I agree, the Xbox control pad sucks, and has anyone heard of their latest step in monopolising the console market? They're making smaller control pads (around the same size as PS2 and GC pads)- now thats a rip-off!
Boo Microsoft! Yay PS2! GC is for kids (Super Monkey Balls?)!
> If you put XBox or PS2 you are in my opinion an idiot.
errr... more accurately, you [people who say PS2/Xbox] are simply arrogant to the wider history of gaming. After all, not everyone who plays games has had the pleasure of growing up with Spectrums, and it can hardly be their fault.
It's like the kids today who buy Boyzone records not knowing that half of them are covers of better songs.

As for the question, my answer would be the SNES. Apart from being the first console to really launch massmarket gaming ahead of the PS1, it also hosted the most original gaming age we've had so far.
Strong contenders are the PS1 for making 3D the industry standard and making gaming fully massmarket; the Dreamcast for its original games and internet out-of-the-box; the Gameboy for it's eternal role in the market.

Right, that makes little sense what so ever.
What about all the people that have grown up or got into gaming around the time that PS1, N64 ect all ruled the earth? And never experienced the 16 bit times? Your telling me that whole Generation and mass of people are idiots? I dont think so.

What utter crap. Would love to see you try to complete Secret of Mana or Mario World or Mario Kart (on all cc's) and Zelda etc.. in under two hours at a time for each.
