Best video game platform this decade? (Poll)

New and improved poll.  Thanks CK.
 
My best is the PC. I've owned two PCs this decade and both have brought me much joy.
 
Handhelds... not my thing.

As for consoles, well I've owned pretty much everything this decade, but the PC took the cake and it wasn't a lie.

Eh same answer as last time! DS. Has a ridiculous amount of games on it and I spent a ton of time playing mine over the past few years. I really need to get a new one though. I have a legit launch day DS phat and I have never bought a lite or DSi. If that one with huge screens comes to the US I may consider it since my phat is on its last legs.

I still disagree with how PC is listed, you won't buy a PC in 2000 and still be playing on it.  If anything PC wins because it incorporates a full 10 years of gaming.

" @Claude: Well there's a lot of ways it could be listed, but to me the fact that I wouldn't want to only be playing a Dreamcast today nor did I have a Xbox 360 in 2000 gets in the way of me being able to vote for a platform. "

Like I said before, it's PC for me although it's an unfair fight.

Panasonic 3DO.

I guess I should vote considering this is the last chance I have. Good old Playstation 2, never let me down except when it broke on me on three separate occasions. That was not cool PS2, not cool at all. But it did bring me back into gaming when I slowed down. Thanks PS2.

PS2, so many great exclusives. The PS3 pales in comparison.

" @Claude: The point is PC in a list like this has both Resident Evil 4 and RE5, it has all the GTA series.  RE4 was better on Gamecube or Wii.  Though I'd rather play GTA4 on 360 or first played GTA3 on PS2, and those games came out later on PC, PC has them now.  You buy new hardware as time goes on, so it's never the same platform as it was a while ago.  In terms of voting I can say now that I appreciate 360 more as a platform than PC, but if I evaluate my gaming correctly in 2000 or 2001 I didn't even know what a Xbox 360 was (as it didn't exist).  Basically the poll is a contradiction of quality versus quantity.  Even a person who didn't ever own a gaming PC would have to recognize they didn't play on a single console throughout the period.  Perhaps that is justification in of itself for voting for PC, yet it could just as likely be justification for voting for each of the consoles by that same logic. "

The gamecube for me. 

" PS2, so many great exclusives. The PS3 pales in comparison. "

PS2; i wouldnt consider them on the same levels. Consoles generally only span a few years 5-7 on average. The PC platform for gaming has been around since well personal computers have been around; give or take a few years, roughly 20 years.
 
I've probably gamed the most on computers, but i'd list the PS2 as the platform that changed it.

  Anywhoo ps2 once again deserves my vote. "

PC of course.

PC for me,PS2 comes second.

Pc gets my vote.

Pc gets my vote.

PeeCee.

Definitely PS2.

Not a question. 
 
 
 Simply an answer: 
 
PS2.

PlayStation 2 is the correct answer here.

As if being exclusive somehow makes a game better? Pfft, whatever, man. Too Human is evidence in the contrary, also Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Borderlands, Resident Evil et al. As is Metal Gear Solid 4. If that game came out on the XBOX360 the load times would have been wiped.  Part of me wants to vote PlayStation 2, but I must say that some of the most fun I've had gaming has come from the PlayStation 3 in recent years. So, whatever, PlayStation 3 it is. "

PS2. That thing is the Atari 2600 of our time.

PS2, no doubt. It's the best selling console of all time, and there are billions of games for the system. Not to mention that there are still PS2 games being produced.

While PC has some of the best games out there, the playstation 2 was just an incredible platform. I can't tell how many games I got for that system and I enjoyed playing them so much.

I want to pick SNES though........   CURSE THIS DECADE!

Playstation 2, no doubt about it.

I know the PS2 is gonna win a lot of votes here, and rightly so. I, for some reason, gotta go with the 360. I scoffed at the original xbox, didnt care at all when they launched the 360, but Bioshock got me to buy one and it's been love ever since. My personal favorite console of all time, flaws and all.

PC

PS2 is a rare case of a console having something for everyone and not limiting itself to one crowd.

I came here to represent PC, but wow I didn't know there were already so many votes for it. 

" Like I said before, it's PC for me although it's an unfair fight. "

Being a lazy prick, i would say PC, but as said before, its not exactly a fair fight.
 
The best console of the decade has to be the PS2.  So many games...

PS2. It just had so many great games in so many different genres that nothing even comes close to it. Plus Persona 4 is on it.

you could say that for PC "

Without a doubt, it's the Playstation 2.

The only sensible answer to give is the PlayStation 2. It's lasted the span of the whole decade, consistently pumping out brilliant games from the 2000/1 launch titles right the way through to Persona 4 in 2008/9.
