The Top 5 Game consoles ever!
Ok so we ramble through this all the time, what is the greatest... if that's the greatest than what the hell does that make this one. So what, we have done it before, we will absolutely do it again. So I will voyage out and attempt this feat. Please note that I have not in fact played every piece of hardware ever made and that this list only reflects the views of the writer.
We will start at the top, because that is all you care about anyways right?
1) THE ATARI 2600!
I know half of you do not even remember the thing so I did the work of wikipedia-ing it. Here
Ok so your probably wondering what I am on by now, that's ok though. I was also am wondering, but I have decided it's for the best. You see, the Atari changed the world! In 1975 Atari released the Atari 2600, possibly the greatest system ever. Here is why I believe it is the greatest sytem ever.
Ok as a child when you were born into the US you were guarenteed two things in life, 1. taxes and 2. The Atari 2600. Everyone had one and a copy of pong. It was great for the games industry, as Atari made money others companies invested. As more and mroe companies got involved the larger the scale of the business and the more likely other companies would par-take. Sure the Atari 2600 didn't have the best games of all time, sure it wasn't the most long term system, and sure it wasn't the most fun to play. Without it though... we probably wouldn't have a games industry anything near what we have. That is why it is the greatest game console ever!
Here is the Rest of my top five with a brief descripition of why!
2) The Nintendo
For obvious reasons the original Nintendo comes in second place and is arguably the greatest console of all time, it had great games and was a load of fun. After ET for Atari it was looking grim in the gaming world, but then came the Nintendo which gave us hope. Please note that ET was also released for the Nintendo.
3) The Sony Playstation 2
Ok this one is a no-brainer. This was probably the easiest console to justify in position, not as important as the Nintendo or Atari 2600 but much more important than the others. Look at the statistics, this thing is shattering... no, obliterating the sales records. The console still sells as good as any other console ,except for the Wii, today.
4) The Sony Playstation
It is getting a little harder now, but this one just seemed to fit. Looking back to the times of the original Playstation there were only a few systems that had ever used CD's at launch.The graphics were above par for its time and due to little competition it succeeded.
5) The Dreamcast
This one is subject to the msot controversy since most of you have never seen one, let alone played it. Short and simple, some of the best games ever and online capability...
So thats it, let the flamming begin. The best game machine is actually the PC in my opinion, especially if you know how to modify the games!
