The 2007 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Game Console of the Year

It's time for the 2007 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the Game Console of the Year.

Nominating is easy, simply leave a comment with what you're nominating for this category. We'll round up the best selections and put them to the popular vote.

Here's five simple rules of what NOT to do:

• Don't include your reasons for nominating it.
  You can debate the product later when we put it up to vote. Just leave the name of what you want to nominate, ok?
  
• Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2007.
  We will allow updated versions of previous devices, however.
  
• No concept devices or prototypes.
  It has to be a real gadget people can buy! Pre-orders don't count.
  
• Don't nominate anything more than once.
  It's not a popularity contest (yet), all it does is make our lives harder. Just do a quick find to see if someone's already beat you to it.
  
• Seriously, don't nominate anything that's already been nominated!

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!

No, you can't nominate the Wii. It didn't have a hardware rev in 2007. Don't worry though, it won both awards last year!

[ARaymundo Posted Dec 24th 2007 5:35PM]

Actually, the wii did have an update. It was the D2C chipset, and it made current modchips obsolite. I nominate wii 1.1!!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 6:12PM]

I don't care. I nominate the Wii anyways.

[ryan Posted Dec 24th 2007 6:18PM]

Nominate it all you want, it's not going to be selected!

i disagree that somehow a hardware revision should be what qualifies a console for contending. (This is "Console of the year" and not "NEW console of the year....) None of the top 3 consoles were new this year, and the fact that the Wii didn't NEED another hardware revision shouldn't necessarily be punished.

But this isn't my blog, so do whatever you want, just know that my nomination and vote go for the Wii.

The biggest disappointment of the year is the Wii.. This isn't a gaming machine its a ripoff.. its simply stupid. I believe there is absolutely no difference between Wii and Vii except the Vii costs around 20 US dollars.. which makes it way better pricewise.

yes Xbox 360 Elite

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 25th 2007 1:15PM]

360 Elite definately. Actually maybe the Halo3 version.

The Elite is great looking, and the HDD and HDMI are an improvement over my Launch Premium, but I would love to say I had a Halo 3 360, I could put it next to my 2 Legendary Editions.

Can I nominate both?

[JKooL Posted Dec 24th 2007 3:01PM]

PC is still the dominant console.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 4:09PM]

I third that

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 24th 2007 10:33PM]

I would fourth that, but poor old me, I'm stuck with one of those (backward compatible) launch consoles. Man, life sucks.
