The Top Consoles of All Time

  • 1. Wii (15%)
  • 2. Xbox 360 (10%)
  • 3. PlayStation 3 (9%)
  • 4. PlayStation 2 (8%)
  • 5. Sega Mega Drive (7%)
  • 6. PlayStation 1 (6.5%)
  • 7. Super Nintendo (6%)
  • 8. Game Boy (5%)
  • 9. N64 (4.5%)
  • 10. Nintendo DS (4%)

Top Five Years for Gaming

1. 1996 (14%): Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 launched. We were singing along to Baddiel and Skinner’s Three Lions and Brit Pop was at its height.

2. 2002 (13%): Halo and Elder Scrolls III on the Xbox and Grand Theft Auto Vice City. BBC 6 Music arrived on our airwaves and Arsenal won the FA Cup.

3. 1991 (12%): Street Fighter II and Super Mario World on SNES and Lemmings was out on the PC. It was the start of the Iraq war and the year Bryan Adams made history when (Everything I Do) I Do It For You entered its 15th successive week at number one.

4. 1985 (11%): Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Donkey Kong Jr on the NES and Ultima IV and Oregon Trail on the PC. It was the year Eastenders went on air and the mullet was considered the most desirable hairstyle for men and women alike.

5. 1980 (10%): Pac-Man and Centipede in the arcade, Space Invaders on the Atari 2600 and Zork on the PC. It was the year John Lennon was shot dead and David Bowie was at number one with Ashes to Ashes.

- Survey of 2,000 GAME customers.

N64 didn't come out here till 1997, so I guess GAME customers are hardcore importers...

I don't understand how the Wii can be the best console and yet not actually be mentioned in the top five years for gaming.

Wii has access to some of the best of the NES, SNES, N64 Master System, Mega Drive, Neo Geo, Turbo Grafx and Commodore 64 back catalogues via the virtual console. It also has full access to the Gamecube's library and the Wii's hugely under-rated software library.

All that considered I don't think its a huge stretch to call it the best console of all time, even if the above reasons probably aren't what your typical GAME voter thought of I wouldn't think.

At least they correctly put the Mega Drive above the Snes.

I had one, but the SNES had grown on my significantly by the end of the generation.

Though to be fair a friend of mine had ALL the best SNES games, so the SNES had something of an advantage.
