Microsoft: 20-22-35 (62) Sega: 14-37-26 (65) (If 1st=2 points and 2nd=1 point) Winning option right now: Atari > Sega > Microsoft 35.9% (28 votes) Microsoft is beating Sega in the second, third, and fourth most popular options right now. Microsoft also has more first place-votes than Sega...but losing with #1 like this really evens it back out to Sega. Little surprised Atari is doing this well but I get it. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

Nintendo may not be in the poll but they exist. Even if you don't count that, the Atari Lynx came out before the Sega Game Gear. Oh wow, never heard of the Lynx before. Duly noted! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Lynx Nintendo (and Sony too) each certainly had their own handheld systems, yes. I was just meaning this statement to be among the three of Atari/Microsoft/Sega being compared here. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

| HaRRicH 04/25/24 1:21:07 PM #20 | I'll note that Sega is the only company here than made a handheld game system I'm aware of.
Also gonna note in terms of mascots that Master Chief, Pac-Man, and Sonic are all each huge in their own right. Also-also noting that Minecraft is the best-selling game out of anything these three companies made, though Microsoft acquiring Minecraft instead of being Minecraft's creator from the beginning may matter for some opinions. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

PS1 vs. N64 wasn't close. The PS1 sold around 100 million and the N64 sold around 30-35 million. Good correction -- I thought it was more of a 60-40 sales divide. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
| Topic | What four home consoles are on the Video Game Consoles Mount Rushmore? |
| HaRRicH 04/25/24 11:24:54 AM #104 | I feel like systems that didn't emerge from their generation as clear-cut winners have a hard case to make for this Rushmore. NES and PS2 were completely dominant, for example, and the Switch still might break the record for the most console sales ever. SNES/Genesis and N64/PS1 were much closer in comparison so it's harder to pick one of them over the rest.
Which reminds me..... HaRRicH posted... NES Drop: Xbox 360 Add: Atari 2600 (the 360/Wii/PS3-generation was the closest we've seen to a three-way tie sales-wise, so I'm gonna step back from them and go pre-crash for a rep) --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

| Topic | What four home consoles are on the Video Game Consoles Mount Rushmore? |
| HaRRicH 04/25/24 11:01:45 AM #95 | In the N64's defense, it has Super Mario 64 and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for single-player impacts while Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye shined for multi-player impacts. Its library isn't too deep and Goldeneye doesn't hold up so well a quarter-century later, but those were then-exclusive titans of that era that would stand up well in similar comparisons against most systems.
I'm not picking N64 for the Rushmore, even though it was arguably my favorite system. It has games you can't ignore, yes, but I think other consoles have stronger arguments. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

Inspired by the latest Rushmore topic about home consoles. I took out Nintendo and Sony, as they are the two likely favorites for console makers with the biggest impacts in the gaming industry. I suspect picking #3-5 is harder than picking #1-2, but feel free to call this out if you feel differently! You can consider these three companies of Atari/Microsoft/Sega at large for how they impacted gaming -- not just their consoles but also other categories you find important in the gaming industry. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

I was looking to know if there was a larger cultural reason like "it was the end theme of an anime" or something like that. I was very surprised to see it was their most played on Spotify by such a large margin. This won't explain it fully in the way you're seeking, but the play VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE by the late Christopher Durang was a 2013 Tony-winner. That show at one point talks about I don't know a closer example beyond that, and I would predict Here Comes The Sun was already held in similar esteem before this play came out about a decade ago.

I don't get all these votes for Here Comes the Sun. (Beatles-topic closed while I was writing this) Once upon a time, my mom was pregnant when she heard Here Comes The Sun with George Harrison singing on the radio...and now I'm named after one of the Beatles. I flip-flop if Here Comes The Sun is a top-four song of theirs or not, but the song definitely has popularity and personal impacts for people. It's just a beautiful song that's unique in their library. If you feel like Mt. Rushmore should represent more than just Lennon and McCartney, Here Comes The Sun feels like a pretty easy next choice. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

I resent how anticlimactic the ending was, to the point that it's soured me on returning to newer Phoenix Wright games. I tried with SoJ, and I just couldn't muster through its first two or maybe three cases. As a PW fan who played the original trilogy and skipped Apollo Justice, PW:DD is a relatively good game that committed the ultimate sin of a weak-ass ending. I do like some of the other things going on in this case like the courtroom ruins -- man, what a moment that was -- so it's not all bad. I just don't forgive it. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

news is politics, politics is banned, news isn't, so ???. Yeah, this is a lot of the problem. We can talk about red-orange as long as we don't talk about orange-red, right. Can't talk about war, but we can make Minecraft analogies about who's dropping Creepers on servers. They banned political talk yet didn't plan for this enough to remove the Politics flair. (please don't remove the Politics flair) Politics is banned on a HISTORIC day for politics, mind you -- Donald Trump's court case began that day as publicly scheduled, which can be interpreted as its own political action by Fandom -- and we can't talk about that? Even when you have examples and clarify where you can regarding rules, like...its roll-out seemed unplanned, politically timed, confusing, and unwanted. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
