i'd say PS3 Cos i like warhawk and cod5,and also like overlord and dmc4 which i have on ps3

I would have to say the Ps3 anything i would want from the 360 is on Ps3. also shooters don't appeal to me, and the wii is just the biggest disappointment since i got my first girls gone wild dvd.

SNES surely. Unless we are only talking current gen in which I would have to say 360.

SNES. Not a second to think about that.

Or PC if that counts.

For consoles? PS2. Has all my favourite games, plays DVDs, and hasn't been broken (yet).
For gaming systems, obviously the PC.

ANYTHING That Can run games counts...PC's and SNES do count:D

Anything from anytime,also DVD players count (save dvds)

There is an aggravating grammatical mistake in the title it should read "one console and all their games"

Please fix it.

I am not going to answer though because this is a flame bait "what's the best console" thread in disguise. versus threads, especially this one, are not generally permitted. I don't know if it's a clever enough variant on the topic to warrant exclusion from that rule.

PS2. Simple. Huge library of games and DVD playback.

Changed ^_^

oooh, hard question. either the gamecube or the 360. the wii has some great games but there aren't enough to warrant it saving over the cube which has a lot of great games. the 360 has some great games and, though i don't have one, i wouldn't like to see them disappear.

But the Wii can play Gamecube games! Surely we get to keep those games too! And Virtual Console, maybe.

If Virtual Console and Gamecube games aren't destroyed as well, then Wii, no contest. If not, probably Gamecube.

sega mega drive...or sega genesis as the americans knew it

Sorry but choosing a 360 is one of the dumbest things possible...
It would probably red ring the day after you chose it Haha.
But if it was some sort of invincible machine then yes I think the 360 would be a good choice. However I also think the PS2 would be pretty good. There's so many games out there for it that you would never get bored. That along with reasonable reliability, decent graphics and a few tastes of the current generation with things like Eye Toy and SOCOM. Although these aren't as great if you want sheer variety then I would definitely say PS2...

The pc, or if that doesn't count, the PS2!

I would save the PS3, I'd rather play the 360 but I couldn't let something like the PS3 just die, even if I don't really like most of its games.

If all gaming systems were going to be destroyed and you could only save one, why wouldn't you save computers!?
Imagine a world without them, we'd be screwed!
Plus, we can just re-engineer consoles again from the PC base, like the first time around.

Violently torn between GC and 360. Mostly because of Resi 4. I know 5 is out soon and though the gameplay (and probs story) is better, I just love me some Leon. Unless he's in RE5's equivalent of Mercs. In which case 360, since a number of my fave GC games are on xbox and backwards compatible (Hulk:UD, TimeSplitters 3)

PC period.

why you ask?

Emulators

If we counted the computer, then we'd also have to count the mobile phone, the TV, and so on. A console is really a device designed primarily for gaming, something that I highly doubt anyone could say was the computers purpose.

True; although, the OP says further up somewhere that PCs and even DVD players are included.

The reason for PC though is that most things can be reverse engineered from PC components. TVs are easy to do.

Although they aren't dedicated, they can do it, and they are the most beneficial overall to keep.

Also would keep the PC.

I'd say 360, as long as it keeps updating its backwards compatibility.
Plus eventhough all the other consoles will be doomed, I bet everyone would start making ports to the console you saved, so basically it comes down to performance and how good the controller feels.

I'm assuming PC gaming will be excluded from this? After all we're talking consoles here.

Definately my PC! you can get so many games on it old and new, pretty much any game you can get on consoles you can get on your PC (besides the Wii that i know of). Also you can upgrade it with different features and stuff to make it awesome..

if the gamecube games stay then yes, the wii would be the better choice but as he said whatever console goes, the games do too, if the gamecube goes then all gamecube games go too

The PC with all emulators...

well assuming every other console went kaputz, all the games would be stuffed onto whatever's left. so my vote goes to the most versatile of them, the PC. then we COULD still see all the same stuff, just in different forms.

among the actual consoles? I dunno. the Wii is crap, but mostly because it has competition with better hardware. if the others were wiped out I'd prefer to play games made to be fun rather than made to look good. however, nintendo's been rather iffy lately so I don't know if I trust them to keep it going.

the PS3 would also probably be good if the others were gone, but I think I'd prefer the 360 of the two, just because they offer better services (even if you DO have to pay for them) and I can be sure that M$ would do whatever it takes to do the best job and make the most money possible (while cutting every corner possible, of course, but hey, it's M$).

anyway, that's my opinion and my reasoning. feel free to flame all you like.

If I saved a console that had backwards compatibility then would the older games be saved too? If that is the case then PC by miles, emulation!

I would save the PS2 of course.

If I would count the PC as a console I would save it but for me it's not a console.
