Nintendo dual-screen. Something I can't wait to get. Nintendo's latest portable system is seperate from the gameboy series.
At a first look, the DS' dual screen just seems like a feature. A good feature is one that has something to do with improving gameplay, which the touch screen does. The psp however, is trying to beat nintendo with better graphics and dvd, making the DS the instant winner. Why? Because the DS is focusing on making fun games and revolutionizing games. The PSP is a mobile phone minus the calling people.
Also, the DS is cheaper then PSP and so are the games. The DS consumes less battery power then the PSP.

Someone who hates Sega, either because they are ignorent, think they make crap games, or more commonly, hates sega because they fail to accept their own responsablility for buying a console/add-on which then failed.
Sega didn't intend for the mega cd, 32x and saturn to be failures! It's just people didn't buy them, so they failed!
A sega hater bought a mega cd but the mega cd was unpopular so they stopped making games for it. The sega hater then blamed sega because their console was unpopular.

Nintendo's system made to compete with the Sony Playstation and SEGA Saturn. The 64 got it's name because it was 64 bit, unlike the PSX and Saturn which were 32 bit.
The 64 was the first console with an analog stick and the first console with a vibrating controller. However being a cartridge based system, it had inferior sound quality. But becuase it was a cartridge based system it was very reliable (Good luck finding a broken one.) Also cartridges have less space on them then CDs, so Nintendo lost alot of 3rd party support. Cartridges are expensive and companies didn't want to pay tons to put a huge game across multiple cartridges.
The 64 had smoother graphics then any other console that generation, though the colour palette had heaps of crappy oranges and such.
The 64's controller was revolutionary, but crap. The analog stick could be worn out quickly (If you want your controller to last stay away from Mario Party.) Also the c buttons were hard to reach.
Some popular 64 games are: Super Smash Bros, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, GoldenEye 007, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Lylatwars.

The Nintendo 64 was revolutionary, yet it had a crap controller and little 3rd party support. Overall, it has enough great games to warrant a purchase.

SEGA 32 bit system. It was made to compete with Sony's Playstation and the Nintendo 64.
SEGA originally designed the Saturn for 2D games and were like "Oh shit" when they saw the playstation. The saturn's controller was very similar to the PSX's, (Playstation) except it had 6 buttons in the normal position and 2 shoulder buttons, as the PSX had the SNES 4 button layout with 4 shoulder pads. The saturn's controller was a 6 button SEGA megadrive (SEGA Genesis) controller with shoulder buttons.
The controller was evolutionary of the Megadrive's offering, just like the console was meant to be. The saturn could do a better job of 2D then the PSX and 64, but 3D wasn't as good. With the help of an expansion the saturn could even run some 2D fighters better then the SEGA Dreamcast could. Still, games like Daytona USA are Playstation quality.
The console sold less then 10 million units world wide, mainly due to alot of the good games weren't realeased outside of Japan, and it wasn't as 3D efficent as it's opponents.
The console had decent sales in Japan, less the the PSX's but the Saturn sold more games: The saturn was more liked by people dedicated to gaming.
Also it had a battery for save files, there was a memory card but it was expensive.
Some of the Most popular Saturn games are: NiGHTS into Dreams, Panzer Dragoon series, Dragon force, Guardian heroes, Daytona USA, SEGA rally championship, Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, Radiant Silvergun and more...

Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Nintendo's 16-bit console. It was the first console with shoulder buttons on it's controller and had a button layout which is still being copied by other companies to this day.
It had great hardware at it's time, and some of the great 2D still impresses today.
The thing which made the console great though, was the games. The SNES had a great selection of games of most genres.
Some of the best SNES games are: Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country series, Megaman series, Super Metroid, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy series, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, Lufia series, Earthbound, Illusion of Time, Terranigma, Starwing, Super Bomberman series, Street Fighter 2, Final Fight series and more...

If you don't have a SNES you're missing out.
