1- PC- So much of gamings innovation comes from this platform. It's a gamers paradise in some cases. A gateway to soo many indie games, tons of interface options, mods, free online, advancement in tech, and let's not forget the legacy in games with Fallout, thief, half life, etc. It's mainstream blockbuster offerings aren't there anymore, but it's found a new crowd. A new niche. The Quakes, the Unreals, the Half Lifes, have been replaced with The Stalkers, the Cryostasis, the Witcher, The sins of a solar, etc
2- Playstation 2- Visually while the games maybe showing their age, they still hold up enough to be entertaining. Gameplay wise, design wise this platform is filled with so many influential and cIassic experiences. Resident Evil 4 is on it. GTA SA is on it. Shadow of the Colossus is on it. Okami is on it. God of War 2, Persona 3, etc.
3- Super Nintendo- the only other platform I want to list. Why because while the N64/PS1 era has console games that straight up don't live upto standards. The SNES because its's a 2-D platform still holds up nicely. Super Metroid is still awesome, A Link to the Past is still awesome, Super Mario World/ Yoshi's Island is still awesome, Final Fantasy VI is still awesome, etc. Remember just because I say that so many games of old age poorly and are forgiven by people wearing nostalgia glasses. The 2-D era with the SNES still holds up in ways the N64, the saturn, PS1 never willl. The PS2 could very well end up being replaced with a console from this gen, but that will never change how much the SNES still holds up.
