Of a modern console - I still think the Dreamcast was
the best for its
time, Sega pulled the plug too early - it was a wonderful machine, great
(and fun!) games, tons of expansion and peripherals.

Yeah, the Dreamcast had loads of peripherals - light gun, arcade controller,
karaoke unit (Japan only), keyboard, Samba de Amigo marracas and Dance Dance
Revolution style mats to stand/dance on. Not to mention it was the first
games console to come with a built-in modem - though you could get a
Broadband adapator (BBA) in the US for it.
There are some great homebrew games, including Cool Herders and Feet Of
Fury, and games were made for it (homebrew and some official arcade ports)
up until atleast 2008 - 7 years after Sega officially stopped supporting it.
