I suppose it depends upon your gaming priorities and when you started gaming.
Even though I haven't been a fan of Nintendo's in many years, they more or less single handedly resurrected the home console and video gaming in '85. As someone who lived through the gaming industry crash of '83, it was as though home video games had been invented all over again. I never bought a Sega Master System.
Sony's biggest contribution to the industry was catering to developers and making a developer friendly platform in the original PS which included using optical media and the cheap, volumes of space it offered over expensive, solid state chips. Developer's resource libraries facilitated easier game development and in general made it easier for more games to get published and thereby played.
And of course, MS revolutionized online play with XBL. Where online play was more of a novelty back during the cartridge days and the slightly improved services available on the Dreamcast and PS2, it really wasn't until the XB that online gaming became a lot more like online PC gaming of the time, only with a unified structure, making it more accessible and easier to use.
