It should be on this list then. How do you edit a poll?

A lot of people call certain plug-into-the-tv 1980s computers retro games consoles. This winds me up, and in the 1980s, wound Clive Sinclair up.

Amiga came with a monitor Tongue

. One of it's distinguished features was it's color reproduction and high resolution for graphics work. 1024x800 in the late 80s!

Aaaaaanyway, LV, did you mean the Amiga CD32? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_CD32

In the original poll there were no non-nintendo options other than the PS3/Xbox360 (which was one option). Thus I said it had a nintendo bias. This was fixed by you.

MaJoR Wrote:It gets even more complicated when you learn that the Xbox is a direct successor to the Dreamcast: Sega worked with Microsoft to develop it, and the Xbox was highly influenced by this partnership. For example, the "opposite of Nintendo" button layout, A+B/X+Y instead of Nintendo's B+A/Y+X, was directly inherited from the Dreamcast, which was in turn inherited all the way back to the Sega Master System. Tie in that relationship, and Sega-MS consoles make up 10 systems (including Durango).

While you're kind of/sort of right that's stupid logic. Especially considering the wildly different hardware (the dreamcast is almost all japanese designed/made hardware while the xbox is almost all american/european designed/made hardware), software platform (directx vs openGL for example), types of games and where the games are coming from (american/european devs vs japanese devs), the company that made and supported the device, etc. The xbox is not an extension of the sega lineup in any way. The fact that microsoft briefly took advise from sega means jack squat. Other than a few really minor things they literally couldn't be any more different.
