The GEATEST CONSOLE

Snes without a doubt.(and dreamcast,nes)
I was the only kid in diepriver with one, and although everybody mocked it, when i showed them my copy of street fighter 2 they turned green with envy!
Ah those were the days.

it has to be the ps2, its been selling for years and people are still buying them for over R1000 even when the xbox 360/ps3/wii is out.

The Dreamcast. Ahead of its time and still has games being developed for it in the US. Many classic games originated from it which made the PS2 famous, Soul Calibur being one of them.

gotta agree here - dreamcast all the way!
 
Hmm, I would actually honestly say it goes to both the Wii and the DS. I know it's still early, but even if they both stopped selling tomorrow, they have disrupted the market in a way that no other console has before, and their importance is the message they brought with them.

Their sheer success in the market is a big finger and wake up call to everyone to say "It's not about the darn box or how pretty the pictures are, it's about people having fun". The success of that message is obvious and it's made everyone (Look at EA and Ubi's latest 90 degree shift in focus) take notice.
 
Dreamcast was my baby but almost cried when it tanked.
And its emulation capabilities were awesome!

But the greatest console for me must be nes.
Its that underpowered toaster-looking console that had beautifully playable games that will simply never forget.
Remember discovering those warpzones for the first time on mario bros?

And n64 with mario64 and Nights on sega saturn oh the jems
So glad sega make games for all.
 
Actually I would say that the SNES was the best, but due to its lack of support in SA I have to go with the Mega Drive.
 
Defintely the Dreamcast - i'm still playing Ecco, Metropolis Street racer, Worms, karuga and Street Fighter 3! A compact, quiet and powerful machine, its a pity EA never supported it :(
 
playstation 1 was the best machine imo...
too many good games and game sagas started with it.. (gran turismo, gta, tekken etc)
 
Greatest console?
For me it's a coin toss between the Dreamcast and the N64. Many many hours spent with my mates playing Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the n64. Shenmue I and II for the dreamcast was also top notch.
 
For me the ultimate Game console was the gamecube... so many excellent games

Viewtifull Joe 1 and 2
A few Zelda games
Resident Evil 4
Ikaruga
etc
etc


I expect teh Wii, with its many awesome games to supercede the GC tho'

For me it either has to be the Atari 2600(?) or the NES.

In 1982, the VCS becomes “2600” until Atari is sold in 1984, followed by new versions “5200” and “7800”. However, the 2600 continued to be produced and new games will appear until 1991. The VCS/2600 console thus lived for 14 years, a record longevity never equaled since by any console or computer.

I had one of those too, but the Megadrive still gave me many more happy hours. Sonic & Earthworm Jim ftw :D

Aah yes, good old Sega. I used to play Gunstar Heroes, Sonic and Golden Axe for many an hour back in the day. The release of MKIII on it nearly turned me into a hermit :D

It's a pity the SNES was so scarce in SA. It was actually quite a bit more powerful than the Megadrive/Genesis. I recall seeing reviews in old gaming mags where 99% of the time the SNES version of any game beat out the Sega counterpart.
