PS3 is the clear choice for me. It really did have a lot of great games in its library, and it also really did lose Sony a huge load of money.
Runner up goes to Colecovision. There was supposed to be a distinct generation of consoles while the market was crashing which included Colecovision, Atari 5200 and Vectrex. However, everyone expected Atari 5200 to be the successful console and it was a total turd. Atari had a console successor much like the Wii -> Wii U situation. Colecovision should have been the new market leader, but since video game consoles were such a new business, retailers panicked and just wanted to get rid of all of them. Colecovision never got the chance it deserved. (I guess that also makes it kind of like the Dreamcast.)
