Best gaming machine out there? ( Keep it civil :P ) **Rank them if you like**

[Andrew R]

I would rank them:

1. Steam / PC ( has just about everything you can imagine )
2. PS5 ( God of War: Ragnarok and I've always been a Sony Fanboy
3. Switch ( great indies and Mario / Zelda )
4. XBOX SERIES S /X: Never really did anything for me.

Probably the gba. Developers actually had to be creative to design around the system's limitations and since it played gb and gbc games it has a huge library of games that rivals every other console ever made.

Steam
I was a believer when I bought my Steam controller x link and I haven't had a bad piece of hardware from them yet. They make really good stuff and its all idiot-proof so I don't have to spend hours tinkering if something goes wrong.

PC, because it does other stuff too. You get what you pay for.

Gamecube

Cyberdyne systems, they are the #1 researcher of artificial intelligence, I hear they plan on making a very realistic war game.

My favourite ones are the Wii and the Mega Drive.

PC is more generic you can do all kind of stuff with it it is too versatile and not optimized enough (even if today with the beasts you can find it's not like it's a necessity to be optimized that much, but still it's true that is not optimized for gaming) so I would not consider it a gaming machine, and the Steam deck I'm sure is great but I still hae not tried it yet and I don't think it could be the same as the Wii has been for me... it could not be legendary and amazing and cool as the Mega Drive has been when I was a kid...

I miss my Saturn.

PC, obviously.

Otherwise, tie between SNES (with Gameboy Player) and GBA-SP. Back when Nintendo didn't suck.

Atari 2600. GOAT.

PC/Steam aside, I love my Vita.

I wish Sony hadn't given up on it so easily.

For console, FOR ME, it's the Series S. Performance-wise its not impressive but its the SIZE of it that makes it special for me. I can carry it around which is a big plus.
