I would say the best console ever was the Nintendo 64. It had perhaps the best game ever, The Legend of Zelda Ocerina of Time. Not only that game but had many other great games including, Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, Donkey King 64, Majoras Mask, Goldeneye,  Perfect Dark, Pokemon Stadium, and Super Smash Bros(theres probably more great games besides thoose but thats just off the top of my head). It had a werid controller design with the 3 handel things. I didnt see the point to the handel to the left because you hardly ever used it. But other than that it wasn't a bad controler, it controled well and u got used to it pritty quickly. Games were 64bit and that was great at the time. Even though with games like Gears of War and Resistance Fall of Man out now with just amazing graphics i still think the N64 has goodish graphics. So the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console ever and though it might not be yours I think it's safe to say it is a great system with great games.
