It feels odd seeing people say that they moved specifically from one system in a generation, specifically to another system in the next generation, specifically to another single console in the following generation.

I grew up this way:
NES + SNES -> N64 + PS1 -> Gamecube + Xbox + PS2 -> PS3 + 360 + (for a short time) Wii -> PS4 (relatively recent purchase) + PC

For handhelds, it was more like:
GBA -> DS + PSP -> 3DS + Vita

I've sampled the best of all worlds as much as I've desired to in each generation, and I've had a wide scope of experiences thanks to it. I can't imagine chaining myself to a single console because of brand loyalty or otherwise. I've always just gone to where the games are that I thought sounded interesting, and I've found myself to be surprisingly resourceful in the past to play what I wanted despite growing up poor.

Sure, if you have the main consoles in each generation, it's hard to collect a huge collection of games for each unless you live a relatively financially stable life, but you don't need a huge collection. You just need a collection of the f that you want to play.

When I was a child I felt I could only really support one console at a time, however since Gen 5 I have owned all consoles except GC. Just when I was young I had one at a time, because I couldn't afford games all the time
