strongly disagree.
OG Xbox wasn't that common - everyone, including some chicks, owned N64s and Mario Kart/Goldeneye.
Never met a chick who owned any Xbox

Clearly Goldeneye. Was played by all Millennials, not just gamers.
It was popular for many years after its 1997 release (especially because of its multiplayer), and was played by a wide range of ages -- thus covering a huge portion of the Millennial base.
Even many girls played it given how popular it was with their brothers, male friends, etc.

exactly.
GTA 3 was the one that we would crowd around the TV and watch people play, rack up police stars, etc.
Vice City was basically the Same Game.

Gran Turismo belongs in this list. To this day I am a better driver because I played that game as a kid.

I don't get how they haven't made a driving game to match it.
I remember spending hours during 200 lap races with my friends just to get some stupid car.

Was only popular from ~1993-1996 or so.
Youngest millennials were BORN in 1996. And the average age of player was fairly old compared to later console games. More of a younger GenX game.

State your definition of the Gens before I engage you further.
Millennial is 1982-97
Zoomer is 97-2012ish

Goldeneye is the clear winner. If it is going to define the generation, it has to be played in groups.
Halo might be the answer for younger people, but i think for anyone who played both, Goldeneye has the fonder memories.
Mario Kart is not it. It has staying power because its like 20 differenet games and a good hang, but it isn't teh winner.
OOT - this is the winner for solo game that millenials have the most reverence of, but it wasn't really a part of school culture like Goldeneye. If you played it with friends you were torturing them.

If you consider female gamers to be legitimate gamers, then the answer is The Sims, and it's not really debatable. No other game mentioned in this thread came close to its popularity if you consider both male and female gamers combined. Granted, gamer culture has historically been male-dominated, so it's unclear if being the clear GOAT game for female millennial gamers makes it the quintessential game for millennials overall. But at the bare minimum, it should be part of the discussion.

Goldeneye and it's not even close.
I never once in my life saw anyone play OOT. I've only heard about it online.
If you didn't own a 64, you never were involved with OOT. Goldeneye was different and was a staple of any sleepover.
