It's never too late to add beer.

If you'd seriously pick a DS over 8 of the systems listed, you're fucking retarded.

DS easily over: Saturn, Super NES, Wii, Xbox, and though I hate to say it probably NES as well. Genesis doesn't have enough games with re-playability, but it's still tough to pick one over the other there. PC's only real worth is emulation, but for that reason I'll give it a pass.

PC because I can play all of those except the very modern ones, 360 for the modern ones I care about and just for the Arcade. Genesis if the other two crap out.

See, you're nuts, and you still didn't claim it was better than 8 of the 10.

This failure concept is taking this more realistically than I intended. I would say the two viable choices are...

A. PC, PS3 (60 GB w/ Emotion Engine), and J360

or

B. PC, PS3 (60 GB w/ Emotion Engine), and Wii

And it comes down to whether you prefer the 360/Xbox BC exclusives or the Wii/GC exclusives. And that's actually a harder choice than I initially thought, because the 360 exclusives are basically Gears of War 2 and Death Smiles. So it's those two against Nintendo's first party games. And that's only obviously with a J360.

Wii emulation is coming along pretty well.

[Yoshi]

That would simplify things.

For some reason my eyes skipped over PC so I'm changing my picks.
360
PC
60 gig PS3 (cuz I'm gunna wanna watch movies and occasionally play Xenogears).

Actually I'd be just fine with only a PC and Civilization 4 for the rest of time.

I would likely pick the Wii/GC's exclusives over the 360/XB ones but I would have to analyze it a while and play some of the J360 games I haven't tried yet. Is DC Shenmue II properly emulated on PC? If not, that's a big one for me for the Xbox side.
