The day a child realizes there's more to videogames than Nintendo, he becomes an adolescent. The day he realizes that Sega was better, he becomes an adult.

It's gotta be Nintendo from me. They've just been more consistent over the long run. Sorry, Tom.

It's such a tough call for me. I love the Genesis and Saturn but I don't know what I'd do without my Nintendo handhelds. Probably just have a lot more time on my hands. I'm going to go SEGA on this one.

Phillips CDi...Phillips CDi...Phillips CDi...PHILLIPS (!!) CDi...Uh oh, kids! Looks like Uncle Balder is on drugs again! Nintendo Phillips CD-i aside, I disagree about the Wii and Wii U. They aren't terrible systems. The Wii had a lot of shovelware, but there are a ton of great titles for it, too. Some of them are from Sega, even. The lack of HD when compared to the other consoles, was a bummer at the time, but in the future when the Wii is a "retro" console, that won't matter anymore. Old is old. The motion controls, which seemed gimmicky before, will be looked back on as unique. It was an interesting system with unique games that can't be played the same way anywhere else. Great local multiplayer, too. The same can be said of the Wii U. Obviously, the library is much smaller. But what's there is solid and you could easily have a complete collection of the entire library with very few duds. Again, the controller is weird, but so is the Dreamcast controller. It's strange stuff like that which gives a console character in my book, not just another PlayBox [model number]. None of which is to say that Sega didn't make great hardware and fantastic games. I've already said before that the Genesis is my second favorite console (after the Game Boy). I wish the Sega of the past still existed today. Unfortunately, I think we can all agree that it doesn't. On the other hand, I'd say that the Nintendo of 30+ years ago is still the same Nintendo of today. If you didn't like them then, you won't like them now. As for me, I did and I still do. Give me a blank Nintendo and a blank Sega game both made in the past decade and ask me to pick one, I'll pick the Nintendo game every time. They're just making better stuff these days. 25 years ago, I would have had a much tougher pick.

Dan E. Kool the CDI was a collaboration between Phillips and Nintendo. Nintendo was originally going to work with Sony but dropped the deal at the last second to work with Phillips. And that ladies and gentlemen is why Dan is an uneducated dumbass and Nintendo sucks at business. EDIT:

Balder doubles down and loses it all. What a shame. It's true that Nintendo and Philips were working together on a CD add-on for the Super Nintendo, but that add-on was never released and it definitely wasn't the CD-i. If the Philips CD-i is a Nintendo console, then so is the original PlayStation. Which of course it isn't.

To clarify, I'm talking about the PS1, not the unreleased (but very cool) Nintendo "Play Station." That would've been a Nintendo system. But what Sony or Philips or anyone else does after they've worked with Nintendo is on them.

Well Sonic is on Nintendo systems so obviously Nintendo won. Sega would had been fine if Xbox never intended to enter the race. If Xbox didn't exist, I'm sure Sega would had found a way to stay around. I consider PlayStation a Nintendo product. The DS4 looks like the perfect evolution from my Super Nintendo controller. What I don't forgive is the death of Arcade culture in the West. It went away with the Dreamcast. It is the biggest lost we ever had in the industry.
