Spontaneously I will say NES > PS1 > PS2 > Switch.
Nintendo did a lot of different hardware experiments this century, but the hybrid format seems to be the one that will stick, and basically everyone else is also jumping on the ”home console games on a handheld” wagon.
PS2 fleshed out the types of games that were on the PS1 and set the stage for modern games and controls. And just the sheer variety and quality of games.
Atari was before my time so I can’t speak on it.
