I found one that included handhelds because I didn't want to leave those out. Here we are:
GameCube - Favorite of all-time. Incredible exclusives and you gotta love that startup screen and the controller.
Switch - I'm only ranking this based on its merits so far, if it keeps up the pace of excellent games I just might put it in the same league as the GameCube when all is said and done.
PS3 - A messed up launch but I didn't get it till way later. Tons of great games and my most played PS console.
PS4 - Again didn't get it till way after launch because in terms of exclusives it didn't have much to offer at first. But they definitely made up for that later on and then some.
Wii - The first 4 years it kept up the great pace of the GameCube and while it slowed down later on it still managed to have several amazing titles in its life.
PS2 - I actually never owned a PS2 but I've encountered and enjoyed tons of games that originated on it as remasters or ports (MGS 2 and 3, FFX, Okami, Tales of the Abyss etc. etc.)
SNES - While I actually don't think it had any games that were straight up amazing, the shear number of great ones is staggering.
GBA - Golden Sun, Pokémon Ruby and FireRed, Metroid Fusion and a whole lot of SNES ports. That's pretty much it, but its enough.
PS1 - It doesn't have quite the same bulk of titles as the PS2, but it makes up for it with some exceptional games like FF7, Symphony of the Night and so on.
3DS - A few excellent games on it's own and ofc the remakes of OoT and MM made this a console I was very happy to own even if I never bought that many games for it.
N64 - Did someone say OoT and MM? There are of course a few other great titles, but they're definitely the defining games of this console to me.
DS - Honestly the most important DS title to me is Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors which was fantastic. Also some good Pokémon games.
Wii U - A lot of bad decisions, but it still had a few really good exclusives in its short life.
GameBoy (Color) - Pokémon Crystal carries this console for me. I had a few other games I enjoyed, but none on the same level.
PSP - Probably should not have included this because I think I've literally only played 2 games on it: Dracula X Chronicles and MGS: Peace Walker. Don't like Peace Walker, Dracula X Chronicles was pretty good.
NES - Its certainly before my time, but I've played several NES games regardless. And... I've yet to encounter one that I find great. SMB3 is the closest thing and I do like that, but I don't like it that much, compared to many SNES games for example.
Well that took longer than I planned but oh well.
