For me it went like this:

Atari 2600 (was my father's - there was never a time we didn't have a gaming system in the house)
GameBoy (parent bought for the family around '93 - I barely remember this)
SNES (parents got for me/my sister Christmas '96 - I was 7)
GBC (parent got for me/my sister brand new with Pokemon Christmas '98 - I was 9)
PS1 (bought with my own money in '99 - I was 10)
NES (inherited an aging cousin's NES that they no longer wanted in 2000)
GBA (was supposed to get for Christmas '02 but had to wait until Feb '03, didn't get Christmas that year due to bad grades)
Wii (bought 12:01 Nov, 19th 2006 with the money from my first summer job)
DS Lite (got the Triforce Special Edition in 2008 while in college)
DSi (bought I believe in 2009 mainly so I could semi-permanently lend my DS Lite to my sister)
PS2 & N64 (bought in 2010 to expand my gaming collection, I'd played on family/friends but didn't own them)
3DS (bought shortly after launch in 2011)
Wii U (bought on launch day November 18th 2012)
PS3 (bought in Feb 2013)

At several points I've also gotten into PC gaming (2000-2005 being the biggest time for me)

I'm seriously tempted to purchase the Pokemon X/Y 3DS XL special edition or maybe wait for the price to drop on it some maybe next year (hopefully)
I eventually want to pickup a PS Vita (for its and the PSP's games) but that will be probably 2015 or so.
I plan to weigh the PS4/XB1 and pick one of them up towards the end of the generation.

There won't be a price drop for that limited edition. It will sell out probably with in a month and then people will start charging 300+ for it. Trust me I did the same thing with the Fire Emblem 3DS and that was a used one and I still got 300 for it. So it's best to get it while retailers offer it for 199.

I meant a price drop on the regular 3DS XL, I know the special edition won't drop - I want it but I know in the long run a regular blue one will be basically the same thing in the long run (my Triforce DS Lite is nice but you don't see the special looks while playing it) and I don't really have the extra money right now so it would be credit card debt that I don't need more of :)

I am just curious and interested in doing a little survey. So I ask that people post what consoles they have owned in order of generation like so:

My past consoles:

Sega Genisis

N64

PS2, Gamecube

PS3

PS4

I got the PS2 before the Gamecube, so it came first (On the left) in that gen. How about you guys?!

May I borrow your time machine, good sir?

Ok I think I have enough data to come to a conclusion on something. On an IGN round table they were talking about what company has the upper hand and Colon came up with a great point: "In general, there is no such thing as console loyalty."

I think this thread has shown that this is correct. Almost all of us have hopped between brands at some point and back and forth. People buy the best product, not their favorite brand.

I didn't buy a PS3 because I love Sony and want to keep my PSN stuff. I wanted a future-proof console with all the bells and whistles: Blue Ray, HDD, Wifi, Bluetooth. To get the equivalent on Xbox I had to pay ~$500 and I still only had 20GB and no Bluetooth. So I got a PS3 a month after launch!

Same with PS4. It has the games I want, lets me upgrade the HDD, has bluetooth, Killzone, and it costs the least. No brand loyalty, just good products people.

P.S. I am not saying the Xbox One is not a better choice for some people. The point is the "Loyal Fanbase" argument needs to just die.
