NES #1 Videogame Console of all Time!?

Congrats NES you may be nearly 1/4 century old with a mere 8-bits worth of graphics and sure you had to blow the dust out sometimes to get it to work but you’re still the #1 videogame console of all time, at least according to IGN.

Now don’t get me wrong, NES was my 1st love but #1? It’s like National Geographic doing a list of the top 25 homonids. Based on what exactly?

Unfortunately IGN’s not saying. The video countdown dedicates all of 20 seconds to each console before summarily passing judgment.

Even if we’re talking most influential, the Atari 2600 wins hands down. And how is it that the Xbox 360 with its motion sensor, Natal, or the PS3 with its Blu-ray & free online gaming are not in the top 5?
