This battle was won by SEGA.

Xbox honestly. They squandered their lead hard with gamepass

PS2 > Gamecube > Dreamcast > Xbox
I'm in EU by the way. Dunno if that matters.

Sony.
Most sales, biggest game library, dvd player.

>>717603882 (OP)
PS2 inarguably won. Xbox and DC both had an extremely strong presence, but neither was on the market long enough.

Gamecube was just kind of there.

>>717603882 (OP)
The 8bitdo

>>717604449
gamecube had some absolute banger games though to be fair, plus at one point in the UK it was being sold for £80

>>717603882 (OP)
sony with sales numbers but xbox games looked and played better since they had the best controller

>>717604429
>dvd player.

oh no, watch out, the youtube influencer fed faggots are going to sperg out if you mention this.

But yeah, the PS2 was the best Dreamcast stand out of all of those consoles, and the Xbox was great at being the Dreamcast 2.

>>717604548
yeah like Ikaruga (ported from DC) and Soul Calibur (multiplat) and Sonic Adventure 1-2 (ported form DC) and uh...

PS2 > Gamecube > Xbox > Dreamcast

Dreamcast was a fucking meme.

i like all of them for different reasons, but if you asked me for the loser, it's definitely the dreamcast.
even if you ignore the minuscule game library and the whole bankruptcy that happened, one single analog stick in 1998 was impossible to defend.
it was such a dogshit move that it ruined those games long term even if you emulate them

>>717603882 (OP)
WHO'S NEXT?

>>717604650
super smash bros melee
mario kart double dash
mario sunshine
pokemon colosseum
f zero gx

probably a few more i'm forgetting, as well as all the multiplats it had

Hello euro trash

>>717604846
those are all just the then-current gen updates for what you already had on n64 or snes etc.

you should've at least said Metroid Prime or something.

Gamecube

Resident Evil 4 on GameCube was the game of the generation

>>717603882 (OP)
Everyone except Sega.

>>717603882 (OP)
In retrospect: the GodCube.

only good stuff in that pic is resident evil

In terms of quality, Gamecube.

>>717603882 (OP)

we will never have such a kick ass generation ever again

>>717603882 (OP)
ps2, then gba, then XBOX, then PC, then dreamcast.

>>717608402
no, games are more expensive to make and publishers are focused on live service and gacha shit

>>717608156
>laser sight
That's not the GC version of RE4.

>>717608708
6th gen didn't have in-built internet access
and the hardware is about as advanced as it can be before it becomes uneconomical to develop for

The answer to these questions is always the Nintendo console. I don’t know why the fuck every other company has so much trouble making video games but that’s how it is.

>>717603882 (OP)
Gamers.

sega won in the hearts of gamers, gamecube is a very vocial minority and there's a good reason the new mario strikers and TTYD remake flopped

>>717610291
>sega won in the hearts of gamers, gamecube is a very vocial minority
oh ironing

>>717608156
why do gamecube games look so dry I feel thirsty looking at them

>>717610402
I recommend taking your schizo pills.

>>717604008
other than the ps3 losing to the xbox in america and the wii everywhere sony really always wins huh.

PS2 and no fanboy of any console would deny this

>>717603882 (OP)
GameCube. Nobody had any of the other consoles.

>>717603882 (OP)
My vote goes to Xbox.
Sony sold the most units because it was also a DVD player but the Xbox had the bigger effect on gaming as a whole in that gen. That is why Sony made a conscious effort to imitate it more in the PS3 next gen. Xbox had THE killer app of the era (Halo) and the PS2, while it had a very large game library, never had anything that could match the sheer hype and influence on the gaming landscape that Halo had for shooters (which to this day are THE dominant genre next to RPG games, which were also wider in scale on the xbox than anything before it.)
Gamecube was also very influential with many very good games on it, but worse sales. Dreamcast went hardest into this and had a lot of cool features and games, but ultimately made very little impact on the gaming sphere as a whole and sold poorly.

If measuring by sales, PS2. If measuring by impact on Gaming tech and genre popularity, Xbox. If measuring by long term cultural impact, Gamecube. There is no scenario in which the dreamcast wins. It did what the other 3 did, but not as good as any individually.

>>717612572
Xbox doesnt have:

Mgs3
Gow
Silent hill
Kh
Rachet and clank
Jak and daxter

The xbox was the halo box to most people, good system with some good games but completely mogged and under appreciated

>>717613737
I can agree with that but I'm just saying the game alone sold both the xbox and the 360 for years and I do think it was bigger than any of those games individually at the time for sure.

1. SEGA KINOCAST (just because it was based)
2. SONY KINOSTATION 2
3. Microshit eksbeks who cares lmao
4. binbingwahoocube, dogshit hardware

gamecube, because it has the most amount of schizos constantly seething over it despite it being a flop lol

gamecube was great for playing with your friends

>>717603882 (OP)
More like we all lost with what comes after

ps2 won the battle but gamecube won the war. as soon as blu ray players came out there was no need for a ps2

who won?

>>717603882 (OP)

>>717615629
It also had blinx, the time manipulation was cool.

In its time PS2 and to a lesser extent Xbox were the popular ones. DC had its time in the spotlight prior to the PS2's launch but after that it was over for it. GC was the unpopular one then but now it's easily the most popular when it comes to online discussion. For some time DC had a really vocal minority but I feel like Saturn has a bigger group of dedicated autists now.

>>717603882 (OP)
Dreamcast obviously.

Gamecube - couple of excellent games but not enough
Xbox - lol
PS2 - DVD player

>>717603882 (OP)
PS2, easily.

Like what, trannies and groomers playing smelee? Because no one gives a fuck about double dash, and the shitshine and ttyd remakes flopped lmao. PS2 mogs the fuck out of it

>>717617860
>Good games on Gamecube
>>Metroid Prime
Not that impressive of a metroid installment
>>REmake
Just a remake
>>Resident Evil 4
Actually cool

Better picks would be:

>Melee
>wind waker
>zelda tp
>billy hatcher
>mario sunshine
>luigis mansion

Also you actually think any mortal kombat is worth a shit? Every platform at the time had better options, the dreamcast had sc1, mvc1, mvc2, cvs2 and jojo, gamecube had cvs2 and sc2, ps2 and xbox had 3rd strike, mvc2 and cvs2

Mk aint shit compared to any of them

Only generation where owning all of it's consoles are worth it.

>>717603882 (OP)
PS2 easily won by both sales and sheer volume of vidya available to it, even remaining relevant into the following gen.
Xbox was the most powerful console and had proper online, it's a close second and gave consoletards a taste of the PC life.
Gamecube was the last non-casual Nintendo console games-wise, but not much else. Low sales but third for at least surviving.
Dreamcast started strong then shat the bed immediately, genuinely losing the race this gen. Last place for killing pre-Sammy SEGA.

>>717603882 (OP)
Gamers won by having four consoles each with excellent exclusives to choose from, plus the Game Boy and PSP. We will never get a generation like this ever again

>>717624515
>shitcube has dogshit first party games
>shitcube has dogshit third party support
>shitcube has no fun arcade games like the Dreamcast
>shitcube has no backwards compatibility like the PS2
>shitcube has no online besides a handul of games you can use through a tunneling service and 1 paid MMO
cubies trying to sneak their garbage barebones lackluster console in with the golden era will never not be funny. there's 0 reason to own a shitcube and anyone who plays dogshit like mario shitshine in 2025 is doing it on a wii lol

>>717624761
This, also don't forget the DS.

>>717603882 (OP)
PS2 no contest. But I tip my fedora to Xbox, a completely new player and they absolutely nailed the hardware and managed successfully enter a market that was at the time tumultuous

>>717623679
Thanks anon I will check those out.

As for MK, there are 4 3D Mortal Kombats and Deception is the decent one of the lot, yeah. Its singleplayer offerings were comparable to Soul Calibur, it had a puzzle mode, it had a chess mode, and the bitches were hot. Pic related is an actual screen from the game, not fanart.

>>717603882 (OP)
PS2, but in retrospect all of them were great. DC was very underappreciated at the time and GC is still Nintendo's best console.

>>717604210
>They squandered their lead hard with gamepass
They squandered it with the Xbox One. Not only did it flop financially but it was also slightly weaker than the PS4. Gamepass is the only thing that keeps (poor) people on Xbox.
