THIS IS A TWO-DAY LONG RUSHMORE TOPIC!

My dad got tickets to tomorrow's Yankees game so I won't be around to do a Rushmore! I picked one of the "big" topics to stretch discussion for two days (hopefully)

If you are watching the Yankees game tomorrow, I will be sitting here:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/239f9edd.jpg

Look for this man in the stands:

--------------------

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Console-specific-rules: HOME CONSOLES ONLY! We will be doing handhelds on another Rushmore! Switch counts as both! Steamboxes do not count. Must be an official, "real" console listed on GameFAQs.

Here is a Beatles Song about this topic:

(Verse 1)
In a corner of the web, where the gamers all convene,
There's a board called 8, where the nerds go to dream.
They're debating consoles, from past and present days,
Trying to decide which one deserves the praise.

(Chorus)
Board 8, oh Board 8, what's the greatest console of all?
From Atari to PlayStation, they're answering the call.
With debates and discussions, they're aiming to agree,
On the Mount Rushmore of gaming history.

(Verse 2)
They argue and they ponder, they vote and they discuss,
From the classics of old, to the consoles of us.
From the NES to the Switch, and everything between,
They're searching for the best, in this gaming scene.

(Chorus)
Board 8, oh Board 8, what's the greatest console of all?
From Sega to Xbox, they're answering the call.
With debates and discussions, they're aiming to agree,
On the Mount Rushmore of gaming history.

(Bridge)
With passion and with fervor, they make their case known,
For the consoles they love, they'll never be alone.
Through the highs and lows, they'll debate until they see,
The Mount Rushmore of gaming legacy.

(Chorus)
Board 8, oh Board 8, what's the greatest console of all?
From Dreamcast to PlayStation, they're answering the call.
With debates and discussions, they're aiming to agree,
On the Mount Rushmore of gaming history.

PS2 sold more than everything else.
Switch has sold very well and was the first hybrid console/handheld.

ok, my major disagreement with others' responses is anyone who has the wii and not the switch. the wii was proven by history to be a fad basically. the switch has achieved the same popularity but is for real.

Yeah, I don't understand having the Wii instead of the Switch. The Switch has done everything the Wii did, only better. I think you can only put the Wii on here if you're just giving it credit for doing it first.

My argument for the Wii is that it was a cultural phenomenon that went way beyond gamers. My parents know what a Wii is and could pick one out of a group of game consoles. My aunts and uncles who are not gamers in the slightest have/had the system. I can't say the same for the Switch.

Yeah I was thinking the Wii would be here in like 2010 but now it feels like a fad that it's really that relevant anymore

NES - Obviously
PS1 - Established Sony and discs
PS2 - Best selling console
Switch - Handheld hybrid, best selling Nintendo console

definitely not my favorite four consoles, but this feels right to me
