The 3DO project was founded and designed by the people of the original Amiga team, RJ Mical (Amiga co-Founder / software designer, 3DO co-founder / designer, now "working on top-secret technology for Sony"), David Morse (Amiga co-founder, 3DO co-founder), Dave Needle (Amiga hardware designer, 3DO designer). A top team!
IMO:
1) 3DO (state of the art, but expensive)
2) Amiga CD32 (sadly based on older Amiga technology though, still most multi-featured and flexible)
3) Atari Jaguar (what a shitty gamepad, console lacking CD drive by default)
A games comparison:
Atari Jaguar (with CD add-on) Primal Rage:

Amiga CD32 Fightin Spirit:

3DO Street Fighter 2: Turbo:

IMO in this example IMO the 3DO was technically the best by far. However IMO the Amiga CD32 had the most good games available (Chaos Engine, Cannon Fodder, Exile, Pinball Illusions, Supefrog, Simon The Sorcerer, etc, etc), despite its short lifespan and many if not most of the games being straight Amiga 500 ports.
