'89 NES
'91 SNES
'92 Sega Genesis
'?? GameGear
'96 N64
'01 GCN
'04 PS2
'07 Wii

Favorite - probably SNES or N64, Wii will probably overtake this once some really good games come out.
Least - GameGear

 Edited to add PS2




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I have loved all the concoles I have had. Most recently I have been playing my Xbox 360 as I have only had it for a little over a week. I am still waiting for a new title that can really hold my interest on the Wii though I do still love playing it with my wife who has never played video games before I got it.

Game Gear
SNES
GBA

 Plan to buy a 360 soon, mostly to be able to play XBox games
since I never had an XBox and have only played XBox a few times.



1. NES
2. Game Boy
3. TurboGrafx-16
4. Game Gear
5. PS1
6. Game Boy Advance
7. Nintendo DS
4. PS3

I'm only counting systems I got when they were still "new". e.g. I got a Virtual Boy for $15 when someone found an old box of them at Walmart, and systems that were obsolete when I got them, like the Master System, Genesis, Atari 2600, etc.

After getting burned on the TurboGrafx-16 (it was pretty expensive with the CD addon, didn't didn't get many games, then NEC pulled out of the market), I was wary about buying new consoles. I got a PS1 after the popularity was pretty well established. Then for some reason I decided to get a PS3.

Hopefully the TG16 isn't a bad omen for my PS3 (expensive system with slower, yet massive game storage made by a large electronics Japanese manufacturer, much more popular in Japan than in the US).

Then again, it could also be good if I compare the TG16 to the 360 :) (inexpensive Core system with expensive addon for the additional storage medium, made by a company inexperienced with gaming, released a year before the Nintendo, which was the last to market and pulled way ahead of the others :)



Am I the only one who started with a generation 1 console...

1 Magnavox Odyssey 3000 (well, it was my dad's)
2 Atari 2600 (Pitfall!)
3 NES (Zelda)
4 N64 (Super Mario 64)
5 Xbox (Kotor)
6 Xbox 360 (Mass Effect, hopefully :) )

Well, I liked the NES best because of it's extensive game library, the n64's library sucked!

Also got c64, amiga and PC.
