10. Nintendo Gamecube
Despite the fact that it looked like a purple lunch box, it's hard to hate on Nintendo's Wii-predecessor with its fantastic video game lineup. We blasted TIE Fighters in Rogue Squadron II, pummeled friends senseless in Super Smash Bros. Melee and sailed the high seas in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Gamecube also spurred the release of the wireless Wavebird game pad, one of the best controllers in history.

Well, I read this list, and I must say, I am extremely disappointed. I've never written one of these because I never felt the need, but this list changed my beliefs in the online world. I am almost 16 and having an older brother, I grew up on new and old games alike, I've played threw the NES, to the Xbox 360. I've learned that as games got newer and progressed, they have become less and less challenging, and gameplay has lacked to the point, that it is terrible playing newer style games. New games target people that I never want to become. I'm not saying they are all bad, but most I stay away from. But who wrote this "best systems" list is my real question, was this just one person who decided that they knew what there were talking about? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Sega Genesis yes, Dreamcast no. I had one and despite it's good graphics it cant be rated higher than PSone or 2 nor SNES, NES or Sega Genesis. Xbox 360, please it's not better than the consoles I listed above neither. Secondly if any current gen console makes this list it has to be the Wii. I don't have one nor do I want one but it's the most popular system out. PSone was the #1 system of it's day so was PS2 with the latter being the most sold system of all time surpassing the PSone. NES put gaming back on the map after the crash and took it to new levels. The Genesis Improved upon the NES and the SNES improved upon that. Their place in history is set. How could the #1 system of all time be the #2 system of it's day, I mean isn't that why Xbox didn't make the list. And what about Atari 2600 it was the most popular system of it's day as well. As far as I'm concerned PS2 should be #1, you talk about all the games it has, it came out in 2000 and they're still making games for it now, GameCube is done, Xbox been done, that’s how they got a head start on this generation they quit on their last system after 4 years of life. The orignal Xbox was out from 2001 till 2005, does this mean that Xbox 360 will be out from 2005 till 2009? After 8 years PS2 is still going strong, name another system with that kind of longevity.

how can snes be higher then genesis?
My number one would be the N64. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the greatest game ever created.
All have to say is Wii!!!! It is the best system to date!!
Hey, you can hate on 360 all you want, but you cannot deny that it has amazing graphics, is fun as hell to play, AND the controller is amazing. Mine hasn't broken down on me yet (knock on wood), and I hope it never does. I personally can't wait until Gears 2 launches. Anyway, it's in my top three (at #3), behind the N64 and SNES, respectively. And the Wii didn't make the list, cuz it BLOWS. I don't care how fun it is; it's a gimmick, and that's why people aren't buying them anymore, because they figured that out.
omg i soo missed playing with my chao's on the memory unit that was soo awsome.....i wonder why none of the new systems have anything like that.....and also spending all day and all ***ht playing power stone 1 and 2.....and who could ever forget that long game phantasy star online lol.....no system can compare to this one....it woulda been better if the Dreamcast was number one.....SEGA RULES.....
whattttt gameboy ds? are you kidding? i'd still pick gameboy advance by far
"Yes, it breaks every five minutes" is not a good way to introduce the #1 pick.......... Retards
