When I was a kid, Top Trumps cards were the shit in the playground. For those unfamiliar with the game, they were decks of cards that broke down the vital stats of everything from supercars to battleships and turned them into a battling card game. Kind of like Pokemon, sans the commercial tie-ins and indoctrinated principles of animal cruelty.

Now, in a stroke of pure genius, an Austrian company has released a deck of Top Trumps-style cards featuring gaming consoles, from the 70s through to the present day, with the 360, PS3 and Wii included. You fanboys want to sort out a winner once and for all? Buy a few decks and get cracking. Just don't come whining when someone beats your PS3 with a Jaguar because they called "manufacturing date".
