What are you top 5 consoles of all time? Can be home or handheld, mine are as follows,

1- Xbox 360- The console I have spent the most time playing since 2007 with games like GTA IV, Gears Of War 1 & 2, Crackdown and with the kids Toy Story 3
2- Sega Megadrive- I got this console for Christmas in 1990 (I was 5) and this was my main console all the way until 2001, a massive part of my childhood.
3- Nintendo Gamecube- In my opinion this is the best home console Nintendo ever made, still have plenty of family fun playing on this today.
4- Sega Dreamcast- I didn't own this console during it's lifespan but my uncle did so I would play on it every time I went to his house and years later owned my own.
5- Nintendo Game Boy Advance- The greatest handheld console of all time, some of the games on this console have no right to look as good as they do.
 
1: Playstation One
I love this console and it's library is strange, creative, absurd, unconventional and are just a delight to explore every single time. I never got to own one growing up - skipped to the PS2 era sadly, but I sure wish I could have lived a childhood with one. Making up for that these days!

2: Nintendo Gamecube
My favourite system as a kid, it had all my favourite kind of Nintendo games, the weird & creative ones that also possess a streak of being strangely dark or had elements and aspects to its story and narrative that are missed in their modern system.

3: Nintendo DS
I love the library so much, I was practically inseparable from my turquoise DS lite and took it everywhere. What else am I to do with my life when secondary school is having us watch a movie? Ascend Sky Tower in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon of course, and also sneak in a hour or three of gametime when I should have been sleeping in for school the next day. It feels like the system that hits the closest to home for when I'm nostalgic for being a kid.

4: Xbox 360
This is a console I owe a lot for and it's a milestone for so many unique things that happened. It was the console that got me into true RPG's thanks to Blue Dragon, the first console I started to play online games in Halo and all those sorts.

I don't really have a fifth favourite, but a honourable mention does go to the Nintendo 64, I spent a lot of time on its games, but I remember recovering from a bad illness in hospital, and a genuinely sweet nurse bought in the N64 cabinet in the rec room for me to play while I was confined in bed. The console reminds me of those times.
