SNES, good memories, great games. I still have it to this day.

BTW, looking at a someone's first console (+ their age sometimes) you can tell to what current console they have loyalty.

Not for the 2600 folks. We've seen too many companies rise and fall to call allegiance to any one brand.

At one point or another, my favorite console has been produced by Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, or Microsoft. 

I think you're dead on.  The 2600 and older folks are usually beyond the grasp of brand loyalty, as

1) You kind of grow out of such things

2) There have been too many good games on too many consoles through all the generations that it would be nearly impossible at this point not to have stuck strictly to manufacturer forever and

3) I think people tend to gravitate towards what was popular in their youth

You're right because it's impossible to hang on to favorite franchises and consoles that do not exist any more.

Show me the franchise called asteroids, show me the franchise called 3D world runner, show me the franchise called kid icarus, show me the franchise called...

Well, you get the point.
