Since I like Sega games but not really MS ones I will go with Dreamcast even if almost didn`t play it.

Dreamcast itself was starting to get PC ports with the most notable being Quake 3 which even had cross platform support with PC and a vastly improved version of Half Life which was completed but the release canned when Sega halted DC production.

Lol, they sold guide books in stores for the Dreamcast version of Half-Life. So it wasn't just complete it was gold. Even Stadium Events got to shelves for a single day. Hell the DC version had exclusive levels.

"Vastly improved"? Minor differences, some for better, some for worse:

The PC screens you used are from the after the HD patch is applied which was released with Blue Shift in 2001 3 years after the first release the original PC release was this.

The fact the unfinished DC version holds up to the patch released with the expansion 3 years later actually backs what I said, the patch was released to bring the improvements to the PC version.

I got only one PS2, and it never failed on me. How do you handle your consoles?

@OP: I got an X-Box when Shenmue 2 came out, and I got to try Halo that came with, and I got into Fable. But it eventually started to amass dust. 
The Dreamcast on the other hand, I played the heck out of it. I was still into arcade games quite a bit back then, and arcade game ports on that console were near flawless, when they weren't improved. Then there was Sega's unmatched content output, all great and unique titles. And to top it all off, Shenmue, a game far ahead of its time, regardless if you enjoyed it or not.

Really, the Dreamcast remained the console I spent the most money on prior to the advent of digital editions. Which, considering the very short life of the console, is saying a lot.

I mentioned going through three PS2s on Facebook (and two PS1s) and people actually blamed me. Some people are lucky I guess or didn't use their consoles as much as I did. I think I had over 100 PS1 games and close to 200 PS2 games. The consoles just weren't well made. That's one of the reasons I switched to Xbox 360 before getting a PS3 several months later. I didn't want to spend $600 on a console from a company that had a history of defective consoles.

That didn't go well. One year later, my Xbox got the RRoD!

Seven seems like a bit much but I take excellent care of my hardware and it still broke. My nephew was one of the few that got a launch PS2 but the fan didn't work right out of the box. We would get one round of Tekken Tag in before it overheated! He wound up sending it back in for repairs.

Maybe later models were more reliable.

Maybe I've always been lucky. The only console that died on me was my Xbox 360. RRODed twice on me. The first time, I was "ok, they said it was a manufacturing defect, so I'll send it for repair and endure". The second time it RRODed, I said screw that, bought a PS3 and never looked back. Sucked, considering I went into that gen with a 360 first, because of games like Lost Odyssey and Fable 2, two of my all time favorite games. When the XBox One announced that they were going to push backward compatibility, I considered getting one, but so few of its exclusive games interested me, so I kept pushing that purchase away. The Series X will finally be the console that make me jump back into the XBox side of gaming. Hopefully, it'll be a good gen for their first party output.

Arcade ports though were a bigger part of its identity for me though, while for Xbox it was PC ports. So the two never felt alike at all for me in terms of vibe. Gamecube actually felt closer to the Dreamcast for me, and Xbox closer to PS2, though of course still distinctly different.

Yeah PS2 had a rep for the era of failing a lot. Lol, I knew a regional manager of Gamestop in 2006 who said why he would not buy a PS3. He had 3 fal on him so he was going to buy an Xbox 360. This is just before the RROR was well known. Oh boy, he had no clue.
