I own lots more, but this is the breakdown of my top 10 in order of importance to me. 80's arcade games are my favorites, and Atari 5200 does it best.
PlayStation 2. Hate to admit this as a Sega fan...but it's number one in terms of how much I play it, the strength of its library and how useful it is. That system is the only DVD player I've ever owned, and I can play PSX games on it too. It was such a godsend to modern gaming that Sony's shameless over-hyping of it seemed unnecessary. My first PS2 has lasted eight years and counting. I gave it to my brother when I bought the slim version six years ago--also still working. I don't know why, because I abuse that DVD player without shame.
Dreamcast. One of the best systems of the 90's, right up there with the SNES and N64. In only 16 months of life in North America, Sega managed an excellent library with hits in almost every genre. Awesome controller, nifty VMU's, very cheap, and I liked the CD player. It's an awesome system that most players under 20 have never heard of...a real shame.
Genesis. The most complete system Sega ever released. They could have gotten still more out of it if SOJ hadn't cut its lifespan short to push the Saturn, but still a brilliant machine for its time with a comprehensive library.
Nintendo 64. Underappreciated by many, but forgotten by few.
Super Nintendo. It was great for RPGs and certain platformers, although there was a considerable quality dropoff when you got past its biggest hits.
