Default The best picture quality for each console

As I've been getting into high-def game recordings (a lot of it is going to be for VGV), I'm going to start buying cables. I'm interested in knowing what the best picture is for any consoles that can connect to a TV.

Note: this is only for NTSC, not PAL (so no SCART connectors).

Numbers represent quality on a scale of 1-10.

[7-10] HDMI (digital, one cable with both video and audio)
[7-10] DVI (digial, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[7-9] Component (analog, three video signal cables + separate audio cables)
[7-9] VGA (analog, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[5] S-Video (analog, one video cable with two signals + separate audio cables)
[3] Composite (analog, one video signal cable + separate audio cables)
[1] RF (analog, one signal cable with both video and audio muxed)

Now let's actually get to the list!

ConsoleSupported cablesMax resolutionMax sound ch.
Atari 2600RF480iMono
GameCubeComponent, S-Video, Composite480pStereo
NESComposite*, RF480iMono
Nintendo 64S-Video, Composite480iStereo
Sega GenesisComposite, RF480iStereo**
Super NintendoS-Video***, Composite, RF480iStereo
WiiComponent, S-Video, Composite480pStereo
Xbox 360HDMI, Component, VGA, S-Video, Composite1080p?

* The NES-101 redesign lacks composite output.
** You must use the headphone jack in the Model 1 Sega Genesis to use stereo sound. Models 2 and 3 have stereo sound in the AV output.
*** The S-Video cable only works with the original Super Nintendo, not the second model.

If a console lists RF, then it has a built in RF modulator, meaning you can directly connect a coaxial cable from the console to your TV with only a physical adapter.

If it's not on the list, I'd like to ask you guys for help. Can you please help me name consoles and the cables they support?
