Would really love the Wii, if my son would ever stop playing Raw vs
Smackdown!

The Doctor (as portrayed by Colin Baker)
All of the above combined into one - remember Yoshi's Box?

The question is obviously about the companies.
Sony drops off the list for dirty tricks like buying out the HD-DVD
competition to keep Blu-Ray alive, and installing rootkits from bogus
audio CDs. Also for always trying to get us to buy an expensive data
storage format that works with nothing else in the world. And they're
the biggest of the three when it comes to DRM and region lockouts. Note
that Microsoft didn't even make it into the poll.
Nintendo drops off next for all the anti-competitive behavior they did
back in the NES days, and to some extent for region locking.
That leaves Sega. They had the least DRM of the three: Dreamcast's DRM
had a hole the size of an elephant, and at least Saturn was
straightforward to add a region mod, even if it took more work than it
should have. And they, uh, had Blast Processing too!
So the one clear answer is: Sega.

was the best in the early 80's then after the crash came a company
called nintendo...

Actually, I started out on a Coleco Telstar. We got an Atari later. I
guess it should have read "nintendo. They restarted it (after the
crash)." The crash of 83/84 was pretty awful...

I agree.... I remember the telstar. I did not have one but I remember.
I was a pinball wizard back then.... Loved playing video games when I
saw the first one at a local bowling alley. I think it was called
Space Wars... I was hooked after that. The Colecovision was the best
at the time. 1982 I was in college and everyone loved my
colecovision.... Arcade games were at their peak then I think....
Everyone wanted to bring the arcade feel home...

Which Telstar? I have several, including the Telstar Arcade with all
four carts.

This was a white plastic case with wood-grain veneer, with two knobs
and 3 games...
Handball
Table Tennis (Pong)
Hockey
Options were, IIRC, slow/fast, and change size of paddles.
I played that thing until I wore it out. Loved the Hockey game...
