In an alternative timeline it would have been the CD-I, 3DO, Pippin or the Jaguar.
But in the current timeline it's obviously Nintendo.

Nintendo obviously, I do think Sony will end up getting there with less devices though eventually.
Nintendo has at least two generations of head start and the past "Nintendoomed" moments of time didn't slow them down enough to cancel out their generational advantage. Not to mention, pretty much non-stop success in their handheld platforms since the debut of the GameBoy.
Nintendo probably but I'm curious about the impact of handhelds. Not that they shouldn't be counted, but rather how the switch compensates from a topline units sold perspective. Bottom line wise I'm sure the consolidation + higher prices is good for profits too.
Wonder if theres an indexed chart to launch of switch vs. Prior console generations handheld home pairs.

It's of course Nintendo they'll do that shit on the next console alone.
If you consider what's possible with cloud though, Microsoft has already won the race with xcloud being available on pretty much every device in the world with a web browser.

User Warned: Thread Whining
I'm sorry but this is a stupid question. Why did you make this thread?
I'm sure you've heard the term "home console" before. Have you considered why we specify "home"?
even take away Nintendo's first 11 years hardware sales, they'd still get there first.
Should be allowed to include pc gaming cause Nintendo gets the game boy behemoths
I didn't mean to imply it's the only reason.
Yeah, that would really make this comparison make sense and give us some good insight. MS gets a point for every PC sold regardless of the manufacturer because of windows, and everyone has played at least solitaire so these all are clear gaming platforms.
i have a few witty quips about this :-
- the wii was definitely more a just dance and yoga machine than a gaming platform. Even the smash community preferred the GameCube to it
- the joy of reaching the last card fireworks on solitaire is a gaming experience everyone should enjoy even at their 9-5
- even when you use a computer to "work" really you are just performing grind tasks to collect your stiped of Gil to pay back the mogul banks while dreaming of your next adventure. That's MMO AF
