My first ever console was a gift on Christmas of 1995, a Sega Genesis, the very first model that released in America at the age of 7 or 8 because the only game I can remember is playing Mortal Kombat the day my step dad passed his Genesis to me and my sisters. Then I think a year later we got another Sega Genesis but it was the 2nd revision (1996) and that came with the Genesis console and 6-Pak with 6 Genesis games:
My next console was a gift on Christmas 1997 at the age of 10 I received a Playstation and a GameBoy Color. Then on May of 2000 I got a Nintendo 64 along with Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap.
I then got a PS2 on the Christmas of 2002 with Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai. As for the Xbox and Gamecube, I bought those on my own seperately used at Gamestop for $30 each last year (2008)
The first console I bought personally was a Xbox 360 in summer of 2007 and I bought a PSP Slim in October of 2007 and then December of 2007 I bought a 80GB PS3 MotorStorm bundle. Then May 2008 I bought the Nintendo Wii and a NDS but I cannot remember the actual month. That was the last console purchases
It's crazy how this thread had me rethink how I got my consoles in the first place. It took me like an half and hour
Edited reason: added when I got my PS2 in my post
