I'd say it's between Atari 2600, NES and PS1. I don't think any other console can claim triumphs on the level of those three. Not the PS2, not the XBox and no SEGA console either. The Odyssey though obviously has it's place as an honorable mention for it being the first.
I'd give it to the NES though. While the Atari 2600 basically 'made' the industry, was the pioneer, it also killed it. The PS1 made gaming huge and mainstream, made it what it is at present and was the first console to really excite Europe. A huge laurel to claim, but still it seems to me like the NES's innovations, the way it revived the industry in America and as it was the vessel through which the industry started many standards and gameplay features, companies and gaming series we still know today, is the most important feat.
So, NES.
