-Genesis was a bday gift, came with SoR2
-GameGear, same deal but with Xmen
-PlayStation for Twisted Metal 2 (had no idea what games were out for it really, and my second game was RE)
-Got my own PC for Quake 3, Half-Life, and Red Alert 1 (RA2 came out shortly after- no brainer)
-was waaaaaaaaaaaaay LTTP with PS2 in a sense, didn't get one till mid-2003, random bunch of used games until i figured out what to get
-PSP because of the handful of console franchises putting their stuff out there
-DS for Animal Crossing and Clubhouse Games (shut up that game is gnarly dude)
-PS3 for Resistance and a few others, mostly things just on the horizon and for all of the usual Sony franchises fated to make the transition
EDIT:
-oops, Wii for the fact that my gf didn't like games and i loved her very much
