Gaming systems

[Djmatchu]

What do you think the best gaming system is out there???

 

[Lithium Hobo]

Of all time? The Super Nintendo. Of the current 3 models in the console wars, the Xbox. Out of just power. And game library? Yes, that makes it own as well.

 

[Dead_Bloke]

The PC, because I prefer mouse-and-keyboard to joypad, and more options.

 

[MusicalProgrammer]

I'll go with PC.

If you're talking strictly consoles, then whatever platforms the majority of the Final Fantasy series has graced. (NES->SNES->PSX->PS2)

 

[steverock]

i agree with PC but out of consoles id have to say PS2. quality games, quality controllers, quality console.

 

[JimmyKoKoPop]

The NES is the best system available today.

 

[Phatbowser]

I would have to say XBox. Although, I own a Gamecube.

 

[SOLDOUT4HIM]

PS2. I really have enjoyed some of the games out for it.

Oh, and BTW, Jimmy you're crazy for your last post.

The X-box is the best console for right now. They have already started planning the PS3 and the X-Box 2 though. If you are looking to buy a console new you may want to wait until one of these comes out.

 

[WhirlwindMonk]

PC, definately. Current consoles, PS2 simply because it has more games that I like than X-Box does. xb has too many FPS's and sports games and not enough RPGs.

PC always has higher quality graphics and more selection of games. Other than that I'd go with Xbox for it's simplicity and affordability as far as the Xbox unit goes. PC may cost more but you get better performance and games are often less expensive. You also have more longevity with PC games since they are easy to update and expand upon.

Ditto, although I prefer the joystick for flying and vehicle missions and games (I've got a Microsoft Side Winder - no force feedback though ). A Xbox is just a mini computer when it comes down to it. You must buy a new gaming console for improved performance, while you can simply upgrade the specific part for the computer. They say that as soon as you've brought a piece of computer technology it's already out of date...

I'll add another vote for the PC.

 

[Nai]

I like portable gaming, so i'd have to say PSP or DS.

 

[Smidlee]

My favorite of all consoles was PS. While PS2 is a close second (love Dynasty warriors) yet it seem to have less variety than PS. This probably because of the cost. Bill Gate claims the next generation systems will even cost more to produce. I'm always more of a PC gamer even back in the C64 days.

 

[MJ_Avalanche]

The NES is the best system available today.

I'll second that.

There are certain genres which are almost completely absent from PCs. Mostly ones that play best away from a desk and with a gamepad, not surprisingly... Platformers, Japanese RPGs and action RPGs, fighting games, etc.

I actually disagree. I prefer a keyboard to a controller in any game that does not require more than two axis of movement (flight sims are aweful w/ a keyboard). And I would much rather be able to play all my favorite games on the same thing I do my homework on, check my email on, etc. because it's so much easier just having one machine that does everything.
