So I was thinking about what my favorite game console is overall, and I am actually kind of surprised by my own answer. So I'm interested to see what yours is, and how you came to that conclusion.
Note that I would not count PC as a valid choice, as it does not cover a specific generation of gaming.
After a lot of thought, I came to the conclusion that my pick would be the Nintendo Gamecube. I really wanted to give it to N64 or Snes, as I have great memories when them.... but ultimately looking back, it has gotta be the GameCube.
The cube was the first system I bought out of my own pocket, as well as my first release day purchase. The controller remains my favorite to this day, and it has got the most play time in by far. I can't count the hours me and my friends would play Super Smash Bros. Melee. Not to mention other greats like Super Monkey Ball, Soul Calibur 2 (w Link!), Naruto GNT 4, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Strikers.... the list could go on and on. Also, Zelda Four Swords Adventures was one of my personal favorite gaming memories. Pac-Man VS was also pretty sweet.
The system and controller were sleek, stylish, and durable, yet in a very unique and bizarre way. Not to mention the portability of the system. It was also the first system I used to Import Japan only titles, which was a lot of fun.
Last but not least.... the single player experiences were top notch as well. There were so many that I loved, but to list a few that really stick out.... Tales of Symphonia, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Animal Crossing, and Metroid Prime(s). I didn't have a PS1 or Dreamcast, so I was happy to be able to enjoy some of the classics I missed out on remade for the Gamecube. Such as Skies of Arcadia, Sonic(s), Resident Evil, and Metal Gear Solid.
Ultimately, Nintendo 64 is a very close second place though!
