Sorry, I'd have to say the PC. The sheer flexibility of it - you can even play games from all the others on it!

Very, very, very tough. The first Playstation was truly awesome in its impact on the gaming world. The Xboxes have become more impressive than the Playstations in their range of games. Pre-Jaguar (pre-Lynx, really), Atari were mighty - but they lost it. I'd have to say it comes down to a close battle between Sega and Nintendo, just like the old days. 
The Super Nintendo and N64 had some fantastic games, and the NES certainly had more memorable games than the Master System - but Master System AND Megadrive AND Saturn AND (much under-used) Dreamcast AND Game Gear AND Sonic the Hedgehog? Sega just about win for me - a victory of cool over technicality. Perhaps also a reflection of the fact that the first 'real' games system I played (I'm disregarding the likes of the Atari 2600) was the Master System. Good times with my younger brother. Fond memories. And that makes all the difference.

That's also how I feel. My stepbrother and I had fun times on Nintendo and PC, so I'd pick both platforms as favorites. But if I had to choose one as "greatest" it would have to be the PC. As Rigel said, the sheer flexibility of it simply cannot be rivalled.CovenantJr wrote:Good times with my younger brother. Fond memories. And that makes all the difference.

Me n' my younger brother have many fond memories too...particularly with Mario RPG and Shadowrun (Gen) we'd switch off playing the same game until we beat it... and Twisted Metal 2...ahh, 100 plus hours of brotherly carnage...would still play it today if I had it...or TM:Black...
