What is the most important console in the history of gaming?

[Doctor Wily]

Nes for resurrecting the home gaming market. (Arcades would've still been around if not for that).

The CP system was the game changer for video games in general though.

NES is hands down the most important. It literally saved the gaming industry. Honestly it's about 4 consoles.
NES.
SNES
PS2
Sega Dreamcast.

 

[Ciggavelli]

NES; no question

 

[Fatboi1]

almost all of em I'd say cept for the Saturn and Atari Jaguar.

 

[Rekkapryde]

The OG Nintendo was the most important...

But the PS2 was probably the best

NES kept the industry alive
XBOX, streamlining online play with live. Others attempted it, Microsoft perfected it.

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

PONG and Atari ....

NES for saving the industry.

SNES for Super Mario All Stars

This.

NES was the moment gaming arrived.

 

[BamdaDon]

Nes for having the gun and track n field pad. Helped with my aim and endurance

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Uh, NES?

Nothing but classic games and classic franchises, some of which are still being made today, all under the same roof and innovating something crazy.

No Dreamcast. No Xbox. Believe that.

No Dreamcast. No Xbox. Believe that.

no doubt, but I said streamlined. Microsoft mandated an Ethernet port and the community got on board, while the rest didn't.

if we going by that logic x band did it before anyone. Without it, consoles would be in a very different place now.

Most important console? Either the original PlayStation (PS1) or the PlayStation 2.
