Playstation 2
The GOAT. There are still games on this system you can't play anywhere else. The amount of games in each genre is MASSIVE. Being able to watch DVD movies was a great feature. Not to mention that developers used those DVD to make games meant bigger games. It really is Sony best console and they haven't been able to replicate that success ever since
Switch
I love that I can just take this system off my dock and play it on the go. Yes the specs aren't that great but when Nintendo first parties and third parties (The ones that care) show what the Switch can do, it tends to be impressive. Luigi Mansion 3 and Nier Automata comes to mind. There's a massive amount of games for the Switch, that cover every genre. Not only that but Japanese Developers really supported this platform. This is the first time since the SNES, that a Nintendo Console had so many third party games especially JRPGS
Playstation
Really pushed 3D gaming forward. N64 did too and also was successful in laying down the groundwork for 3D Platformers and 3D Adventure games but Playstation also layed the groundwork for 3D Sleath games and 3D horror games. All the staples you see in those genres originated from Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. Yes they were most likely other games before that did the same thing as those two games but those two were able to have mainstream success. Also the Playstation was able to attract a new audience which consisted of teenagers to adults due to the system having games that were aimed more at teens and adults than kids. Yes there was games aimed at kids but Playstation had something for everyone regardless of their age. And it was the system that destroyed Nintendo in that generation due to Sony going CD for their storage medium. That had a lot more storage compared to how much carts could hold at the time. When Square decided to develop exclusively for Sony Playstation, that was the end for Nintendo during that generation since other developers jumped ship and ended up making games for Sony
PC
Let me just say that being able to play older games that are stuck on older consoles is fantastic. I love how open the OS is. Want to download a Emulator and ROM, sure why not? Want to mod your games, yes you can. I've been playing on Steam for a long time too and the amount of games that releases for that platform is insane. When it comes to making my own PC, I have the freedom to choose my own parts and get it built. And I really like how you don't have to get a powerful pc, and just can't settle for a cheap build. I just like how much freedom PC gaming has given me
Xbox 360
Booting up Blue Dragon for the first time on my HDTV was a special experience. Back than that was my first time experiencing a game in HD. I was amazed at how sharp and clear it looked. It is the console that kickstarted the HD Era going forward. This console came out an year before the PS3 came out and it showed that someone other than Nintendo and Sega (before they went 3rd Party) could compete with Sony. They had a good variety of titles across all genres even though in it's later years, there were less JRPGs on it. I played so many games on this system. It's too bad Microsoft isn't as into the console business as they used to be. I never got the red ring of death. Out of all the 7th Gen consoles, this one is my favorite
