Top 25 Videogame Consoles of All Time

IGN is currently counting down their list of top 25 consoles of all time. I'll list my own top 5.

5, Atari 2600 - There were consoles that were first. But this was the first to make it big. Some of its games are still played on mobile phones today: Pacman, Pong, Breakout.

4. PS1 - This is the first console for company that had little to no videogame influence. And they made it big--enough to have 3rd generation of this console.

3. PS2 - Market domination, longevity and a long, long list of great games make this my favorite console of all time.

2. Gameboy - This console started the handheld market. And it ran it for what seemed like an eternity.

1. NES - I wouldn't be gaming today if not for the NES. A lot of games wouldn't be here today if not for the NES. A lot of NES games are still fun to play even today.

- Note -
Why no SNES or Genesis? Just one reason--they didn't dominate the market during their time because of each other.
