I'd guess there is a bit of primacy AND recency effects going on here but for what it's worth:

1) Sega Genesis/Sega CD. Too many games I enjoyed on this system to even count.
2) 360: reliability issues aside this is the first console to truly integrate great single player AND multiplayer games (IMO).
3) Dreamcast. The only older gen system I have never sold, and never will. If wide-spread support for the Dreamcast had lasted longer, this may have been #1.
4) Super NES. Played the HELL out of this in college, whilst drinking and preparing to go out.
5) Playstation 2: I think the marketing of this system was ridiculously over-hyped...however even though the "emotion engine didn't produce toy-story graphics" or the analog buttons allow for 256 levels of input, it did have a stellar line-up of quality games.

My other shout-outs would go to the Odyssey 2 and PC's from the Vic-20 on.

Console: Nintendo Gamcube
Handheld: Nintendo DS

1: Ps2- it excelled in every category. Even to this day it can outsell next gen systems on occasion and still houses exclusive hits.

2: SNES. The SNES perfected what the NES started. The 16 bit gaming era was revolutionized by this console.

3: Ps1. When nintendo struck down the agreement with Sony to make CD based technology for the SNES, Sony became more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Not only was it the first system to ever reach 100m systems sold- it did it all with style. The ps1 gave us hits like FFVII and gran turismo.

4. Xbox. Though it lived in the shadow of the ps2- it did lay the groundwork for something big. Xbox live transformed the newcomer into a powerhouse; all consoles now have some version of this ground breaking feature.

5. DS (if handhelds count). What can be said that isn't already known? The DS uses two screens, it's backwards compatible, it has a microphone, stellar graphics, and houses some of the best selling and recognized games this generation. With games being at roughly $30 USD, it's hard to pass up such an offer.

What do you mean? He said "I hope" not "You have to". Doesn't seem like strict guidelines to me.
