I don't see why you put GBA on there if you were just going for current consoles. If anything, either put the main 3, or also include DS and PSP.


Also, please give reasons when you post, and not just trolls or fanboyism.

I voted for Gamecube and not because I think it's the best, but because it's my personal favorite and the one I spend most of my time playing. The Gamecube is one of the best consoles to have been made. The only thing that's left to wish for is a flood of more good games.

Amen brother, and when Twilight Princess is released. Nintendo fanboys will rejoice!

I voted for Gamecube as it was the first system I bought and it has the most games ive played. I own all three, and my Wavebird sees the most action.

Well, I´ve always been a fan of Nintendo and their innovative games but I didn´t vote for the gamecube because it´s the best console.

It has most of my favorite games.

I chose Gamecube because I've enjoyed it the most. I've always been biased towards Nintendo though.
I don't think the handhelds belong here. But whatever.

DS.

It's the only thing on that list (save the GBA and SP) that doesn't absolutely blow.

No vote.

I own a Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube (Dreamcast if it counts) and play them all reguraly. I think all of them have there ups and downs, so overall I just like them all.

I don't really count the PSP as a current-gen console because of the future interactivity with the PS3. Its more of a mid-gen consle.

But really, the PSP is the most awsome of the bunch. It really took the portable gaming market, dominated by Nintendo (who else?), and showed everyone that a portable gaming device is much more capable of 32-bit color and overhead-view adventure games.

It was tough... a year ago, I'd have voted for the Gamecube without a second thought. But now, Nintendo's constant reign of terrible choices is making it fall quickly out of my favor... I still voted for it, but future polls may see a different response.

I feel Gamecube was yet another fiasco. I'd specificly like to put a lot of blame on Capcom and their "Capcom 5" project which ended up being more or less a big fuck you to Nintendo.

Hmm... I've enjoyed my Xbox the most (and if younger me could see me saying that, he'd be kicking me), but most games on Xbox that I've liked are available elsewhere; Tony Hawk's Underground/THUG2 are both an all three current-gen consoles, KotOR and KotOR 2 are available for PC, as are Morrowind and Doom 3...

No vote from me.. I play my N64 more than those three anyway.. and computer more than that (Diablo 2 has reclaimed me...). I'm also highly unqualified to comment on handhelds, as all I have is GBA.

Edits: Addendum, and correcting a word choice.

I own 4 systems on the poll, GBA, PS2, GC, and DS. I like playing them all. I use GBA for GB and GBC games only. I play the DS for GBA and DS games and wireless multiplayer pwns. I had the GC since it came out and it brings a lot of memories. PS2 had some of my favorite games like the GTA series and MGS3.

I'll have to think about it before I vote in the poll.

Console wise?
PS2: Big-ass LIbrary, many note worthy games, but most are incredibly hard, or quite rare. Good RPG library!

XBOX: Not many good games, but the ones that are good are really awesome. Halo, Halo 2, Serious Sam, Fable comes to mind... but that's about it. Best graphics, I believe. But big, and clunky.

GC: Medium library, but many of the games are of such awesome quality, you only need a small library, and the games won't make you empty your bank account (and neither will the console). Still, no DVD suppourt. But who cares?

Final Verdict:
XBOX: 3rd place
PS2: 2nd place
GC: 1st Place!

Handheld wise?
DS: Not a huge library, but $129 for the system ain't bad, and the few games that are out there are freakin' great. Kirby's Canvas Curse, Dynasty Warriors DS, Mario Kart DS, Puyo Pop Fever come to mind.

PSP: I paid 300 dollars for about 96(?) bit graphics, a UMD player and a 64MB memory stick? Also, the games aren't all that hot. But it IS getting Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories pretty oon, so that's neat. But that's all.

GBA: With a library like Pokemon RSE/FrLg, SMA (Series), Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Guardian Heroes Advance and the like, The GBA is still going strong with a plethora of awesome fucking games.

PSP: 3rd Place
DS: 1st Place (tie)
GBA: 1st Place (tie)

I voted Gamecube, with PS2 being a CLOSE second. It probably would have gotten first place, if it hadn't been for a multitude of disc read errors. Besides, SSBM and "ZOMG RE4" more than justify it here.

I still say that once Nintendo introduces some kind of backwards compatibility outside of the Gameboy line, they will have a serious powerhouse of a machine on thier hands...

I'm pretty surprised at the GCN rating.

PS2 >>>> GCN.
