I'm def a PS fanboy, but the XBO is a fine system. S'pecially the X. It's lagged on exclusives, but most of the console exclusives they've had have been solid-to-great, and the overall library is fantastic. I just don't like the parent company much, or how Xbox goes, and has gone on about about things in a broad sense, for a very long time. In a few different ways. I'll leave it there, because this is supposed to be a positive post.

You should vote on the monthly Most Wanted threads. Last month, the XBO got zero votes. And it's kinda fun too.

As i don't care about consoles that won its gen in sales in world wide. I love every SEGA consoles(Master System, Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast and Game Gear), N64, GameCube, Wii U, OG Xbox and Neo Geo AES.

Aside from traditional consoles, you gotta love the MEGA-CD(The SEGA CD), there are great games with great soundtracks.

Perhaps I should have clarified; every console that did not win its generation is eligible.

That includes, for instance: PS3, 360, N64, Saturn, PSP, Vita, Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Megadrive/Genesis, Master System, Wii U, Turbografx-16, etc.

Adding this to the OP for clarity.

For me it would be N64. So much of my childhood is tied to that system.

Easily the PS3.

I don't think we'll ever see a comeback like the PS3 had during the second half of its life cycle. It saved the PS brand and garnered a ton of good will going into the next generation.

GameCube.

1. Gamecube or PS3
2. N64
3. Sega Megadrive (Genesis)

Favourite PS3 Games:

Fallout 3
Metal Gear Solid 4
The Last of Us
Batman Arkham Asylum
Batman Arkham City
Metal Gear Rising: Revengence
Castlvania: Lords of Shadows
Resident Evil 5
Resident Evil 6 (Let me explain: its a bad survival horror game (70-80%), but a really good 92% action adventure game, similar to uncharted, lots of AAA content and I would even say it has better combat than uncharted. It also does have decent horror parts through the first half of Leon's campaign and all through Ada's campaign too.
I am Glad Resident Evil 7 changed back to survival horror though, because Resident Evil shouldn't be a good action-adventure game; it should be a good survival-horror (adventure-ish) game).
Resistance 2 (and maybe Resistance 3 too)
Infamous
Infamous 2
The Evil Within
Dead Space
Dead Space 2 (and maybe Dead Space 3 too despite what other have said, I only played the first 2 though so I can't judge)
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Dragon's Dogma
Devil May Cry 4
DMC
Devil May Cry collection
God of War 3
God of War Collection
Ico & Shadow of Colossus Collection
GTA 4
GTA 5
Dead Island (and possibly Reptide too but Haven't played it)
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
L.A Noire
Skrim
Minecraft
Mass Effect Trilogy
Dante's Inferno
Mirror's Edge
Valkyria Chronicles
Final Fantasy 13 (I know, its got extremely bad combat: virtually no game-play as a mechanic, but its cutscenes, story & settings make it feel like an adventure film. I didn't mind it).

I can't be bothered to do a favourite N64 & Sega Megadrive (Genesis) console game list. I've typed too much all at once already lol XD.

PS3 is the clear choice. Although the Genesis also makes a good case. Plenty of good games on both of those systems, and anyone who only owned on console during their generations would still have plenty of great games to play.

Vectrex, Master System, TurbographX, Neo-Geo, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii U, OUYA, so quite a list for me

Master System, if nothing else because Alex Kidd was a way better Sega mascot than Sonic has ever been
