In about the right order for home consoles and portables:
- NES - It was a Nintendo! All the cool kids had one. Actually, I think either the brother or sister wore the parents down to get one, no idea why they wanted one.
- Game Boy - See above
- SNES - It was the next Nintendo, why wouldn't I want one?
- Game Gear - the parents thought it would be a cool gift. I might have agreed with them if I could see the screen of the one game I owned for it.
- Playstation - FFVII
- N64 - It was the next Nintendo
- Playstation 2 - Tekken Tag, SSX Tricky, and it just seemed like a good idea.
- Gamecube - It was the next Nintendo.
- Game Boy SP - Too many GBA games come to mind to mention only a few. I think it was mainly for the retro remakes.
- XBox - Seemed like a good idea, boy was I wrong. I got Tetris Worlds, Counterstrike (bleh! Terrible version), and KotoR.
- Nintendo DS - Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, seemed like a good idea at the time (and actually was)
- Nintendo DS Lite - It was tits
- Nintendo Wii - Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Wii Sports, Excite Truck, Warioware: Smooth Moves, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- XBox 360 - Kameo, Dead Rising, Gears of War, and something else I can't remember off the top of my head.
- PS3 - It was free, wasn't any games I actually wanted.
