    I had a DVD player and some DVDs came with playable games it was the best.

    Actually, the most realistic gaming console is this universe

    Take your pick between PS2, OG Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, or SNES. I just think those are the consoles with the strongest libraries.

    I think I’m in the minority, but PS3. It was the most powerful console of its time, it released The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and a ton of other classics and the PSN was free to use.

    It also had my favorite game of all time on it - Littlebigplanet 2. The custom levels people made were insane.

      I mean, you can’t neglect the prior 2 PlayStation generations. Gran Turismo started on ps1 with the first two, and the next two on PS2. Besides that, great entries like the first three Spyro games, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank… And let’s not forget just home much freaking staying power the PS2 had! Was still getting new games alongside Wii, Xbox 360, even the PS3

        That’s fair about the staying power, but I prefer playing Multiplayer so the PS2 and 1 never hit the same (I did play them a lot as well though - I had the OG Gran Turismo, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, Metal Gear Solid and a bunch of others for PS1, and I had NFS: Underground 2, Gran Turismo: A-Spec, Medal of Honor: Frontline and a bunch of others for PS2 as well). I do respect how well they did, but I really enjoy multiplayer (and the PS2 multiplayer didn’t do it for me)

    Really depends on your definition of best. I think the PS2 and the Xbox 360 were the last great consoles, they’re the best in my book but they obviously aren’t too common anymore.

    The only one I ever had for myself was the Wii U. Awesome idea that was never fleshed out.

    The gaming console is one you own or the one with the games you want to play. PC is also a good option.

    For me it is the Gamecube, it was the first console I bought new and got invested in.

    Mario Kart Double Dash is also the best Mario Kart.

    I sold mine way too early, but a decade later I bought a good used one with MK:DD and Bomberman

    Intellivision because the controller has an insert with labels for what the buttons do for each game.

        Nah, a PC is a specific thing, not just any computing device. Most modern consoles are custom architecture and systems. Not PC compatible.

        Yes, but most aren’t able to be used like a laptop/desktop PC. You can’t install any software from outside the official repository on a Xbox or Playstation whereas the Steam Deck is just a handheld laptop with Linux as the OS.

    GameCube. Because I have fond memories of it in my childhood. I prefer it over PS2 because it properly supports 4 player games (without any extra gadgets).

    Smash Bros. Mario Kart. TimeSplitters. All excellent couch multiplayer games. Even Metroid Prime 2 had quite fun multiplayer.

    And Soul Calibur 2 got Link.
