Pixel,

Really like my switch. Love Mario, Zelda, retro games, many others, and the portability.

roofuskit,

The one you enjoy most. In my childhood it was NES, SNES, Gameboy. When got older it was the XBOX then the 360. I enjoyed the Wii as a yound adult for the party factor. My kid got gifted a switch from grandparents and we enjoy it as a whole family. We got the kiddo a PS5 last year because they love Spiderman. That works really well and has about every game I’d want to play. I also stream games from my PC to my TV. I’m spoiled for choice, I don’t think any one of them is significantly better than the other. Consoles do have a big price edge these days thanks to GPU price gouging.

I would say the Xbox 360, tho I never really owned one. I feel it was maybe the most polished modern console, the most friendliest, worked offline (obviously), was easy to hack and MS didn’t really made a fuss about it. an x360 was accessible for everyone, even for the less fortunate peeps around here central-eastern and eastern europe. hacked or not, ms had a nice market here and the xbox brand was pretty stable.

The PS2, the og Xbox (though it really was a PC), the Game Cube, Wii, Wii U, and of course the 8 and 16 bit era consoles are also great candidates one by one.

PlayStation 2 due to it’s game library.

NES. Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear (kind of), Dragon Quest, etc.; it was the beginning of many great franchises.

Take your pick between PS2, OG Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, or SNES. I just think those are the consoles with the strongest libraries.

ani,

I had a DVD player and some DVDs came with playable games it was the best.

Actually, the most realistic gaming console is this universe

metallic_substance,

The Ouya, obviously.

yyyesss,

GameCube. Because I have fond memories of it in my childhood. I prefer it over PS2 because it properly supports 4 player games (without any extra gadgets).

Smash Bros. Mario Kart. TimeSplitters. All excellent couch multiplayer games. Even Metroid Prime 2 had quite fun multiplayer.

And Soul Calibur 2 got Link.

The steam deck is a portable pc that looks like a handheld console.

wolfshadowheart,

All consoles are portable PC’s.

PixxlMan,

Nah, a PC is a specific thing, not just any computing device. Most modern consoles are custom architecture and systems. Not PC compatible.

Yes, but most aren’t able to be used like a laptop/desktop PC. You can’t install any software from outside the official repository on a Xbox or Playstation whereas the Steam Deck is just a handheld laptop with Linux as the OS.

stoy,

For me it is the Gamecube, it was the first console I bought new and got invested in.

Mario Kart Double Dash is also the best Mario Kart.

I sold mine way too early, but a decade later I bought a good used one with MK:DD and Bomberman

The gaming console is one you own or the one with the games you want to play. PC is also a good option.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

The only one I ever had for myself was the Wii U. Awesome idea that was never fleshed out.
