1. NES <---- Revolutionary gaming for its time and still my favorite to play today.
2. SNES <---- DKC, Mario RPG, Metroid, Zelda.  Would almost consider this #1.  Age before beauty though.
3. 64 <---- Mario 64 and Goldeneye help this for #3
4. Playstation <---- Resident Evil and Breath of Fire 3 & 4 is my main factor for this one.
5. Playstation 2 <---- FIFA Soccer, Tiger Woods, etc. Sports games were perfected on this system.

F*ckin' sanity effects...
I guess my personal 5 would be:

1) SNES - there are just too many classics, best game library all time
2) N64 - more because of nostalgic love, high school/college, probably the peak of the platformer, love those games
3) PS2 - this system just saw a lot of action on my shelf in that time period, the clear winner in its generation
4) GC - Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, and Wind Waker are a kind of holy trinity in my head, had some other good exclusives
5) PS3 - love the blu-ray drive and the interface with Netflix, Hulu, MLB.  It's my go-to these days for multi-platform games, though I had to wait like 4 years for the price to drop.

Honorable Mention - Xbox 360: I like this controller the best of any I've encountered, but I've had the RRoD too
Honorable Mention 2 - NES: it was my first system and had several great games, but I just don't like most of the games
HELLO!

Fine, fine.
Lay down some criteria and the list becomes easier, but overall, the ones that stick in my mind are
SNES: Power x Design x Marketshare x Cultural Impact/Longevity, this has to be one of the most well-roundedly successful consoles in history.  I'd equally accept PS1, PS2, or Gameboy in this slot, but my personal heart is in SNES.
TurboGrafx: Credit-card sized games, some of which fit to rival SNES and Genesis, but more contemporary to the late NES era.  That alone is a jaw-dropper.  Also, I do believe, the first console to get a CD upgrade.  If only it didn't price itself out of the market...
WonderSwan: THE crowning achievement of the great Gunpei Yokoi, the vision behind NES, GameBoy, and VirtualBoy.  While Yokoi was known for his approach of applying inexpensive and available end-of-life tech in exciting new ways (thus defining the philosophy which Nintendo pursues to this day), the WonderSwan takes that to minimalist excellence.  Processing to rival the SNES, a display (albeit grayscale) not matched until Gameboy Advance, the multiple-orientation capacity of Lynx, support for external modules ranging from a link cable to a fish finder, and all in a package defined at its thickest point by the need to fit a single AA battery.  And produced in such numbers that (at least while I was there) Japanese vintage stores have walls of the basic units for ~$5.  Also, one of the few competitors to Nintendo to get serious support from the likes of Capcom and Squaresoft.  Still miffed this one never made it to the US.  Still haven't made up my mind on whether making the headphone jack an optional accessory was genius or insane.
Saturn: Oh, SEGA.  You did such... things... in the day.  While Saturn was likely the first decisive step of your eventual faceplant, it's still one heck of a package if evaluated as what it was intended to be.  The most detailed 2D arcade-style games on Saturn weren't matched until PS2; even when the chipset was torqued around to hack out 3D graphics, the results were competitive with its contemporary 3D-dedicated peers; and poor NiGHTS didn't see a sequel until Wii.  Even if I will allow skirmishing down to the hour-of-store-shelf-appearance of whether Saturn was the first console with analog (as opposed to N64), it was at least the first analog controller I could play for extended time without ripping a hole in my thumb, and indeed, the Saturn analog ball, and its successor, the Dreamcast pad are among the most comfortable controllers I've ever held.
NES: Deserves mention.  Yes, the games; yes, the memories; yes, all the usual reasons plus the fact that I can personally hack and homebrew it.  But more importantly, NES is the system that put its toe back in the water after the Great Crash (see: thousands of E.T. cartridges dumped in the desert, and Purina Dog Chow Chuck Wagon the Video Game, etc.) and proved to the whole industry that, when pursued by quality developers and at reasonable prices with a solid infrastructure, gaming could in fact be popular and profitable again.

I run for fun :)
Based solely on what I've played and nostalgia:

1. Playstation (Final Fantasy series- 8 was the best of them. Yeah. I said it. And I love 7, 9, and Tactics as well. Spyro and Crash series. Star Ocean 2. Breath of Fire 4. The Legend of Dragoon. Crash Team Racing. Tekken 3.)

2. Playstation 2 (Final Fantasy 10+12+12: Zodiac. Resident Evil 4. Okami. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Devil May Cry 3. Prince of Persia: TWW. Kingdom Hearts 1+2+Re:Com- KH3!!! Burnout 3- might have provided the most crazy-fun I've ever had playing a video game. Burnout Revenge. Rouge Galaxy- found it at a used book store of all places for $13 like new with the guide for like $5. Regret not buying the guide, but of what I've played, the game is awesome. Tekken Tag Tournament. Beyond Good and Evil. Kya: Dark Lineage. Maximo series. Dragon Quest 8. Valkyrie Profile 2. Flat Out 2. Jak series. Ratchet series. Star Wars: Battlefront- BF3!!!)

3. DS (A lot of great games. The standout to me being Rune Factory.)

4. Genesis (Sonic series, except Spinball. Spinball can go to hell. Golden Axe series. Phantasy Star series.)

5. Xbox 360 (Halo 3- my first online multiplayer game. CoD series- used to be practically addicted, but the frustration it's caused me has turned me off of it almost completely. Now I rarely even play it with friends. Red Faction: Guerrilla. Dead Space 1+2. Resident Evil 5- doesn't even compare to 4, but I enjoyed it enough. Resident Evil 6- nah, I'm just messin' with ya. Resident Evil: Revelations- better than 5+6, but I still don't care for the lack of typewriters, briefcase, and the way the story jumps around. Metal Gear Rising. Bioshock. Assassin's Creed series. GTA 4. A bunch of others :P)

I've played amazing games on consoles that didn't make this list though. Some of them easily make my top 10, like Chrono Trigger and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Funny story: I wanted a Nintendo 64 for Christmas back in the day. My dad decided I would get a PS1 instead, even though he knew I wanted an N64. I obviously wasn't very happy at first, but it didn't take very long for me to warm up to the console I was stuck with. Best gift I didn't want ever. All my friends had N64's anyway, so I had the best of both worlds to an extent Smiley
1. PlayStation
2. NES
3. PlayStation 2
4. Game Boy Advance
5. Gamecube

I chose these because there's too many games that I like on each of these systems. If I had to live with 5 game consoles, these are the ones.

No.1 was easy to pick, the rest were pretty difficult to sort through, a lot of choices for No.5, but I've played more than enough PS2 to earn it a spot on the list.

Just going by nostalgia and my own personal preferences:

1) Gamecube
2) N64
3) DS
4) Wii
5) GBA

I grew up with Nintendo, like a lot of people, and my first console was the N64, so I don't have much attachment to the SNES or other consoles in that gen and the ones before it.
