Xbox
GameCube
Playstation 2

In roughly that order I think.

Oddly I've never owned an NES although we rented it a lot back in the day (because you used to be able to rent consoles)

[Rantz]

Not counting PC:

Atari 2600
Gameboy
NES
Sega Game Gear (traded my NES for this, worst decision of my life)
Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for the yanks)
Nintendo 64
PlayStation
Nintendo DS/PlayStation 2 (can't remember which I got first)
Nintendo 3DS XL

[Shauna]

Also not counting PC, that has been pretty constant over the course of my life.

Playstation
Gameboy Advance
Playstation 2
Nintendo DS
Wii
Xbox 360
PSP (I never bought this, but I gained access to one when I started dating Mr. Shauna)
Nintendo 3DS
Playstation 3

[Ayen]

Nintendo 64
Sony PlayStation
Game Boy Color
Nintendo Gamecube
PlayStation 2
Game Boy Advance
Xbox 360

Not 100% sure if PS2 and GBA are in the right order...

[Agent Proto]

I (or my brothers) had owned the following at some point.

Atari 2600
NES
SNES
Sega Genesis
Nintendo 64
Game Boy
Dreamcast
PlayStation
GameCube
PlayStation 2
Game Boy Advance
DS
Wii
PSP
XBox 360
PlayStation 3
3DS
PC

[escobert]

Do we do system we actually owned or ones that were readily available for play? I lived with separated parents and lots of step brothers who owned systems but I never did.

So for myself it would go:
Mac
Gameboy
PSone
N64
PC
PS2
Gamecube
xbox
DS
PS3


I was able to play these since step brothers owned them
NES
SNES
Genesis
Sega CD

[escobert]

I loved playing Marathon 1 & 2, Wolfenstein 3D, Sim City, Math Blaster Mystery, Sim Ant, Sim Earth, Full Throttle, DIG, CLose Combat and so many more. I still have a ton of them. I used macs from probably 1989 until MACOS 8.6 then they went to 9 and I went to PCs.

[Slothy]

I've owned at some point or another:

NES
SNES
Genesis
N64
PSX
PS2
Dreamcast
Gamecube
PS3
Wii
Game Boy
GB Color
GBA
PSP
DS

and I presently have access to a 3DS though it's not mine. And of course there's the PC. I've had one constantly with various operating systems since we were all running DOS. I haven't been without a PC since the third grade maybe.

Right now I've really got the urge to buy a PC-Engine too.

[Denmark]

NES
SNES
GB
N64
GBC
GCN
PS1 (obtained in 2011)
Wii (obtained in 2013, own zero games, use as combination Netflix machine/Gamecube)
3DS

I've played Genesis, GBA, and DS games on emulator (along with games from most of the above systems), and of course I've played PC games just like everyone else here.

[Del Murder]

NES
Gameboy
PC (Tandy)
SNES
Nintendo 64
PC (A real one)
Gameboy Advance
PS2
Wii
Nintendo DS
PS3
PSP
3DS

I was pretty Nintendo loyal for a long time. Once I went to college I got a PS2 so that I could play both PS1 and PS2 games. I've been on the Sony wagon ever since.

I have a feeling I'm leaving something out, but I think this is pretty much everything. It's also close to the order I acquired the systems, but I couldn't remember the order for sure on some of them.

[Slothy]

The Dreamcast really is the best system, but after playing PC-Engine titles with a friend almost everyday for the fall, I must say I think it may come in a solid second.

[Calliope]

In acquisition order, not production order:

Sega Master System II
SC-3000 (http://segaretro.org/SC-3000#Australia_and_New_Zealand)

Game Boy
Game Boy Colour
Playstation (PSone)
Game Boy Advance SP

[Endless]

I'm not gonna list PCs, that would be silly (I personally own(ed) at least 6 PCs and 5 laptops, screw getting the order right, 2 PCs and 3 laptops (+work issued macbook) are less than 10 meters from me right now).

Not counting handhelds.

[Rocket Edge]

NES

Up next; PS4.

[Pike]

Not counting handhelds.

Everyone should count handhelds.

[AssassinDX]

For sure, PC's not so much as everyone has probably owned several in their lifetime but handhelds most definitely fall under the console umbrella.

[Loony BoB]

Ownership means I can't include my neighbour's consoles, which I often relied on. :p I grew up on PCs, so have thrown them in... can't hurt.

PC (186/DOS)
PC (286/DOS/3.11)
PC (386/DOS/3.11)
PSX
PC (486/DOS/95)
PC (Windows ME)
PC (Windows XP)
PS2
360
PS3
PSP
GBA
DS
PC (Windows 7)

My neighbours were the ones who owned Master Systems, Mega Drives and Nintendo 64's during those times and I would regularly play on them, buuuuuut I never owned my own one.

We had other handhelds but they weren't major consoles... they only had in-built games, no cartridges.

[Ayen]

My brother was the one who owned the NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast that I got to play and/or watch him play on. I don't remember much about the Saturn and only a couple games stand out from the Dreamcast. NES and the Genesis is where most of my childhood moments come from before I started to own my own consoles.

So many twos...

[Elskidor]

I have no clue when I got my first PC or how many I have gone through.

WTH is this?

Pleb detected!

[Bolivar]

I went from NES to Genesis/Megadrive to PlayStation and stuck with the brand through all 4 iterations. I also bought a N64 and Gamecube towards the end of each respective life cycle. I gamed on Mac very early on but have been PC since first getting one in the mid-late 90s.

On the handheld front I had one of the fat original Gameboys, then a Gameboy Color. I skipped the GBA but bought a DS when the Lite version came out and a 3DS earlier this year. I checked out the Sony side when the PSP Go released in 2011 and just got a Vita two weeks ago.

Buy a coaxial splitter thing and connect it to your TV's antenna input thing, then search for the NES "channel" with your TV afterwards.

[LocoColt04]

Can I buy your extra 3ds xl?You talking #27? It's a red one that I sold off to a friend when I bought the Pikachu one. Sorry, or I totally would send it your way.
