Gen 3: There's actually 2 here. The first one is the Master System. Vastly better than the NES (apart from the sound chip, but a fix to that came out in Japan with an FM sound expansion card). The second one is the PC Engine, beats the shit out of the competition and the Hu-cards were pretty damn great yet tiny compared to game cartridges.
Gen 4: Neo Geo. It's an arcade in form of a home console, so of course it blows the competition out of the water. And since it's an arcade, it also came with prices to match for the games...
Gen 6: Gamecube. Nintendo was just out of luck with this one. Great games, a turn to more mature ones from 3rd party publishers (which then jumped ship when the console wasn't selling enough) and more powerful than the PS2, yet couldn't do anything other than get annihilated by it in terms of sales.
Gen 8: Wii U. I like the Tablet controller and the asymmetric gameplay it allows. Too bad it got underutilized as no big publisher seems to have come up with good enough ideas for it (still waiting for an RPG where the one with the Tablet is the GM and the others have to follow what's on the screen).
