bros is one of the interesting games though. Can't beat a classic such as that.

It is purely subjective, and I think Nintendo got very few games that I would be interested in compared to how many they've made. I'm clearing up the inconsistencies on all your arguments. They have absolutely no validation base on reason. They are only opinions. If you are going to hate, own it, and say why you hate it. Real reasons to hate are: - Their games feel disrespectful to my status as an adult - Their games make feel like I'm a little kid living in an adult body, therefore they make me feel immature and inadequate, and I don't like that feeling - It was socially acceptable within my perceived circle to like classic Nintendo, but modern Nintendo is frown upon, so I don't want to feel left out - If I like modern Nintendo I will be part of the fanboys, I don't want to relate myself with them because it is cringe worth it, I don't need reasoning behind it, that's just how it is - Etc. Those are the usual reasons, but I never hear anyone vocalizing them. |

I don't think I can pick favorites for most of the generations. These days picking a console is relatively easy since there aren't so many exclusives. Looking back it seems like it was ALL exclusives. And they're good, too.

Looking back it seems like it was ALL exclusives. And they're good, too. Even multiplats could be individual exclusives. Many such cases! Especially when you take into consideration the blast processing advantages, not to mention the full, rich sound - of a Sega Genesis. |

Those are the usual reasons, by I never hear anyone vocalizing them. Nintendo have so many idiotic decisions since the launch of the Wii that I've lost count. Losing virtually all 3rd party support in just 1 generation in remarkably bad. Also the decision to make the WiiU so weak is embarrassing (these two points are objective). There's not a single game in the WiiU library that would have kept me selling in straight away on Craig's list. |

Not only has he hung on to his He-Man figures well into his Ninja Turtles phase he's managed to keep his Tie Fighter around all this time. But to top it all off - even though he's clearly right handed he keeps his juice box far from the console off to the left. He's also figured out how to use composite inputs to the VCR instead of the RF adapter. Stunning. |
