What really is the best console?

Vote in the poll and then explain why you chose what you did and explain why you didnt choose the others.

Help me find the ultimate console.

---

I am going to have to say Xbox 360.
Why?
Well, it is the cheapest out of the new consoles and sure its not as good as Ps3 but i just cant afford it.
Wii is basiclly the same price but it is hardlly a gaming console it is more a family entertainment center.
Xbox and Ps2 are good but not good enough.
And as for pc, theresa just to much time and money that needs to be put into upgrading to keep up with the games.

I grew up with Playstation and PS2 so I will go PS2 only because it holds my favorite game series on it... .HACKGU! Plus for its time it was the best console around.

While the PS2 was awesome for it's time, Xbox Live is just too good to put down at the moment so I had to vote for the 360..

Xbox Live for the win. (i.e XBox 360)..

I've never actually OWNED a PS2.. I've borrowed one, and enjoyed what games I played on it.. But for starters, I'm not fond of the controllers..

Current gen - Xbox 360 for sure. Wii is fun, but there isn't much to keep me interested. PS3's are cool, but I don't need a bluray player, and most of its exclusives aren't for me (GoW3 being the only exception).

Last gen - PS2. It just led the market pretty much.

But my all time favorite would have to be the SNES because I grew up with it. I bought 3 total games on that console (Kirby's Dreamland 3, Super Mario World, and Street Fighter 2 Turbo) and only borrowed Mega Man X, so really got to play the games to the fullest.

I am a retro gamer but I grew up when SNES was the best but I love playing games I played when I was litte. I own a SNES, N64, PS2, PC, and XB360. I am getting a Free PS3 from my friend because he hates it so I get to play MGS4 :D

But it all fairness its a tie between PS2 and XB360 because I am still a teen so I can't really say retro gaming but I do love but I say PS2 is kinda old because look at what the world has evolved into. Look at freakin Mirrors Edge and Gears 2. Amazing Graphics, but on the other hand I have never played a game that has the amazing story that PS2 has.

PS2 > XB360 > N64 > SNES

I voted PC. I really enjoy my Xbox 360, loved my PlayStation 1 & 2, but the PC is the real winner. Free online (unless you play WoW-crack), infinite library of games, the best graphics (yeah it costs some money but hey), and the mouse and keyboard in addition to pretty much all the same input methods of consoles. I may own a few FPS's for the 360, but it annoys the crap out of me that I can't plug in a USB mouse and keyboard to play. It really wouldn't hurt anybody, especially if Microsoft programmed something in to let you map Xbox specific buttons to the mouse/keyboard. Clicking the mouse wheel could be the guide button. It's genius! Maybe with the next Xbox (which I probably will use the money I would have purchased it with to buy a beefy PC to play the next Crysis).

i didnt think pc was considered a console... lol. but i chose pc out of those. but my if its personal opinion then i would have to say either genesis or dreamcast.

I can't answer because it is not on the list. My choice would have been NES. 800+ retro games, heck yeah.

@ Side_Scroll'R - It's more of a "What's the best gaming platform" thread I'm assuming...

PC gaming is fun at times.. However I've never really gotten that into it... Gimme a 360 controller any day and I'm happy.
