I'm kinda foggy with my memory to be honest. I have a purple GBC, so I assume that was my first. I do specifically remember getting a GBA in 2001 though.

My first console was the ps2, and I was happy when I got it. I spent a lot of hours playing that console and I have still the console laying in my shelf alongside with over 70 games to it. The first game I played on the console was Sly Cooper 2. Later on I got a GBA, PSP, NDS, 3DS, PS3!!
But of all the console I had, the PS2 will always be mine favorite console for life:)

Nintendo Gamecube, my mom never let me have an N64 :lol

If handhelds count...a Gameboy Color, I got it in I think...2000

Nes baby! Nes! While others had their SNES and Genesis I was still the only kid with an NES so whenever the kids in the neighborhood wanted a retro video game sleepover they would bring their old NES games.

Still to this day, Mario 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Mega Man 3, and Kirby's Dreamland were awesome. And Metal Storm and Excitebike.

Coax cables were "FUN" to tweak when the TV was fuzzy. :D

My console history run down went like this:

Sega Genesis - 1997 - 1998
PS1/PSX - 1998 - 2003
N64 - 1999 - 2002
Gamecube - 2002 - 2007
PS2 - 2003 - 2013
Xbox - 2005 - 2008
Wii - 2006 - 2008
Xbox 360 - 2007 - 2013
PS3 - 2008 - current

My very first console was my Nintendo 64. It's still stored away somewhere back home, but I think only some WWE(F) game was the only one not sold at some point.

My first handheld was the GameBoy Color in lime green. I took that thing everywhere.

My first handheld was the original fat Gameboy. I had a Godzilla game, some Final Fantasy game and some Castlevania game before I got Pokemon Blue version.

I got a NES with Super Mario Bros. when I was like 5. :P

I go a GBC soon after that and thet basically began my obsession with Video Games.

Ps2 and my first game was the Power Rangers Dino Thunder game.

The first console I ever owned was an SNES. My first game was Super Mario World. :D Great memories.
