If it's a list, anything over 20 is too damn much. Really, 10 is enough to 'make a point', if such a point were ever going to be made.

And how the hell is it not trolling if you are trolling a minority? I am offended, good sir.

Do you have the attention span of an epileptic munchkin? Is there any point in making the list of ten? I mean, no matter what combination of titles you're presented with, regardless of whether you've played them or not, they're going to be dismissed, not on their own merits but by virtue of the system they appear.

Trolling, traditionally, is the process of being deliberately contrary to a majority held view, very few people bother to defend the Wii, beyond a few pockets here and there.

The CD-i is pretty bad although it had the only console port of The 7th Guest and it's fairly good. The N-Gage gets lots of hate too even though it haves some great games.

I don't have time to read lists of 50-some-odd items that could have easily been compressed into a much more digestible list. Learn the KISS Principle.

Trolling is nothing more than trying to get an illogical, emotion-fueled response out of someone through any means necessary. Whether it is aimed at one person or one thousand, as long as that is the goal, that is a troll.

Indeed, but then your response would've been: That's not very many games.

Apparently it is the Wii on this site. I guess having 2d platforming and being a console with lots of games satisfying retro gamers isn't good enough

I think too many times it seems that people liking retro games shouldnt like newer games. I just happen to like games from all generations.

To me atleast, the Wii library is fairly poor, and many of the games require atleast some use with the wiimote, which I hate having sit in my hands.

I don't think there's anything wrong with not liking a system, some people just don't like certain things based on whatever. I'm just interested in exploring the line between bias
and proper reason, something we gamers have a sketchy record with.

my favorite would have to be the sega master system since that was my first system as a kid, the N64 was a close 2nd.

Least favorite would be direct download, i hate paying for something i cant really touch, feel or collect.

Ya to me this is how I rank my consoles in order of importance:

1. Game library - as it lines up with my personal preferences (consoles loaded with rpgs? yes please)
2. controller
3. intangibles - save functionality, extras, functionality
4. nostalgic charm
5. reliability
6. Graphical power relative to its era
7. online capability
