The one you like and because you like it.

That’s not what I was trying to say though. Not the last part at least.
The steam deck is a portable pc that looks like a handheld console.
All consoles are portable PC’s.
Yes, but most aren’t able to be used like a laptop/desktop PC. You can’t install any software from outside the official repository on a Xbox or Playstation whereas the Steam Deck is just a handheld laptop with Linux as the OS.
Nah, a PC is a specific thing, not just any computing device. Most modern consoles are custom architecture and systems. Not PC compatible.
i’m gonna get downvoted for this, but the one i already have handy all the time: my phone.
Everyone in the replies here is sleeping on the raw emulation power of most people’s phone, doubly so if you’re willing to bt sync a controller to it. I’ve got a significant percentage of the SNES and PS1 libraries playable on mine.
Boo hiss :P
Ahh, a Diablo enthusiast, I see.
I hate touch controls ngl
i agree with you, figuring useful and fun UI using touch and swipes is a real challenge. but ive never seen someone whip out a bluetooth joypad for their phone in public.

I mean, with GamePass, Steam, and the Razer Kishi, I feel like my phone is basically a Steam Deck, so I tend to agree.
What kind of games do you like and play, I’m not gonna judge :p
The Ouya, obviously.
Its spelled Ouija
Luigi?
Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.
Super Nintendo because it’s super.
Still mad they never made a mega nintendo
Yet
That’s why Mega Drive was always superior
They were originally going to call the Nintendo 64 the Ultra 64. That’s about as mega as it gets.
Given the trend to make “Super” variants of games for the Super Nintendo, we could have seen “Mega Mega Man”.
Sega Dreamcast. It was ahead of its time, at the time. GD-ROM (1.2Gigs of data in an era of CD), Dual pressure sensitive triggers, modem, ethernet adapter. Even the memory card was a portable minigame device.
I was very sad when they discontinued it. I seem to recall that they did that just after someone in charge of it died.
It was the last console of extremely unique games, most of which were absolute bangers. Rez is still one of my absolute favorite games of all time. Space channel 5, crazy taxi, jet set radio, shenmue, seaman, chu chu rocket, power stone, techromancer, and many many many others.
I’ve always wanted to play around with one.
I couldn’t convince my parents to buy me one when I was younger.
Now I’m an adult and the Mrs. Won’t let me buy one either
EDIT: it’s a joke people. I just don’t have a TV that will connect to one and I have way more pressing money matters on my hands than buying very old consoles and trying to make them work. Seriously though, it looked wicked when it came out, well ahead of its time, then seemed to die off despite being (at least on paper) one of the best consoles available. RIP Sega consoles.
Still have my original one!
For me it is the Gamecube, it was the first console I bought new and got invested in.
Mario Kart Double Dash is also the best Mario Kart.
I sold mine way too early, but a decade later I bought a good used one with MK:DD and Bomberman
I think I’m in the minority, but PS3. It was the most powerful console of its time, it released The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and a ton of other classics and the PSN was free to use.
It also had my favorite game of all time on it - Littlebigplanet 2. The custom levels people made were insane.
The SNES. Why? Because it was the best console.
I mean, you can’t neglect the prior 2 PlayStation generations. Gran Turismo started on ps1 with the first two, and the next two on PS2. Besides that, great entries like the first three Spyro games, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank… And let’s not forget just home much freaking staying power the PS2 had! Was still getting new games alongside Wii, Xbox 360, even the PS3
That’s fair about the staying power, but I prefer playing Multiplayer so the PS2 and 1 never hit the same (I did play them a lot as well though - I had the OG Gran Turismo, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, Metal Gear Solid and a bunch of others for PS1, and I had NFS: Underground 2, Gran Turismo: A-Spec, Medal of Honor: Frontline and a bunch of others for PS2 as well). I do respect how well they did, but I really enjoy multiplayer (and the PS2 multiplayer didn’t do it for me)
Intellivision because the controller has an insert with labels for what the buttons do for each game.
GameCube. Because I have fond memories of it in my childhood. I prefer it over PS2 because it properly supports 4 player games (without any extra gadgets).
Smash Bros. Mario Kart. TimeSplitters. All excellent couch multiplayer games. Even Metroid Prime 2 had quite fun multiplayer.
And Soul Calibur 2 got Link.
Nintendo DS.
PSP.
3DS.
Nintendo Switch.
Vita.
PS4.
PS3.
Wii.
PS2.
PS1.
Game Boy Advance.
Game Boy Color.
GCN.
N64.
SNES.
Megadrive.
NES.
In that order.
Edit: why? Because I played the most of them in such order 😅
I could be wrong though.
You got it backwards. Is a portable pc that’s like a console.

Really depends on your definition of best. I think the PS2 and the Xbox 360 were the last great consoles, they’re the best in my book but they obviously aren’t too common anymore.
