Multiplayer??? Is it a nessecity to you? For me a games multiplayer really makes me want to play it. However dull a games 1 player is sometimes it has a multiplayer mode that saves it from the bottom of the drawer.
Is it the same for you??? Or have you actually bought a console in particular just to play a certain games multiplayer?
Take for example the N64 and Dreamcast (may you rest in peace), these consoles stick out at me as the multiplayer consoles at the moment. Not so many people I know would go and buy a Sony console in the hope of some 4 player antics, maybe some of you have, and if so I want to hear why?
It may be the obvious reason that makes me think this, which is the obvious, it doesn't have 4 controller sockets. I think that because of this some people looking for a multiplayer match will not want to have to splash out on a multi tap. I know some people do, but the majority of us won't want to have to pay out again.
This for me puts the N64 and Dreamcast in pole position in the multiplayer stakes. Another good reason for this is the type of games that are released on each format.
Take the N64 and then name some of the great, memorable multiplayer games it has. Not hard is it? Now do this for the Dreamcast, again not very hard. But now try it for the Ps, for me it is very hard. Only a few names spring to mind.
So here are my reasons for thinking that the N64 and Dreamcast are more multiplayer orientated in there games and the way the console is based.

I think playing multiplayer accross the Internet was a big step forward in technology......
Some games can be fun to play on your own on a rainy day, but you can feel iscolated from the world sometimes, which is why playing other people across the Internet solves that problem.
