Found the Vita and Wii U fan.

Nintendo switch should be S tier for both categories

Nah, you got those ones right.

Cant do it as a console. Its hard to justify when its more of a handheld which is S tier. As a home console its A tier. No amount of 3rd party and First party ports from previous gens that people played prior is going to bring the Switch to S tier as a home console. Switch has 5-7 great exclusive games and a good handful of them have performance issues like BOTW, TOTK, and Pokemon.

S - NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, Wii U
A - Wii
B - Switch
C - GC, N64
F - PS3, PS4, PS5
P(ointless if you have a PC) - All XBoxes

Why does PS3 get shit on? I loved that console

It wasnt good until the last couple years or so of its gen and the release was possibly the worst of all time. The great games it brought us in the end is what brought it up to C tier for me. If the PS4 didnt port the best games over I would probably rank it a little higher.

But this isn't a "rank the consoles based on the availble games", right? It's just "rate the consoles?"

Sorry but I just can't contain my laughter when you say Ninty's second biggest failure in the Wii U is their best console.

Oh would that be the Wii U that only sold 13,500,000 units (compared to the GameCube's 21,700,000 units) that flopped so badly that if it hadn't of been for the DS that Nintendo could have gone under, had a horrible launch, stupid confusing name. horrendous design and no third party support? Do you mean that Wii U?

Pointless to have an Xbox if you have a PC??!! Sorry again I am having trouble containing my laughter! Lets see now give me the ease of use of a console compared to trying to get games to work on a PC anyday. My PC hasn't got the graphics cards necessary to play games and to turn it into one it will cost hundreds of dollars for the right graphics cards and so forth and then there is the hassle of seeing if they are the right size and fit for my PC. For all that money and no hassle I can get myself the Series X.

The console infamous to this day for dying from normal use is S tier?

LMAO.

What an absolute shitty list.

It should be:

S- SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, Xbox 360

A- PS4, PS3, Gamecube

B- Switch, NES, Saturn, Dreamcast

C- PS5, Xbox Series, Wii, Master System

D- Wii U, Xbox, 3DO, Turbo CD

Portable-

S- DS, Switch, GBA

A- GBC, Vita, PSP, 3DS

B- Gameboy

C- Gamegear

PS2 and Wii held gaming back so much with its weak ass hardware to be considered top. Saved by massive software catalogs.

S: SNES, PS1
A: PS2, XBOX 360, Wii, Switch
B: N64, GameCube, XBOX, Dreamcast, NES
C: PS3, PS4

Rest not really worth ranking

N-Gage so bad fell right off the list eh?

If Switch should be maybe C in the console list. Shit was a gen behind when it released.

NES being in the same tier as the 3DO is certainly a take.

Made this about a year ago

https://tiermaker.com/list/technology/video-game-consoles/2860247

I don't think there's anything too controversial, unless maybe some of the hardcore N64 or Dreamcast (or maybe Genesis) fans think their console should be in the As or S.

Oh, and over the past year I'm thinking Switch might be A+ tier worthy

Why are people putting early PCs (C64, Spectrum, etc.) on a console list? If we are going to do that, then the list has to be much longer and renamed.

Only ones I played. N64 is very high mainly due to nostalgia

The GBA is S tier

It's the worst PlayStation. Had a bad UI and controller. It was fat. Third party games ran worse on it.

So far, the worst Playstation is the 5.

Had a bad UI and controller.

That's debatable.

Third party games ran worse on it.

This is true.

Hey theres nothing wrong with C tier. Ive enjoyed a small handful of games from those consoles. I wouldnt count them out. The only real bad systems are D tier to some extent and most definitely the trash tier.

I totally think gba is S tier. Its the fact that the DS is B/C with gba that makes the DS higher.

I notice none of y'all are mentioning the Nomad, and I demand to know where you would put it on your rankings.

Its not really a distinct console. Technically it could almost be compared to the 2DS or the Switch lite

This. It's the exact same hardware found in the Game Gear except it has a Genesis cartridge slot and six buttons. Still a battery hog though.

Jaguar S rank

You really think the 5 is worse than the 3? I have zero experience with PS5 and it's probably going to stay that way.
