Date: November 30th, 2025 3:28 PM Author: goy orbison I guess sony did with ps1 and ps2 but Imo Dreamcast was better and was sabotaged. Original Xbox was also better. But PS2 could play dvd movies
Nes Sega Genesis Ps1 Ps2 Xbox 360 Switch Ps5 - no games but plays blu ray |
Date: November 30th, 2025 3:32 PM Author: SneakersSO SNES won its Gen by a lot globally and even in the US it probably won too. Sega was disreputable and scummy so you can’t trust their numbers.
PS3/Xbox, I don’t feel like hearing from doodikoff again. But iirc 360 had No Games after like 2009.
PS5 plays 4k blu ray. PS4 is the only gen with literally no innovation in terms of the game disc format. |

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:41 PM Author: \"''''"\\'"\'\"\'"\' Nintendo, won NES -> SNES. If you consider the N64 to have won the Gen retroactively, then they have won 3 times in a row. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472390) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:43 PM Author: goy orbison N64 was better imo but had no games (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472398) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:54 PM Author: SneakersSO This is true and it’s paradoxical af. Like actually just having nothing to play is better than Syphon Filter. Let alone a trilogy or pentalogy or whatever. Same for Tomb Raider.
Meanwhile, ocarina of time, jfc what an experience. Nothing in the same vein really topped it. At best its successors are The Same. |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:02 PM Author: goy orbison When we go on family ski trips or visit each other for christmas or whatever nobody is pulling the ps1 out. But we always have an n64 to play smash bros, mario kart, nfl blitz, etc. It won my gen IMO. it was the last bastion of local multiplayer. It was a white family console not a losery jrpg machine (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472453) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:06 PM Author: SneakersSO The Losery JRPGs were fine except FF8 but yeah somehow the experience so many of us had didn’t translate to the internet where units shipped is really, really important….

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:59 PM Author: SneakersSO Like why does it even matter than there’s Dino Crisis and parasite eve and tomb raider pentalogy if OOT exists? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472442) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:11 PM Author: goy orbison I prefer genesis to SNES. SNES had games like Home Alone & Goof Troop while we were playing edgy Mature games like Contra Hard Corps on genesis (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472492) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:18 PM Author: SneakersSO Sega Consoles excel when you know how to Curate. Nintendo consoles, everyone knows the 15 best games. Somehow they all know. Nobody has heard of some of the most badass Genesis games
The Genesis I lived: Sonic, mortal Kombat, Aladdin, stolen copies of X-men, NHL, stolen 32x which was used to play Genesis (non 32x) games.
Curated Genesis/CD/32X: Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Contra, Castlevania, Snatcher, Dark Wizard, Phantasy Star IV, Darxide, Kolibri, Star Wars Arcade, Tempo, Chaotix, Thunder Force IV, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Corpse Killer
SNES: everybody knows the fuckin games. Totally different situation. |

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:43 PM Author: SneakersSO Sony Swiftboated every other console from 1995-2004. N64 got accused of having No Games like 3 months after release by next generation magazine. They skewered Howard Lincoln With Sega all of their failures were portrayed as fucking EPIC. We act like 32x was devastating. That’s not how shit worked back then. By the time you had heard about it it was in the bargain bin. No one wasted $180 on 32x and felt betrayed. The smear campaign was all Sony’s doing. Meanwhile when others failed they could sweep it under the rug. Virtual Boy — nbd. Philips CDI — who cares. If Sega had released Super Scope 6 they’d have been raked over the coals for the next decade. And they were smart bc they waited a year to release Dreamcast in the west. It had so many fuckin’ games on release which totally dissipated the negative brand equity. That’s what happened irl. But then Fight Club came out on dvd…. |

Date: November 30th, 2025 3:56 PM Author: SneakersSO PS4 and PS5 fits the bill imo. Switch won the handheld gen or is PS3.5 gen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472436) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:05 PM Author: SneakersSO But like, 3DS doesn’t exist. Is GBA a Hybrid Console bc of the game boy player on the Gamecube? Same Thing…. Did GBA win the gen? Second Place behind PS2? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472465) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:07 PM Author: goy orbison 3ds was a huge flop initially but later became a masterpiece. I have almost the full 3ds library and some of the games are worth hundreds each. Handhelds are separate but Switch 1 was a console. Despite me never hooking it to a TV
Handhelds have their own gens. I could elaborate on them. Nintendo won every handheld gen though. |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:10 PM Author: SneakersSO Mine is always hooked up to the tv afaik. Smash is serious business. I play it in handheld sometimes but it’s not like I take a Subway. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472490) |

Date: November 30th, 2025 4:11 PM Author: SneakersSO Also Switch was too weak to be PS4 Gen imho. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804450&forum_id=2#49472498) |
