What's your favourite console generation?

The chat I had in the IRC during Sega Jukebox last night inspired me to make this topic.
So what's your favourate console generation? Mines is the 5th, Closley followed by the 6th.
I've had so many awesome memories with both eras, as for the 5th, I had a PS1, but my cousin had both a PS1 and an N64 (Lucky B*stard! lol), so I've had some great times playing those, I never own a saturn untill recently, and it's a great console, not as good as the PS1/N64 in my opinion, but still a fantastic console!
If you wanna be pedantic, like I do, you can include handhelds as well, I owned a Gameboy Color during the time I had the PS1, to this day, it's still my favourate handheld ever.
As for the 6th generation, I had a PS2 (Go ahead, shoot me!), I had a cousin who had a Gamecube, and another who had an Xbox, so, I have fond memories of all 3, although like the Saturn, I never had or even played a Dreamcast untill recently, and I love the thing to bits!
I had a Game Boy Advance, which was given to me by my cousin, I hated the fact you needed to constantly put it under the light just to see it, so I was exited when the SP came out, but I never got it, that is untill I got one from amazon a few years ago. Since It's from the same era, and that I have something close to a story involving it, I may as well include this as well: I never actually owned, or played an N-gage, but I remember seeing it on Toys R Us and I remember it being pretty expensive, kind of a shame, because I really wanted one, just for the THPS port, because at the time, I was a huge fan of the Tony Hawk games. I dunno, maybe I'll get one preowned from Amazon some day, if I get enough money.
So, what about you guys?
EDIT: This is a VERY minor problem, but I was putting the consoles in the poll in order of the european release dates (Which would explain why Gamecube comes after Xbox), and I just noticed the CD32 was after the 3DO, it should be the other way around, my bad.
