1. N/A
2. Atari 2600 - Parents bought one
3. N/A
4. SEGA Mega Drive - 1st console. Fond memories of this one. SNES was objectively better but never bought one.
5. PlayStation - Introduced some of my favourite series for video games
6. PlayStation 2 - Expansive library. So many good titles and memories with friends
7. PlayStation 3 - Really high quality games, online play good stuff
8. PlayStation 4 - Slowed down a bit with games, but still enjoyable, none the less

Also Switch is generation 9.

Mostly my tastes are in line with the mass market.

Gen 1 - Never played any of these systems
Gen 2 - Atari 2600
Crash Generation - Never owned any of these systems, but I did play them at friends' houses. Colecovision was the best console, but the C64 was better than that.
Gen 3 - NES
Gen 4 - SNES (Genesis was a very close second)
Gen 5 - PS1
Gen 6 - PS2
Gen 7 - Wii and PS3 tied (both were great)
Gen 8 - Wii U and PS4 tied (both sucked)
Gen 9 - Switch

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
