Personally, the PS3 is my favourite. The OG backwards compatible one.
PS2 or PS1. I played the PS2 more than the PS1 but the PS1 is more nostalgic for some reason. I don't think the games were better per say but I have fonder memories on SO2 than eg. Til the End of Time. Really wish they'd remake Tales of the Abyss tho
I couldn’t possibly choose. To this day I still get a lot of mileage out of the SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, GBA, and Nintendo DS libraries.
I think I liked all the ones I owned but switch was my fav since it had so much and 3rd party classics and everything and it was power efficient, compact, portable. Steam deck has taken over for me though. Way more of a swiss army knife.
I’ll always have a 360 laying around ready to be played, so probably that if I had to choose. Every other console has come and gone, and now I don’t have time for games anymore, though I do have a pc and a ps5 (ps5 is mostly for BD/DVD these days), but I still have my 360 plugged in and off, just needs to be turned on and hdmi connected.
I recently found out that you can soft hack them really easily, literally drag and drop onto a flashdrive and plug it in. If you ever find the time you should definitely try.
My wife still has her 360 too, so we’ve got two at home, just one is put away but I know exactly where it is. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these days.
Steam Deck. 100%. That thing rocks.
I love the Steam Deck, but wouldn’t count it as a console.
I’m too young for it, but I found it in my dads stuff and fell in love with it, but the dreamcast haha
The Dreamcast is probably the most underrated console of all time. Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, Sonic Adventure, Shenmue 1&2 (I’m European), the fantastic VMU, first console with Internet (first game I played on Internet was Chu Chu Rocket), Crazy Taxi… man this console was a banger. And I just learned the joysticks on the Dreamcast gamepad use magnetic system to prevent joystick drift. Not quiet the same as Hall-Effect as I understand, but still way ahead of its time!
This is a surprisingly hard question.
I’d have to say either snes or n64.
I probably played n64 more. There were so many good games on it.
Mario 64 Banjo Kazoie Golden eye Perfect dark Shadows of the empire Ocarina of time Pod racing Star Fox Mario party Bondsman hero
I just wrote up, so I know I’m forgetting some stuff, help me out
Console-wise it’s the PS1.
I grew up a Nintendo kid but the PS1 was the first console I bought with my own money, bought and installed a mod chip myself, and played everything I could get my smelly teen hands on. That library of burned discs was a huge influence on my gaming tastes and is packed full of nostalgia for me.
PS1 or Gameboy
Probably because they were the ones I had as a kid, but they both have great libraries of games from an era when it seemed like anything goes. Also the hardware limitations of each give the games a charming character
PS1, I had the original gray box and later the small white boy. Both modded to accept any CD from the get go (yay for Brazilian piracy!), which brought me great joy once broadband internet reached my home in late 2003.
The original Xbox is so good it has earned a permanent spot hooked up to my TV. The PS3 has that honor too, but the Xbox is my favorite.
xbox 360 in its prime
then ps2
then wii
SNES or GameCube. Both were fantastic systems with tons of great games.
I grew up with gamecube and xbox 360. Im partial to the wii because it can do both gamecube/wii nintendo games but there are very few wii games that i like that much that arent available on xbox
I feel like my steamdeck would be a cop out a bit but it is my favorite at the moment. It has all the consoles and my steam library of more than a decade. Plus I can switch between my laptop and my steamdeck without issues.
But if I were to guess off the top, it would probably be a toss up between Gameboy or GBA. So many good games and distractions from my early childhood.
Sega, just because of the “Sega Scream”
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Playstation 1
I still have fond memories with my old family Wii growing up. It got given to charity but will always remember raging on MK.

I honestly don’t know how I could pick one favourite. I have super fond memories of the Sega Genesis, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360, I really could not say which one is a favourite.
