If by "best" you mean "most technically powerful," the answer is the PlayStation 3. If you mean "best-selling," the answer is the PlayStation 2. If you mean "currently best-selling," it's the Nintendo DS.

If, however, you mean "most influential," an argument could be made for many video game consoles. One could call the Magnavox Odyssey the best for being the first home video game console, the Atari 2600 for being the most popular early console to use cartridges, or the NES for arguably bringing the home console industry back from the brink. The Game Boy was one of the first handheld game systems, and the most popular at the time. The Sega Genesis and SNES brought graphics into the 16-bit realm, and The Nintendo 64 and PlayStation could be said to be the first game consoles to enjoyably utilize 3D graphics. The DS brought the touch screen into popularity, as the Wii did with motion control.

None of that is really what you meant, though, right? You probably mean "the most enjoyable console to play," and there is no right answer to that question (though it could be said that there are some wrong ones). It depends on what genre of games you like, whether you like single- or multi-player games, whether graphics matter to you, how you like to play games, and what memories you have of a particular console, among other things. Just weigh all the options and decide for yourself.
