Here is the caveat:

The console only comes with all the "system original" games that it has.

It doesnt mean only "exclusives". ie MGS2 for PS2 counts, since although it was ported to many consoles, it was originally only a PS2 game.

So that also means no ports, no multi-platform games like Skyrim, Elden Ring, GTA, RDR, etc.

Mine would be PS2. Still the GOAT for me due to the amount of games

 

[Vick]

No ports and no multiplatform games? PS4.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Steam Deck.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

The only right choice is the PS2

 

[pqueue]

360. got halo 2, odst, 3, Gears 1-3, Alan Wake, Jade Empire, Fable, PGR3, VivaPinata, Crackdown, Shadowrun, Mass Effect, etc

Why a console? I'd take a PC that's capable of playing all modern games + emulation.

you missed the part saying ONLY games released specific to that platform. so no ports, no multi-plats, no emulation.

so that leaves you with pc ONLY games. That still is a lot, but a lot less than what you think it is with your (emulation),etc

 

[mansoor1980]

ps5

Well in that case the PS2.

 

[phil_t98]

Super Nintendo or PS4

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Xbox series cause Starfield. I’ll need a game that’s basically endless and with its planed scope I’ll have to make a mini civilization in it to keep me sane. Any console with a lot of GAAS because those are endless loops.

 

[existensmaximum]

Easily the Super Nintendo. No contest for me.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

tfw when no cute asian waifu gf to hold hands and eat penguin gelato while playing PS1 games on a deserted island

 

[TexMex]

GBA (SP)

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

tfw when no cute asian waifu gf to hold hands and eat penguin gelato while playing PS1 games on a deserted island

Me and my WAIFU would do more than holding hands

 

[bender]

PS2 easily.

 

[kyliethicc]

PS5 since it has PS4 back compat and PS5

 

[Vick]

PS5 since it has PS4 back compat and PS5

 

[Rockondevil]

Stadia.

 

[GeekyDad]

Well, if there's mysteriously electricity on this island, I'll take my 3DS. Otherwise, it's Monopoly all the way.

 

[Patrick S.]

Aren’t you contradicting yourself in your premise?

 

[Sophist]

Your definition of "system original" is anything but clear. What is the time frame? Mgs2, for example, was already available on Xbox one year after the PS2 release.

 

[Esppiral]

The Xbox series X with RetroArch, all gaming history up to the Wii on a single box.

 

[ANIMAL1975]

You guys are forgetting the power generator and the mini gas tank.

 

[cireza]

MegaDrive + 32X + Mega-CD

C-C-Combo !

 

[-Minsc-]

but... there's no electricity so I would end up naming my PC "Willy" and talk with him every day to keep myself mildly insane. Eventually I'll build a raft and leave the island a changed man.

 

[Roberts]

Does the desert island have internet?

Anyway, XSX because then I can play Grounded until my last dying breath.

 

[nkarafo]

The Ν64 had most and best exclusives/original games IMO.

 

[Ogbert]

Switch.

 

[Drell]

SNES but with an FXPAK cartridge so I can play all the romhacks in existance. And yes I read the the condition, only the exclusives/system first games which means only hacks of these games.

 

[pramod]

360. got halo 2, odst, 3, Gears 1-3, Alan Wake, Jade Empire, Fable, PGR3, VivaPinata, Crackdown, Shadowrun, Mass Effect, etc

Mass Effect would not qualify, being always a multiplatform game from the start.

 

[Three]

Mass Effect would not qualify, being a multiplatform game.

It originally launched on 360 though.

 

[pramod]

I guess what I mean is the game has to be originally first released for only one console.

For example RE4 would count, since it was released as a GC exclusive and only ported later.

But RE5 launched on both Ps3 and 360, so it doesnt qualify.

 

[Guilty_AI]

PC. No shortage of 'originals' that i can put 1000+ hours in.

But Mass effect is like MGS2. Originally 360 only then Windows a year later, then PS3 5yrs later. I guess the easiest definition is exclusive launch.

 

[Damigos]

PS4. In a couple years PS5

 

[Markio128]

PS5. Why would I want to play a load of old stuff just because I’m stuck on a desert island?

 

[HoofHearted]

Weird take…

Not exact sure what you’re going to do with a console on a deserted island with no electricity ….

Well … I can think of some things but that’s an entirely different topic…

 

[Filben]

Steam Deck. The games originally released on PC are brilliant.

If it has to be a conventional console, probably PS2.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Weird rules.

PC if that’s allowed. Especially if we’re talking franchises that debuted on PC first.

 

[begotten]

Nintendo DS

 

[Jack Videogames]

Yeah, the SteamDeck pretty much destroyed this question tbf

 

[Rudius]

Original games meaning once exclusive to the system upon release, like Resident Evil 4 for GameCube. It got ported to everything, but was made originally for GC.

That said, PS2 would be my choice.

 

[I Master l]

PS2

 

[Kamina]

Some nintendo console i guess. Probably GBA or SNES

 

[Warnen]

Sega Saturn
