If you could only use one console for the rest of your life...

...What would it be? 
 
I have thought about this scenario quite a bit recently, and I finally came to the conclusion that I would choose the Wii. There are several reasons, the first being the first-party Nintendo game, you know, your Marios, your Zeldas. The second being the Virtual Console, aha, see I found a loop hole. Third: GameCube backward compatibility. The GC is a sadly underrated console, and one of my favorites ever, so access to it's great library of games is an awesome bonus. The Wii overall has the largest availability of games, between WiiWare, VC, and GameCube games.  
 
Edit: No, PC is not a console, you'd be able to keep that as well.
 
What about you guys?

Probally the xbox360 because it's like a low mid range pc with a controller. I don't own that console btw, however I like the games for it.

are we assuming that it will never break down? 
360 then. if not, ps3.

If you mean platform, then PC. I can look at porn on it...FOR FREE.

I'd choose PS3, but what happens when technology progresses and I'd pretty much still be playing games on an antique?

360. It has everything I like. My favourite Mega Drive games on XBLA and that badly constructed but well emulated Mega Drive collection by Backbone. The 360 has some of the best fighters such as MvC2 and KOF98. As for games made for the system, it includes long, deep games that I can replay like Fallout 3. 
 
My second choice would have to be the PS2 for its insane variety.

Ps2, just cause of the great games and ability to play ps1 games, or a backwards compatible ps3.

Is this to say that  no games will be coming out in the future for either platform? 

If so, probably the 360 because it has a much larger back catalog of games than the PS3. 
 
If not, it's would be impossible to say because you'd have no idea what is coming in the future. I guess still the 360, because if the newer games did suck I'd still have a large library to choose from.

360, then I could put XNA games on it and such and make my own games for the 360 long after it's dead.

PS3 all the way.

Hmm I'm torn between the PS3 with backwards compatability and Wii with its Virtual Console/WiiWare/GC support. 
 
I'd have to say...PS3.

I was debating between 360 and a PS2 but when I saw backward compatible PS3 the option was obvious it would be like the best of both worlds. 

I'd say Wii.

PS4 with backward compatabiity.
 
na, but PS3, since we just count consoles i could get most of the 360 games on the computer, i also prefer the PS3 over the 360.
Wii, no thanks, i have some problems seeing myself as a 70 year old jumping around with the Wii mote

PC.

That's a tough one. 
Either the Gamecube or the PS2.. I think it goes to the Gamecube for me

I get it. Funny. "

I'd have to go with a ds lite. Only reason i'd choose lite over the dsi is for the additional gba support, which opens up the mario and sonic advance games. Between those, the plethora of great ds rpgs, mario kart, phoenix wright/broken sword type stuff, and friggin pokemon, i'd be set for life.

ps3. online is free. i'd save a lot more than if i was stuck with a 360. 

Xbox 1080 with Natal 3.0

Xbox 360. Assuming that it doesn't break and or that I maybe able to replace it with another one.

Easily the Sega Genesis.

Ps3 if it has backward compatability , also ps1 games come out on psn. So 3 consoles in one, sweet.

PS3 for me.  
 
Those who answered 'PC'... read the question.

The Wii, mostly cos the muscles on my right arm would be huge. Also it can browse the internet, which means the muscles on my right arm would be HUGE.
 
 
 
For realsies, probably a 360 with XNA.

If you exclude the PC, I'd say either the SNES or the PS3 (the Xbox360 if it won't Red Ring).

Easily the DS. There's just so much content! 
i suppose the PS2 would be up there close. 

My PS3 because I love the media player component of the system.  I use it just as much as a Blu-Ray/DVD and streaming from PC device as a game platform.  And, my particular PS3 has full b/c so all the PS1 & PS2 games can be played on it in addition to PS3 titles.

PS2 and PC.Wait,how come both of those?Well the PC is not a platform jerk!

Since the PC isn't a console, I'd say my PS3 (last gen that has BC.) Owning a PC and a 360 is kind of redundant in a lot of ways.

... 
PS2 or my DS 
Both have a great library of games, especially RPGs. 

First generation PS3. 

360.

The 60g ps3 has backwards compatibility as well and the psn store... So it has all the things you listed about the wii, except it has good games. Why not pick the ps3? "

i dont answer to stupid questions...

I think I would stick with my 360 since I have a decent collection of games now.

If you're including PC's then I would go for that. If not I would go with my PS3. Backwards compatibility, PS1 classics, and let's not forget Flower.

A toss up between the 360 and the PS3.
 
I think the 360 has a larger back catalog of games to entertain me, while the PS3 has the longer technological legs.
 
I think the 360 might just edge it out as I'm one of the few people who still LOVES Rare.
If Viva Pinata 3 or Nuts and Bolts 2 came out and I couldn't play it, I don't know what I'd do.
