PS2 because of how bad it dominated its generation (and is still going somewhat) and N64 has to be the worst in my opinion, GOD THAT ANALOG STICK IS THE DEVIL!



well wii is dominating now,that dont mean it will be the greatest game system of all time or does it?


The Wii isn't dominating the way the PS2 did. And in all fairness the reason the Wii is dominating is because Nintendo went after the family market while the 360 and PS3 went after the hardcore gamers which is a much, much smaller market.

It is. But until they get serious games I won't be counting it for much. :-P 360 > PS3 > Wii, imo. :P

Too many developers don't want to have to try to make it work for the Wii's new controller is the biggest problem.

I would say the reason wii is dominating is because,Of the way u play u actually gotta move your arms or legs to play the game,because the game cube was a family console as well and it didint beat the xbox or the ps2.so it must be the way u play that gots the gamers going nuts

The GameCube wasn't marketed as a family console. It was marketed towards little kids and teens. If they had taken the same approach as they did with the Wii I am sure it would have been more successful. Just being a family console isn't enough. You have to market it as one.

I stopped liking Mario after the NES. The only thing I have liked on a Nintendo system since that was Pokemon (who didn't?) and Advance Wars. Other than that I just haven't really enjoyed any of their stuff. And they created two of the worst controllers of all time with N64 and Gamecube.


The gamecube was the most comfortable controller I've ever used!

Family Gaming is gaming for all ages. From kids to elders. Gamecube was not this. The Gamecube wasn't installed at retirement homes for the old folk could play bowling whenever they wanted to.

And the controller was comfortable to hold but the button layout was horrible.

I'll give you that the button layout sucked... but frankly, I don't find the PS2 or XBox's to be all that much better.

The Xbox controller is awful. Thing was a brick. The 360 Controller is the best. :-P Minimal hand movement need to do anything with it.

I agree the 360 controller is very easy to get attached to possibly the best controller ive used.

I've yet to play a 360, so no comment. But I still say the PS2 controller sucks too. (Again, never played a PS3 if it's any different.)

The PS3 controller (haven't tried the new one yet) is horrible. Waaaay too light and feels very flimsy. And no rumbe. Wtf. Thankfull that was addressed in the new controller.
