		The popularity of computer and video games, as a whole, has been increasing steadily ever since the 1984-1987 drop-off caused by the video game crash of 1983, and the popularity appears to be continuing to increase.
		Computer and video games have been the subject of frequent controversy and censorship, due to the depiction of graphic violence, sexual themes, advertising, consumption of illegal drugs, consumption of alcohol or tobacco, propaganda, or profanity in some games.
		Video games are made by developers, who used to do this as individuals or small teams in the 80's.

		Once, video game consoles were easily distinguishable from personal computers: consoles used a standard television for display, and did not support standard PC accessories such as keyboards or modems.
		Older game consoles and their software now live on in emulators as they are no longer supported by their manufacturers.
		However, console makers try to prevent their games from being played on emulators using copyright-like exclusive rights in mask works and a protection of encrypted media created by the United States' Digital Millennium Copyright Act and foreign counterparts.

		Accompanied by the largest line of games available for any system of this generation of consoles, you will have much to chose from if you purchase the PS2.
		Using many parts similar to those found in a modern day PC, the Xbox is the easiest to develop for, and at least from a technical point of view the most powerful of the consoles.
		Games like Eternal Darkness, Perfect Dark 0, Metroid Prime, and exclusive ownership of the Resident Evil license should be plenty to keep even the most dark, adult-only gamers satisfied.

	Most Influential Video Game Console? - AtariAge Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		even today, video games in general dont have the mass acceptance they did during the height of the 2600s days (and thats counting all the platforms out there,) the 2600 had a universal non-demographic non-age centric appeal that no console has achieved since.
		It was the first colossal success of home console gaming (Odyssey was more "pioneering", Intellivision was more "innovative", Coleco was more "coin op" but none were in as many homes as Atari) and the first colossal failure (shortsightedness, big egoes, flooding the market, screwing retailers, making a kludgy successor to their original machine, et cetera).
		Put simply, I think the rise and fall of the VCS shaped every single aspect of home console gaming before, during, and since it's heyday; which is part and parcel of the reason there is so much nostalgia about it and so many homebrew projects for it today.

		But, as Sega's recent exit from the console market shows, video game hardware -- which generates about $1 billion in sales annually -- is an extremely difficult and expensive proposition.

		In a keynote speech before several thousand game developers at an industry gathering in San Jose, Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, officially introduced a kind of PC-console hybrid called the ``X-Box'' that will be available late next year.

		Still, Moore and others agree that Gates' speech and entry into gaming hardware, validates an industry that until now was thought of as the province of pimply-faced 14-year-old boys.

		While the new consoles from Microsoft and Sony boast more power and high-definition graphics, Nintendo's goal is to roll out a machine that appeals to a broader audience than the young males who make up the traditional console gaming market.
		A key feature of the Wii is its one-handed controller that looks like a television remote control and uses motion-detection sensors that allow players to control the game by wielding it like a sword, waving it like a conductor's baton, or swinging it like a baseball bat.

		I'd vote PS1 as a runnerup to SNES because of games like Chrono Cross, the rest of the Breath of Fire series, The remake of Ogre Battle, Xenogears, FF Tactics.
