The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The specs on paper do tend to lean towards the "Next Generation" console being the more powerful than the Atari, but they have made this up in may ways, Atari were the first of the bunch to use analogue controllers, they have not opted for any strange medium like a mini DVD or cartridge, and haven't gone for CD's/DVD that can be copied, instead they have opted for a switch, to choose from the 10 available games, which don't cost anything.
Looking at these consoles, and having played on them I conclude that the Atari pong is the best console around, it may not be powerful, it may not have more textures and colours than you can shake a stick at, in fact it has little more than a bat and a ball (wot is square).
So what makes a console good? well I believe that it has little to do with its stats (36-28-34 would be good) but more the playability of the games on them and an individuals taste. You can have the processing power of a small alien planet and still the games could still be pants.
I couldn't care less about what my console can do on paper, I just care about if I enjoy the games I play on them, and these enjoyable games include PONG.
I conclude that arguing about which console is better is much like arguing about which car is faster when you have no fuel to put in them.
Buy which ever console you want, just make sure its one that has the games you'll enjoy.
