My first console was the ps2 it was either this or the gamecube I made the right choice because ps2 was also backwards compatible with the ps1 so I got Parrapa spyro crash final fantasy 7 metal gear twisted metel all classics
-
It was a Playstation 1.
-
Gamecube, but I got it when it was dying, so :/
-
Sega Mega Drive... Oh sorry, for you yankies it was the "Genesis".
Technically, it was my dad's, he bought the thing before I was even born so...
So I'd say the Playstation 1, but my Dad bought that console before I was born too...
So my actual first true console that I have owned (or bought just for me) was a Game Boy Color.
And my first home gaming console that I have ever owned was the first Xbox.
-
I first had a Game Boy Advance SP. Some time later, we got a PS2.
Little side note, IIRC, before I even got the SP, I once got to play on my mother's old Super NES... that was so long ago. It's still somewhere in our basement.
-
If we're including handhelds, technically my first thing I ever had was a Gameboy Advance. But if we're talking Consoles, yeah, Gamecube.
-
Super Nintendo and PS1.

No one knows! *spooky fingers*
I’m waaay younger than my brothers, whom amassed kind of a decent collection throughout my childhood. I was always playing random games.
And that’s the story of LSA: the kid who thought Gotcha Force was a masterpiece.

Oh dear....
-
Playstation 1.
-
Like first one we remember having or first one we bought for ourselves?

Both.

First one I ever remembering pouring my own money into was my first Nintendo 64. The first one I ever remember having as a little kid was the Super Nintendo. I grew up playing Mario
-
The first system I had was a Playstation 1 and Super Nintendo. The first system I bought with my own money was a PS2.
-
The original Nintendo.
-
My first system was the PS1, which was followed by some legacy consoles prior to that.
-
.:: My first console was a NES ::.
-
NES here too.
-
The very first system I actually owned as my own was an original Playstation. My parents bought it for me for Christmas with two games! Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. It is the system I remember playing and all the classic games.
Before the PSOne, I played some arcade games at arcades, but I was younger then.
-
For me, the Game Boy. I always loved playing Dragon Warrior Monsters on it, even though I was too young to know what I was doing half the time. :nervoussmile:
-
I love how early on when playing games, you really didn't know what you were doing, but you still had fun! You might have never got past level four, but that didn't matter. ;D
-
My first (and only) is a Wii. I'm very late to the console party haha
We only got it cause my bro and I liked playing Wii Sports that one time we went to a relative's house
-
Hey, if you can stay away from gaming, the better. ;D You save a lot of time and money.
-
I'm late as well but It was a gameboy not sure if those are classed as consoles since I was more handheld systems but had a ps2 as well.
-
It's fun to see where everyone's gaming experience first started. I go into a lot of retro game stores in Southern California and its fun to browse the selections of consoles and games.
-
Retro gaming is making a big come back. People seem to be realizing it's hard to play a lot of old games due to how poorly they've been saved. Many being locked behind old consoles that no longer work. There was no preservation.

My first (and only) console was a clone of Famicom, but mimicking the Sega Mega Drive, including the giant three-button controllers, so instead of NES-specific A and B buttons, there were A (named A), turbo-B (named B), and turbo-A (named C). The unability to press single B’s has totally blocked the walkthrough of Chip'n'Dale 2, where the second boss fight required to hold a box for some time instead of throwing it immediately (sad trombone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQeezCdF4mk)). But of course, the turbo button was useful for shoot'em'ups ;D.
One of my friends (living literally the next door) had two normal Famicom clones (in a shape of real Famicom, but with detachable controllers with long wires just like NES had), one Sega Mega Drive and much bigger library of games, so my own console has quickly became useless ;D. Later, we played our first PC games on his computer and it was a goodbye to console gaming.
Many years later, the interest in some console-born games (mostly the one about a girl with a big knife) have led me to buying the XBox 360 controller, which had the infamous stiff D-pad — not so important in 3D games, so I didn’t pay much attention to this. But a sudden interest in several older 2D platformers and one modern game series (the girl with a high ponytail this time ;D) convinced me to try the XBox One controller, which have much, much better D-pad.
