10 Most Popular Video Game Consoles Of The Last 10 Years - Ranked

1. Nintendo Switch

What it lacks in a breadth of exclusives, the Switch more than makes up for through sheer hardware, medium-advancing innovation.

From the idea of taking games like Breath of the Wild on the go to swapping between handheld and big screen modes, the seamless motion controls that work in the likes of ARMS and World of Goo, or the fact one half of the Joy-Con pad can function as a separate controller entirely, there's a level of forward-thinking progression across the Switch that feels fantastic.

In honesty, its game library has always had far more to offer than you might think, and with a free online mode, games like Fast RMX and Mario Kart 8 feel most at home when you're up against the entire world.

It might have taken Nintendo over a decade to get back to serving their core fanbase, but with so many features on-hand and such a great feel, the result is a console that feels as though it has a solid grasp on the future of gaming, rather than circling endlessly around pointless resolutions and frame rates.

Here's to Nintendo being back on top form, it's been a long time coming.
