Are we looking for controllers? I think Sony has it hands down...
wow, IMO Sony has the worst controller design and i can't believe they're still using it after all of these years. 3rd generation, same controller design...
Fighting games - the best controller is the Saturn's, but that's because i love Capcom games [ the Vs series in particular ], so i need my 6 button layout.
FPS games - the Duke controller, i.e. Xbox's fat controller. fits well in your hands [ unless you're a midget ] and all the buttons are easily reachable.
Flying/Sports games - Xbox's small controller. worked great with Crimson Skies and responsive to any sports game.
Puzzle/Laid back games - Gamecube. works very well with games like Bust A Move or even games like Mario Strikers.

but back to the OP's original statement, if you're talking about handhelds it's the DS Lite > PSP.
the UMD media is dead; retail stores have begun taking UMD movies off the shelves. they're overpriced and you can only use them on the PSP.
