A tough call between a Gamecube W/GBA or a DS W/GBA (Both basically the same experience), or a PS3 with backwards compatibility with PS2 and PS1 (Like the one I have).
It's a tough call, PS3 with full backwards compatibility has a huge library of games, but lacks my Mario and Zelda fix.

Can I duct tape a Gamecube to a PS3?

Hypothetical situations are hard.

I would keep my Retron 5! Yay! I beat the system!

That's it damnit.  The next person to try and beat the system gets NOTHING!

In fact, they have to send me all their systems and games.   ;D
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

If I am truly limited to one, I would go with the Xbox 360. 
It was my console of choice the previous gen, and I am addicted to Achievement hunting.  So if I could never play another console, at least I have a library of hundreds of games where I could just rack my gamerscore up ridiculously high.

would a supergun count? all the arcade classics without emulators...
or my consolised MVS? games the same as AES but cheaper...

if we can only have a console made by a major company, sega, nintendo etc. then i would have to pick the SNES, so many classics on that!

I'm not familiar with the Supergun.  I didn’t really envision arcades, but sure why not.

However, I would have counted the consolised MVS for sure.

Nope! An emulator is software. The Retron 5 is indeed hardware that uses an emulator. See the difference? Ok, if the Retron 5 is eliminated from this equation, then Retron 3. It has the actual chipsets. Yay! Fight the power!

quoting from wikipedia;

"A SuperGun (or super gun) is a device used to play arcade games in lieu of requiring a full arcade cabinet. Arcade games typically are designed to be used in a universal cabinet design. The supergun provides this universal interface in a greatly reduced size, allowing arcade games to be tested or enjoyed without needing the entire cabinet. Superguns frequently resemble video game consoles which plug into a television or monitor, and have detached joysticks and play arcade boards as if they were large cartridges. Some superguns are a large box with two arcade controllers side by side, resembling the top of a typical arcade cabinet.

A SuperGun contains the inner workings of a standard arcade videogame cabinet inside a small plastic or metal box. A SuperGun plugs in a JAMMA board and usually provides at least RGB output (the native output of arcade games) sometimes through an SCART connector. Since the SCART connector is not common on televisions in North America, frequently a supergun will also convert the RGB signal into NTSC composite video, S-video, Component Video or VGA signals, with varying degrees of quality."

I think Game Sack was using something like that once.  At least I remember them using these large boards to play on a regular TV. 

Based on that description, I would allow it as long as it isn't using emulation. ;D
