PlayStation Vita. It was the fame system that could, but has no support, then was saved by indis.

Has very little use now-a-days thanks to switch and steam deck, but as a easy to mod system with PS1, and PSP support, I still love it.

3DS.

Though I didn't have many - GBA, Wii, 3DS, and now Steam Deck. The Deck is much better in a vacuum, but the 3DS just offers an experience you couldn't get via emulation or ports. Even if it's just the dual screen, it looks better as seperate physical screens than what emulators do on single display devices.

With the Deck, I just got it as an alternative to buying a new gaming laptop. Years from now, I'll be able to replace my SD with another Steam, or even non-Steam handheld PC, but once I lose my 3DS and functioning second-hand ones run out too, that experience is gone, and even 3rd party emulation machines will probably lack features.

Gamecube, dreamcast, ps2.

The Wii U, still upset that it was abandoned.

For me Snes, PSP and the original PlayStation.

Just a nostalgia thing really but they did all have great games. Only console I currently own is a Vita and I mostly just play my old PSP favourites on it.

The PlayStation 3. It did everything: games, movies, music, streaming, online gaming, all in arguably the coolest looking console ever.

I'm still a little upset the whole boomerang controller idea never came back, though...

PS3 is also by far the coolest console to cfw. Being able to run and backup all my PS1/PS2 games and my Blu-Rays; FTP support so you can send and recieve files from LAN is really cool.
