Second place for me is a tough pick between the SNES and the Wii.
My SNES I got in 1994 still works after over a quarter of a century of extensive use, (and abuse, when I was a kid) has a great controller that set many standards that remain to this day (shoulder buttons, 4 face buttons in a diamond shape) and feels great to hold and use, had fantastic audio-visual capabilities for its time, and just looks like such a sturdy, robust piece of kit, which it is.
The Wii introduced the magic of IR and motion controls, (The Wiimote + Nunchuk remains my favourite controller of all time) and the console itself was nicely small, quiet, classy-looking and reliable.
