Top 10 games consoles of all time
Hardware to hammer for your gaming fun
David Neal
V3.co.uk, 17 Apr 2010
Gaming consoles hit the streets in the mid-1970s, and have developed alongside the personal computer ever since.

In previous Top 10s for computer, console and arcade games, many readers asked for a list of consoles.

All lists are subjective. I don't care. This is my list of the top 10 consoles, not yours. It is based on personal experience, games played and hours lost.

10. PlayStation 3
A sleek, black Blu-ray player with a 120GB hard drive and rechargeable controllers. What's not to like? It may have stuttered with its Home project, and could fail to set anything alight with its Move controllers - except the knob at the end of them - but the PS3 is a good console. It's a shame it looks destined to live in its little brother's shadow.

9. PlayStation 2
Although the Grand Theft Auto series appeared on its earlier brother, the game made its bones on the PlayStation 2. GTA San Andreas and Vice City are still the benchmarks by which all other free-roaming/mission-based crime sagas are judged, and the PS2 is equally well remembered. A massively hyped release, the PS2 impressed straight out of the box, bringing with it a slew of quality games.

8. Neo Geo
Released by SNK in the early 1990s to games fans with a lot of leisure time and money, the Neo Geo offered far superior graphics to its 16-bit counterparts, giving the much-sought after 'almost-arcade' quality to home gaming. Much pricier than the competition, the Neo Geo was to be played at other people's houses when King of Fighters 4 was the finger-callus-causer of choice.

7. Nintendo Gameboy
Released in 1990 and exploding onto the world with its monochrome falling blocks game called Tetris, the Gameboy was a bulky two-button affair. Boring to look at, it took on, and smashed to pieces, the flashier Sega Gamegear, which had a colour screen and hardly any decent games.

6. Super Nintendo System
Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart. Shall I continue? Like the MegaDrive the SNES arrived at a time when today's 30-something big spenders were finding their bones on home consoles. Often, like a single duvet, accompanying them to university, until they got a double bed, and the PlayStation was released. A classic games machine, and the biggest seller of the 16-bit lot.

5. Nintendo Wii
Needs no introduction. Even grandmothers know what the Wii is. They may swing the nunchuck around wildly, but the idea, that the game follows the motions you make in real life, is a lot easier to grasp than the alternatives. Just remember to use the wrist strap. The Wii marries gaming with family fun. Everyone should have one.

4. Nintendo DS
When even your mum has a games console, albeit a handheld one, you know it is worth paying attention to. The puzzle happy, e-book wannabee, dual touch-screen, brain training DS is a phenomenon. It has sold over 125 million units. In terms of sales, it is the Dan Brown of consoles, mind-bending and ubiquitous.

3. Xbox 360
Should be number two really, except for one thing: why does it have to be so loud? Having an Xbox is like having a hamster in a ball constantly scuttling about on a wooden floor. Only instead of a hamster it's a cow chasing an elephant around in a speaker. The Xbox 360 has great games and by far the best online experience, with Live making the PlayStation and Wii equivalents looks dead. Not to mention the Halo series, which is the jam in Live's exquisite doughnut.

2. PlayStation 1
It is difficult to explain just how exciting the release of the PlayStation was. If you weren't there and didn't play time-consuming titles like Wipeout 2097 or the Tony Hawks and Resident Evil series, not to mention Parappa the Rapper, which is the best game ever, you might as well just move on. And I haven't even mentioned Tekken, Battle Arena Toshinden or Ridge.

1. Sega Mega Drive
Sonic 3D, Mortal Kombat, Fifa 94. I could go on, but it would start to seem that I have classic games Tourette's. Given to me one Christmas, the Mega Drive was my teenage years. I should probably hate it, but instead I still play it. Take that, first girlfriend!

I do consider his choices questionable but I do like the fact that the 360 is pretty high up *cough above PS3 cough*. The man I want to hear from about this is Shiv

Well I don't see how Sega Mega Drive is #1, it shouldn't be on the list. IMO the PS2 should be #1

This guy simply stuck in nostalgic days (#1). His reasoning for PS3 as #10 is plain dumb.
Yes he likes his classics but clearly he ain't been playing the gems of this generation.
His reasoning for 360..the loudness? wtf..
As for PS2 the reasoning he put @ #9 clearly deserves a higher rank in the list.
But bleh whatever its his list...
Everyone should reply with their own personal lists of fave consoles and a summary why, as simply commenting on someone's list is just dull.


Mine would be rather short cuz I didn't own all those consoles but here goes:

1.) PS3 - First entrance into online gaming. Only multiplayer before was splitscreen/multi-controller on PS2, LAN on PC, linkcable on gameboy lol. It was fresh. new HD era of games. Lots of fave games Heavenly Sword, Call of Duty, Killzone 2, Uncharted series, MGS4, LBP etc..etc..

2.) Xbox 360 - If I owned one it would definitely fit in somewhere about here on the list. People think I'm solely a playstation fanboy, while as much as I exhibit it..I do follow Xbox 360 coverage and I know for sure I'd love the exclusives on the platform and the online capabilities. Alot would say 360 would be my number 1 if I had it before PS3...That maybe true, having a ps3 first and loving it that much will put any 360 gotten today in second place anyway hehe.

3.) PS2 - Not much to say here...Pretty much everyone has experienced PS2. I played tonnes of games on it..sadly missed out alot of gems that simply didn't appeal back in the day.

4.) GBA - Gotta catch em all...nuff said.

5.) PSP - PSP has tonnes of great games... Portable online play is fresh. Loved games like Loco Roco, Ace COmbat X, Tekken, Star Wars battlefront, patapon etc... But when I look back the lure of Pokemon and Mario Kart among other games on GBA does surpass psp in the nostalgic kinda way.

i agree. ps2 was the best. i do agree that the 360 should be higher than the ps3 but i think the snes should be above both

I think the NES should be on that list. I've had too much fun on that console when growing up.
