Ooh, that's a tough call... I really can't say I have a single favorite, best I can do is say a favorite per generation:
Pong - the one that started it all. Also taught everyone about screen burn in.
Atari 2600 - Hands down, one of the all time greats.
NES - Hard to beat Super Mario 3, but my favorite game of this generation was Phantasy Star on the Sega Master System.
Sega Genesis - Sorry, the SNES never grabbed me, although Super Star Wars was a great game. Best home version of Street Fighter II was on the Turbo Grafx/Duo of all things.
Playstation - Another all time great.
As much as I love the Dreamcast, it was murdered pre-maturely by Sega. Xbox and Halo just demolished everything else. I don't know that we ever got an official "Halo Killer" until it suicided with Halo Infinite.
Xbox 360 - Sony handicapped itself with the overly complex cell processor. Games just weren't as good as the 360.
PS4 - In this case, Microsoft handicapped itself by fundamentally misunderstanding why people buy consoles. It's to play games, not "tv, tv, tv, tv, tv, sports, tv, tv, tv."
I like your comment.
360? Guess you didn't enjoy any red rings of death.
I was so late to the 360 game i got the last gen console they made. Fucker was slim and quiet and currently still going strong, but the disc tray occasionally misbehaves. God the fan on that first one though omg
That's a hardware problem, not software, and fixable. PS3 had a similar issue:
