I never owned a console.
Atleast I dont consider the Commodore machines to be consoles. Well maybe the Amiga CD32 or whatever it was called, but never even thought of getting that.
anyways.. just thought I'd chime in to let you know not all of us had consoles back in the day.
1) Nintendo Entertainment System
2) Gameboy
3) Super Nintendo Entertainment System
4) Sega Genesis
5) Nintendo 64
6) Gameboy Color
That ends the consoles that I have owned! I have never bought a console and received them always as a Christmas or birthday gift. My money was spent on the games themselves. However, my flatmate that I was living with before I left the U.S. had a PS3 and X-Box 360 which I played both infrequently (mainly for AC series, Dragon Age, ME series, and shooters). I like computer gaming for only RPGs, and mainly MMOs at that unless we go back to the work of Black Isle Studios, i.e. Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, those RPGs should only ever be on PCs!
Guess I need to break out the list....
1985: Tandy Color Computer 2 - Technically a home microcomputer, but it would be considered a console by today's standards.
1988: Atari 7800 - I had enough money to buy a NES with no games or a 7800 with five games. Can't say that I didn't regret my choice a time or two, but I also got to play some pretty sweet arcade ports and the legnedary Ballblazer.
1990: NES - Techincally, I didn't own this one. The machine actually belonged to my (then) four year old little brother. It was a gift from a friend of the family, but I ended up spending the most time with it.
1992 - 1994:
Gameboy - Got the first one as a graduation present and went through three of them over the next two years.
Game Gear - I remember handing over a half a weeks pay to the woman and Babbages and she handed me back a nickel. This was during my first liberty out of ATD at Great Lakes, so a couple of my friends were with me to witness the fleecing.
Atari Lynx - Bought this out of the ships commisary on the USS Constellation. I was living out of a six foot by three foot locker at the time so portable gaming was my thing. This was stolen by an Officer who found my massive stash of "gear adrift" in an unclaimed rack. There's a lot more to the story that made this theft, but I was enlisted and at fault so...
Turbografx 16 with CD ROM - Bought this and a shit ton of games for $400 from a guy that was getting out of the military at the time. I loaned it to some friends for their last week in Philidelphia and, in a drunken stupor, they left it at the base. Two months later we were permanently relocated to San Diego.
Sega Genesis and Sega CD - I think I picked this up in Mayport Florida, but I'm not sure. This was stolen out of my locker one week before my contract came up and I went home.
SNES - The last console that I bought and one of two consoles that I still had after I returned home. Sold the Game Gear, but my little brother still has this machine hooked up to the TV at his house.
1995-2000:
Playstation - I was a hardcore PC gamer for most of this period, but I broke down and bought this one used from a pawn shop so that I could play Final Fantasy VII. I was very disappointed. To add insult to injury, I had to turn the machine upside down in order for it to read discs.
Nintendo 64 - Golden Eye and Perfect Dark. 'Nuff Said.
Gameboy Pocket - I didn't have a working Gameboy, But I still had Gameboy cartridges that I wanted to play.
Gameboy Color - My Gameboy game collection grew and I wanted something I could play during my breaks at work.
2000 - 2006:
Dreamcast - Bought it for $100 after Sega announced that they were pulling the plug. I was able to get all kinds of games uber cheap and I still play this thing to this day.
Gameboy Adavance - Bought the same week it came out. Hate to admit such brand loyalty, but there it is.
Playstation 2 - For a machine with such an expansive library and massive effect on the industry, it was basically a speed bump in my life and gaming history. Not that I didn't play it a whole lot. It just faded into the background of my life in a way no previous console ever did.
Gameboy Advance SP- Smaller, rechargable and backlit. I went out and bought the limited edition version that was decorated like the original NES. The screen got broken on it later, but that gave me an excuse to upgrade.
Nintendo DS - Bought this used six months after launch. This is the DS that I still use. I never bought a DS Lite or DSi, but I do plan on getting the 3DS
2007-present:
XBox 360 - Bought the arcade model after it dropped to $250. I latter added a 60 gig hard drive and I spend more time with XBLA games than anything else.
PSP - Picked it up used at Gamestop for $110. I've enjoyted this machine way more than I thought I would and I'm planning on buying the Ghosts of Sparta limited edition PSP if I don't get it for christmas.
And thats it... for now...

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
That was a nice read down memory lane
I actually forgot i owned a lot of those consoles,been too many years i guess.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
NES >Sega Gensis >Playstation >Xbox >Dreamcast, then as I grew up, I decided to own all available ones. Even though I don't play them. Namely the Wii.
Atari 2600 and some console that only played a tnak game. had two controls, one for each player.

Consoles that I've owned:
1) Atari 2600 - Dad bought it for me as a Christmas present.
2) Sega Master - Good fun with this system back in the day. My favorite on it was Phantasy Star.
3) Sega Genesis - Out of all the consoles I've had, this had the most titles that I enjoyed in any system's "prime."
4) Sega CD - Very few titles of note that I held onto. Lunar, Shining Force 2, and my favorite on this platform, Snatcher (I still grudge Konami & Hideo Kojima for not bringing the sequel, Policenauts, over to the USA).
5) Sony Playstation - Who didn't own a PS1? A good, solid platform in its day.
6) Sega Saturn - My faves on it were Dragon Force, Iron Storm
7) Sega Dreamcast - If you haven't figured it out yet, I was a loyal Sega fan. Virtual On and SFIII were it for me on this platform.
8) Sony Playstation 2 - Another solid console from Sony.
9) Sony Playstation 3 - I rarely do Console gaming. I use this for movies mostly and throwing in the following every now and then: Demon Souls, SFIV, Valkyria Chronicles.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold."
