Best Sixth Generation Video Game Consoles

The Top Ten
1 PlayStation 2

It's the best selling video game console of all time and for good reason. It's backwards compatible with PS1 (with much faster loading screens by the way), It was the first console to play DVD movies and most importantly, It had a pletherol of great games that could satisfy everyone. casual gamers? Yup! Hardcore gamers? Yup! Mature games? You got it! Kids games? The PS2 has it all. Not only that but it managed to survive the entire of at the time next gen consoles giving it a 13 year life span.

This console was so successful that it took 13 years until it was discontinued, is the best selling console of all time, and is also the console with the largest game library. There was little to no competition with the PS2. It had so many exclusive games on it, and even with the newer consoles out (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii) I still consider it to be my favorite.

What, this is too low for the PS2 (and no, I like the other consoles, its just that this one was the best), not only that but this got the most sales, and is the best console ever. It is one of the 2 legendary consoles (the other being the Nintendo ds).

2 GameCube

That's why I voted for this console because I like this! My father says he want's to buy me a play station 2 or a psp but I continued saying no because I love this console even though the games aren't like games of Xbox, wii or play station yet they are good I have this console but I can't play it because I don't have an ac adapter but I will not stop searching I LOVE GAMECUBE!

The GameCube was one of the first consoles I ever played. I still have my first GameCube, I take care of it, and play it regularly. I guess this isn't as much as a "GameCub is better, because graphs, and games." as it is just my personal experience with it. In my opinion, its perhaps the best console of all time.

It had the best graphics. Better than the original Xbox and a lot better than PS2. Google it if you don't believe me. It had great games like Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. Melee and Double Dash are really fun with friends. I wish Nintendo made the most powerful consoles like they used to.

3 Xbox

Graphics were equal to PC graphics... At least back then. Most games that were shared between PS2 and Xbox looked better on the Xbox, (examples:Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Wolfenstein, Doom 3, Max Payne 1&2, Man-Hunt, the list goes on). Playing any Grand Theft Auto game on the PS2 after playing that game on the Xbox, comes across looking grainy. There was the ability to upload your music on it. Like the PS2 you could watch DVDs on it. Personally, I've owned two PS2's and they've crapped out! One stopped playing games, the other stopped playing movies! This hasn't happened with my Xbox. The S controller fits perfectly in the hands. That being said the original controller (the Fatty, or whatever you like to call it) turned me off from Xbox, for years, but lucky for me, I wised up.

There has never been a console to have best of both first party and third party games. This console revolutionized gaming and is the second greatest debut console out there (best being the PS1). The XBOX showed it's strength out of the gate with amazing first party titles such as,Halo (although the newer halo's are nowhere near as good as the first 2), Fable, Fuzion Frenzy. Sega fans even view this as Sega's next console because of what Sega has done for it.

4 Dreamcast

The only reason this isn't higher is because most folks never had one. In addition to pioneering in so many fields with out of the box online capability, unparalleled graphics at the threshold of SD and HD, the many clever uses of the VMUs, and an absolutely stellar software library, the Dreamcast was a symbol and a celebration of the entire gaming industry.

In the era of console wars and fierce brand loyalty, the Dreamcast allowed interfacing with third party systems in a way never seen before or after. Neo Geo Pocket (and Color) systems could connect via the serial port, the VMU could be brought to arcades and unlocks shared with console ports, and it even supported running Windows CE software. And when the time finally came to accept the Dreamcast's demise, Sega went on to collaborate with Microsoft in the creation of the Xbox (its similarities to the DC are no coincidence), and even longtime rival Nintendo on the Triforce arcade board.

The Dreamcast wasn't just a great console. It was a shining beacon representing gaming's past, present, and future. And that's why it's cultivated such a devoted following, thanks to whom the system continues to enjoy an active online community and thriving indie scene.

Thank you Sega, for sharing your dream with us.
