Sure let's predict this mess

1) Playstation 2 - Based on fame alone, the Odyssey is far from the weakest entrant in the bracket.
16) Magnavox Odyssey

8) Sega CD - Tough match early on that's complicated by not really knowing whether or not voters know about the Famicom Disk System. But what's for certain is that more voters will actually own or have played a Sega CD, so even though Sega CD sort of... sucks, I think it gets the edge here.
9) Famicom Disk System

5) 3DS
12) Amiga

4) Game Boy Advance
13) Sega 32X

6) Saturn - What is a Pong? Like Pong, the game?
11) Pong

3) Switch - What in god's name is a Capcom Power System Charger? The Switch is going to push like 95-96% here and it only doesn't do better because of the name Capcom.
14) Capcom Power System Charger

7) Turbo-Grafx 16 - Tossup. I think GameFAQs is a more TG16 kind of place. I would take the Commodore 64 with the general population.
10) Commodore 64

2) Playstation 4 - ...There is a non-zero chance of an upset taking place here.
15) 64DD

1) Xbox 360
16) iQue Player

8) Intellivision - I would wager that fewer than 5% of GameFAQs voters have played either one of these. Intellivision is the more famous name.
9) SG-1000

5) Atari 2600 - I'm not sure about this one, honestly. I think that voters might favor prestige on this one (voting on what they would actually consider to be the "best console of all time" and giving respect to the Atari 2600 for being the first truly successful game console), given that the Game Gear is not especially beloved. But I wouldn't be surprised if more voters have actually played a Game Gear so who knows.
12) Game Gear

4) NES - The NES is a 4 seed? What?
13) WonderSwan

6) Gamecube - I haven't watched the video but I feel like some of these seedings have to be trolling (not on your part)
11) Neo-Geo Pocket Color

3) Playstation 3
14) PC-FX

7) Playstation Vita
10) 3DO

2) Wii
15) Colecovision

1) PC/Mac - PC and Mac being bundled together seems odd but it doesn't really matter
16) N-Gage

8) Ouya
9) MSX - I completely fail to understand how the Ouya got an 8 seed here, and despite voters being largely unfamiliar with the MSX I'm pretty sure it wins on antivotes alone.

5) Nintendo 64 - The CD-i might have stood a chance as a joke vote victor over the Atari 2600, but not here.
12) CD-I

4) Playstation Portable
13) Sinclair Spectrum

6) Dreamcast - I thought Oculus was the name of a brand/range of products, not a specific console? Anyway, that might have been interesting to debate in some contexts, but not here.
11) Oculus

3) Android/iOS
14) Virtual Boy - Yeah, I'm going spicy here. GameFAQs is a generation of gamers that feels a lot of simmering disgust over the mobile game market, and it's going to get anti-voted to all hell here, while meanwhile the Virtual Boy may be a terrible console but it's a terrible console that GameFAQs voters can rally behind. I'm actually pretty confident in this pick.

7) Master System - Neo-Geo might stand a chance but I don't think so.
10) Neo-Geo

2) Playstation
15) Satellaview

1) Gameboy
16) Lynx

8) Stadia
9) Game and Watch - How did the Stadia get an 8 seed? G&W is going to get like 80% here, maybe more. When I said the Ouya might be the weakest console in the bracket, boy I lied.

5) Genesis
12) Atari 5200

4) Xbox
13) Sega Pico

6) Wii U
11) Mattel Electronics Football

3) DS
14) Jaguar

7) Xbox One
10) Game Boy Color - How in the ACTUAL FUCK is the GBC a 10 seed?

2) Super Nintendo
15) Pippin

1) Playstation 2
8) Sega CD

5) 3DS
4) Game Boy Advance - This is a really tough call. I think nostalgia for the GBA narrowly wins out here, but the 3DS winning wouldn't surprise me at all given that console's success.

6) Saturn
3) Switch - This hardly even seems fair

7) Turbo-Grafx 16
2) Playstation 4

1) Xbox 360 - Xbox 360 getting a free ride to the round of 16 here
8) Intellivision

5) Atari 2600
4) NES - For a 4/5 matchup, this is an unholy slaughtering

6) Gamecube - I don't know. This one could go either way - I think the Playstation 3 might suffer from "Super Smash Bros Brawl" syndrome here where it's sort of lost in between an all-time greater console and the more recent and powerful version. Meanwhile, Gamecube is the Melee in this comparison, for obvious reasons.
3) Playstation 3

7) Playstation Vita
2) Wii

1) PC/Mac
9) MSX

5) Nintendo 64 - I find the idea of the PSP being a 4 seed and the N64 being a 5 seed on GameFAQs VERY funny
4) Playstation Portable

6) Dreamcast - The Dreamcast catches a break for once in its short life
14) Virtual Boy

7) Master System
2) Playstation

1) Gameboy
9) Game and Watch

5) Genesis - Yeah, this one isn't going to be close, either.
4) Xbox

6) Wii U
3) DS - I felt like this match was going to be close enough to write a blurb about, but I thought about it and there's really no justification for taking the Wii U here.

10) Game Boy Color
2) Super Nintendo - This is an unreasonable clash of juggernauts for a 2/10 matchup. In a GameFAQs contest the GBC draws no lower than a 4 seed I think. No console got done dirtier in this bracket.

1) Playstation 2
4) Game Boy Advance

3) Switch - I could see this going either way. It's hard for me to tell if the Playstation 4 is a console that GameFAQs voters LOVE, or if it's merely one that is a vehicle for a bunch of games that people like. The Nintendo consoles simply have a more defined brand nowadays and the Switch kind of stands out here.
2) Playstation 4

1) Xbox 360
4) NES - I genuinely think that the Xbox 360 is by no means reviled here on GameFAQs and I think the 360 did a lot to repair the Xbox brand's image. But uh yeah it's gonna get flattened here.

6) Gamecube - The SFF here is going to be hilarious. This is going to be the match (as well as Gamecube/PS3) that Board 8 gets right and casual bracketeers get wrong... unless of course I'm totally wrong and the PS3 or Wii wins here, then nevermind.
2) Wii

1) PC/Mac
5) Nintendo 64 - The PC probably is the greatest gaming system of all time, but that's basically cheating and voters all know that. Besides, this is just not a PC gaming website. N64 dominates.

6) Dreamcast
2) Playstation - The Dreamcast is, for me, one of the most nostalgic game consoles despite me never owning one - it feels like the last gasp of a particular era of gaming. I just felt like writing something about the Dreamcast.

1) Gameboy - Uhhh, I guess it's POSSIBLE the Genesis wins here...?
5) Genesis

3) DS
2) Super Nintendo - My god the SNES has it easy here.

1) Playstation 2 - It's possible that I am underestimating the PS3/PS4 in this bracket, but I am not going to underestimate the PS2.
3) Switch

4) NES - It's possible that I am overrating the NES here? Voters might be just a little bit too young to vote it in droves here, and the Gamecube boldly represents a very strong era of gaming.
6) Gamecube

5) Nintendo 64
2) Playstation - This is probably the toughest match to call in the bracket. The PS1 is probably held in higher regard overall, but the N64's top heavy lineup featuring OoT and SM64 cannot be counted out here.

1) Gameboy
2) Super Nintendo - The Gameboy always felt like a weaker version of the home Nintendo consoles. The SNES doubles up here.

1) Playstation 2 - PS2 just too strong.
4) NES

2) Playstation
2) Super Nintendo - SNES just too strong. These matches are both formalities.

1) Playstation 2
2) Super Nintendo - I don't think the SNES can possibly lose this contest. I don't think it has a single peer.
