For me it has to be the PS2 , closely followed by either the Mega Drive or SNES.
All three are retro now but imo still hold up today and offer such a wide variety of games , I have been playing loads on all three in lockdown and they have kept me sane.
Anyone else have an alternative favourite?

Gamecube for me, Nintendo's first party offerings were amazing for that generation.

GameCube was such an underated console , Pikmin was an amazing game as was Wave race.

Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
Gran Turismo 3 & 4
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & 4
Grand Theft Auto Vice City & San Andreas
Even if it had nothing else, the PS2 would win from those games alone.

I had that San Andreas. Know how much I managed to complete? About 1%
Try a mission, something would go wrong, then I’d end up in a 25 min rampage Shooting cops, civilians, smashing everything. . Try again same..And again
In the end just went straight to rampage every time I played.. Get 5 Cop stars and nick a tank escape before that gets totaled nick a plane, etc.. literally did nothing but be an utter caaant in that game

I completed the game, but probably 90% of my time was dicking around in the Hydra jet, fighting helicopters and other jets. There was actually AI-programmed dogfighting in the game. There was an obscene amount of depth to that game. GTA IV remains one of the biggest disappointments I've ever played. Going from San Andreas to that was a colossal step backwards.
The focus on making games deep rather than pretty graphics is what makes the PS2 my favourite console. Crazy details in MGS2, like shooting a fire extinguisher would make powder come out, which could then make Raiden sneeze and attract guards. Or the diazepam trick with E.E., or the ice cubes, or the pots and pans all producing a different note when shot.

Loool wtf. If I was a prosecution lawyer i’d use this to get you sent down for any violent crime charges, it would convince everyone you’re a psychopath

PS2 followed closely by PS4. Could easily be vice versa but for now PS2 edges it as it brought games into the modern era with twin camera controls and way less of the clunky mechanics that a lot of PS1 could be burdened by. Franchises that others have mentioned took on a whole new lease of life as well as brand new series having a first outing before continuing on the PS3 and PS4. in built DVD player also a huge bonus.
PS4 as an overall package though has been fantastic and has loads of life left in it. Everything you want in one place.

Nintendo ds.
Tje light version is similarly put the best hand held console ever to exist.
Was backward comparable with gba games meaning you got two in one and as a result had an amazing array of games to play.
