Not a bad list, I agree with almost everything here, DLC could have used a mention tho, and developers that fell off from quality ( Square Enix/ Capcom)

Funny they mention consoles breaking, because it is still happening. I just got a brand new Last of Us PS3 bundle for Christmas this year. I spent a good portion of the day after xmas setting it up getting the system ready, I pop in the disc.... and..... the damn thing just shuts off. Completely. Happens with any game I put in it. I was pissed, and my enthusiasm for PS3 was squashed. It's on it's way in for service now, they better just give me a new one. So I totally agree "consoles breaking" is #1 on the bad list.

Sorry to hear that MNGamer-N. I've been a long time PC (and more recently Xbox) gamer, but bought a GTA V PS3 bundle with The Last of Us late last year. No hardware issues yet... I hope they get back to you with a new one.

With my first 360 about 2 years ago, I made the mistake of buying one on eBay. I later found out it was one of those "repaired" red ringed ones, and only last a few weeks. I spent a long time going through all those repair guides - overheating your Xbox, taking a heat gun to it etc... all temporary fixes. I finally gave in and bought a Jasper model. Should've done that earlier to save some headaches!

I'm deliberately holding off from the launch PS4 and Xbox Ones due to possible hardware issues. Plus, there's not much incentive there for me to get one yet anyways, the launch titles aren't too special.

This actually seems to be one of the smoothest consoles launches. The disc drive issue on XB1 and the HDMI thing on PS4 are very limited.

agree with everything but the Wii, Wii was the worst...

for my the best was the rise of the handheld, the DS and PSP were legit consoles in their own rights with amazing libraries each delivering genres such as JRPGs wish were lacking on the main consoles, fortunately the trend seems to be continuing onto the next gen, even if the Vita is having something of a slow start

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
