    Are we supposed to judge consoles strictly from a hardware standpoint or do you take into account how much said console influenced the industry, what games it had, the marketing and visual language of it all, how much you liked the controller and the overall design of the console itself?

    E.g. most of my favorite games of all time are available on #Xbox 360 and although it has the most comfortable controller ever made, the console itself is one unreliable, clunky piece of shit. So should I still rank it as my favorite console ? I think so.

      Editing … I guess it would a bit of everything. In the end, that would be up to you though.

      Editing … The sexiest console I ever owned is definitely the #PlayStation 1, can't believe she's (yes, my consoles have genders) almost 20 years old already :-/

      Editing … It's called "favorite gaming system". I don't see why influence on the industry should matter that much. "Favorite" is more of a personal thing imo.

      Editing … For me it's Playstation 2 for how awesome it was for its time and Playstation 3 for what's best at the moment, mainly I'm thinking about the games on those systems when I say that. I'd actually say Xbox One has the best controller (360 has a great controller but the d-pad's awful and recharging isn't standard) but besides that I'm not a fan and from what I've heard Playstation 4 has the best specs but obviously it hasn't had enough great games yet to be a great console.

      Editing … Amount of good games is the biggest factor for me, particularly good exclusives.

      Editing … For me it's mostly games available and after that how comfortable it is to use. Design maybe matters a tiny bit but everything else I don't care about. Though in this case I personally wouldn't rank 360 because hardware wise it is so damned unreliable and I went through so many of the things that it actively effected my enjoyment of it.

      Editing … I'd say just reflect on your experience with the games of the system.
