Gaf,

Let's say you can only play one system for the rest of your life. We have had great systems, and I would say that is a tough call, but If I have to pick one, I would definitely pick the playstation 2.

What a beast! Great and memorable games.
SNES would be my 2nd pick!

Which one would you pick?

PS: No emulation is allowed,so only pick PC if you are talking about its own games.

 

[5taquitos]

PC

 

[super-famicom]

PC

 

[purseowner]

Gamecube

 

[Death Insurance]

PC

But if you mean strictly gaming consoles, XBOX 360.
The library was perfect for me.

 

[Kamina]

If PC counts then PC.
Otherwise Nintendo Switch

Why would you pick a PS2 over a BC PS3?

PC is the correct answer.

 

[Stig_92]

PC (running emulators of x console I feel like playing)

 

[Spades]

My heart says Dreamcast but my head says 360.

 

[FerroN91]

I believe the obvious correct answer is PS2.

 

[iconoclast]

360 because it has the best shooting and action games.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

Why would you pick a PS2 over a BC PS3?

PC is the correct answer.

humm, you have a point..

 

[BroBot]

Original 60 Gb PlayStation 3. Backwards compatible with PS1 and 2 games. Let's go.

 

[Tagyhag]

PC, even if I couldn't use emulators there's decades of gaming to play and it will continue to get new releases.

If PC is cheating I'd say...PS3 with hardware BC.

As long as it doesn't break.

 

[RockmanBN]

PC without a doubt.

 

[DD]

PC.

 

[Salty Rice]

Playstation FX3

 

[FloatOn]

SNES

 

[Kangi]

PC. I mean, obviously.

Steam could keep me busy for the rest of my life.

 

[womp]

Easy. Game Boy.

 

[FonkyByNature]

PlayStation 2.

Huge variety and library of games to play that need 4 lives to complete.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

PC if that counts as long as it continues to able to be upgraded. If not then an original BC PS3 the 20GB one that didn't have as many problems with emulation like the bigger capacity ones did.

 

[HylianTom]

I am shocked to say this.. the Wii U.

I can play most Zelda games on it.

 

[emilioasis]

Dreamcast

 

[DMONKUMA]

PC no question.

 

[schlynch]

PC...

... is there really any competition?

 

[Fredrik]

Obviously PC since it's constantly evolving and has emulators for consoles and just gets more and more popular with more love from the devs.

Edit: Still PC after the updated rules to not allow emulators. No contest.

 

[Jonneh3003]

SNES or Dreamcast. Emulating games sucks the enjoyment out for some reason so I wouldn't go with PC.

Probably Dreamcast, there are some many DC games I could play again and again.

 

[Khrno]

PC, thanks.

 

[Ivellios]

[yukimeans_snow]

Not counting PC

- PS2

 

[FTF]

Original 60 Gb PlayStation 3. Backwards compatible with PS1 and 2 games. Let's go.

Yup, this is the answer.

 

[You Pay This Much]

Pc is an obvious answer, unless that is excluded. Emulation is the answer.

 

[Transistor]

PC is the real answer

If I can only pick consoles, though, I'd pick a 60gig BC PS3

 

[Kareha]

PC

 

[LegalEagleMike]

PC is the only sane answer.

 

[kunonabi]

Are we talking desert island or just normal living conditions?

The contenders for me are Dreamcast, Wii, and PS2 but I need to be clear about the scenario. Is it possible to have multiple units of the one console as in having a US Wii and a Japanese Wii?

 

[oneida]

360

Spoiler

PC

 

[2+2=5]

PC, i mean a console will eventually die and stop getting games, pc not only will always get games but it can even emulate consoles, so is there really any other answer?

 

[sol740]

PC is the only sane answer.

Heard it hear first folks, choose sanity.

 

[2blackcats]

PC is a no brainier.

Leaving out PC it would have to be PS4. Best overall game library.

 

[Luminaire]

Like everyone else says, PC.

If excluded, BC PS3 due to PS1 and PS2 BC.

 

[Piscus]

SNES, hands down.

 

[UpperCaseN]

I assume you're excluding PC and other emulation capable devices. My pick: 360

 

[Herp Derpington]

Well as I plan on living for awhile I'd say PC. More games available than I'd be able to ever play. If we're talking strictly consoles though I'd say the 360. Such a great library of both AAA, XBLA, and Indies. HD, surround sound, and the best network for consoles. Pretty easy choice tbh.

 

[GodofWine]

As a long time 'Console Only', Im going with PC.

PC aside - Xbox (Im not limiting it to '360' or 'one', Im picking the ecosystem), I think at some point MS is going to buy/muscle/wrestle their way to the top (and PC is part of this). Its already started with their Minecraft powerplay on Sony. They just kneecapped Sony by stealing the 'everyone under 12' market.

Up until that move, I'd have said Playstation (as its all I've ever owned up until I added a gaming PC 2 months ago), but MS's minecraft move is bigger than it looks.

 

[13ruce]

The one that has the most Zelda + Pokemon and Mario + Metroid games available since i can replay those forever.

 

[Kolibri]

N64. Because it's fucking great.
