Favourite Console

So what's your favourite console and why?


For me it's the original PlayStation, it's what really turned me into a gamer.
I've always loved games and it was really hard for me to pick the PlayStation over the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis). 

However, the jump from 16-bit to 3D graphics was truly insane, I doubt we'll ever see as big of a shift as we did during that era. 

For better or worse, it also had a thriving piracy scene. A scene which I wrote an article about here. Which on the surface sounds awful, but I actually believe it helped gaming in the long run.

I think I have to go with the SNES, it was a big part of my childhood. I love the sprites and music of that generation.


I still play the same SNES console these days that I had then!

Mine would have to be the Wii, because that's the one I grew up with the most, and the one I have the most fond memories of!

As of today I'd propably say the psp due to the usage I'm giving it lately. But when putting more thought to it the ps3 has given me the best gaming experiences in my life. Back then we only had the one console and would all take turns playing little big planet and singstar. Good memories indeed.
