Japanese gamers have decided upon the greatest consoles in the history of gaming; no doubt a topic that will generate a lot of contention, especially since the list contains only two console manufacturers.
1. Sony PlayStation 2 (236 votes)
2. Nintendo Super Famicom (208 votes)
3. Nintendo 3DS (129 votes)
4. Nintendo DS (128 votes)
5. Nintendo Wii (114 votes)
6. Nintendo 64 (86 votes)
=7. Sony PlayStation (84 votes)
=7. New Nintendo 3DS (84 votes)
9. Nintendo Famicom (65 votes)
10. Nintendo Switch (58 votes)
playstation 1 lower than n64.
That is when you know this list is skewed.
The n64 is notorious for being a piece of s♥♥t that nobody wanted to make games for. From the technical aspects to the cartridges which where a big ole “Are you fucking kidding us…? Are you sure you don’t want to use floppy disks since that’s just as stupid…”
its also notorious for good times
Amen.
And the New Nintendo 3DS and it’s like 5 exclusives do not warranted an entire slot to itself. This list is trash.
Only by 2 votes so N64 barely won out over the PS1
The N64 was more powerful and it didn’t have any load times, which are big pluses.
N64 had no gaems
N64 had a TON of games. Just not a ton of JRPGs.
PS1 games were infinitely better than anything on N64
If you didn’t fall asleep between the load times but they were non-existent back in those days.
No Sega machines, really? I guess the people being polled were too young to own a Dreamcast, Saturn, Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System.
SEGA consoles weren’t as popular in Japan as any of the Nintendo systems. In the West yeah, but not Japan.
You’re thinking of the Genesis/Mega Drive which was a big hit in the west but not Japan. The Sega Dreamcast and especially the Saturn on the other hand were incredibly popular in Japan.
Saturn & Dreamcast were moderately popular for the 2D arcade crowd in Japan, but everyone else had migrated to the Playstation systems.
why are you applying logic to an opinion list
There are sega consoles. Just not in top 10. Check the link for full list if you are interested.
I can’t but wonder if the excessive mentions of “Nintendo 3DS models” meant that the polling age was very young. I think anyone in their late 20s/30s onwards would at least have some knowledge of Sega machines. And wouldn’t be so inclined to select a 1000 different 3ds models above them.
I mean you only have to see how the “New Nintendo 3DS” only has a small number of games that take advantage of the hardware. But apparently that means its better than every Sega machine released lol.
but not too young for famicon? 😀 just how much retarded self-proclaimed elitist are you?)
… well, at least they got the PS2 right
The winner goes to Nintendo.
new 3ds and 3ds? wtf. well other than that i think its an okay list
Definitely ps2 was one of the best consoles. One with the best game library out there.
