Very interesting, but call it arrogance/ignorance/etc., I just simply dismiss lists like these, since I consider most people who would do these polls "stupid." I mean no offense if you did it mate, but the majority of people have a short attention span nowadays. You ask someone what's their "favorite," the average person will say whatever they play the most now. Granted it was nice to see something like the SNES get 2nd, and something I would say from my own standpoint, would be top, but seeing the 360 as top isn't surprising in my books either. A poll where you can just rat off your "top 5" consoles isn't very telling in my books. There's like a bajillion variables, but I understand the sentiment of where the poll's coming from. You'll have people ask things like "did people take into account the influence on the market?" "longevity?" etc. Still, just my quick thoughts, it's very late and this seems more like rambling, but whatever! =P Also, get to playing more Etrian Odyssey II! ^_^
No Jaguar, therefore this list is invalid.
I was interested to see that the Playstation 3 was so far down the list. Not because i think it should be any higher (hell no) but more that i didn't think many people voting would be old enough to know what an Amiga is and would really only think about the current 3 consoles.
The 360 has done exceedingly well, ESPECIALLY given the shitstorm associated with their failure rates. They have done an amazing job to bounce back from that stigma.

Yeah. The fact they almost did a 'no questions asked, just make it go away' repair plan kind of helped.
For me, the way the 360 has MADE online gaming a natural and expected thing is it's biggest contribution.

@ Funktastic;
Yeah, I see what you mean. It is a list where the variables change with every day, location and generation. Like I said, silly, superfluous arguments over the console wars will never cease, no matter how many 'important' polls are made.
Btw, I am still playing Etrian Odyssey II since A) it is fun and B) I am still trying to get past the boss on the 3rd Stratum. Don't worry, I'll find a way.
@ TheToiletDuck;
Although it didn't get into the top 15, the Jaguar did get 0.16% of the console vote, so it wasn't forgotten (and it wasn't the lowest, as that role went to the Vectrex).
GamesTM does have a retro section at the back and has done for all of its issues. They also have a sister publication in the form of Retro Gamer, so I would assume that enough from both magazine and website readerships pooled together. That should explain the increase of the votes for gaming computers like the Amiga/Commodore/Spectrum.
