It really depends on the individual. For a long time I've championed multi-console ownership, but lately I've discovered that my experiences have become very wide, but shallow. Whereas if I was a single console owner I could really explore and savor each game to its fullest, instead of rushing on to the next.
In any event, I think 2 systems is a must. The best bet, I've found, is Nintendo and PC. With PC you get most of the high-profile third-party games, plus PC exclusives, and with WiiU/3DS you get Nintendo's first and second party software.
I probably won't follow my own advice -- I'm only an X1 away from owing every 8th gen system -- but PC and Nintendo strikes me as the most efficient and cost-effective way to play the majority of great games.
