Mine are probably quite different to most here, as I was mostly PC systems until I started full time employment and had my own money. I now have too many platforms.
C64 (family system that I don't remember at all and was probably too young to actually use myself)
Master System
Game Gear
Amiga 500 (can't recall if it was the plus or not)
PC (various systems and still my main gaming system)
Wii U
Playstation 4
Switch
Playstation 5
Steam Deck (just this weekend)

It's not really a linear line, especially towards the end, but it's like this:
C64
Amiga 600
Game Gear
SNES
PC
Dreamcast
Gamecube
Gameboy Advance
Then that was it for about 10 years until my brother bought me an Xbox 360, which sort of (massively) rekindled my love of gaming and I then bought:
PS4
PS Vita
PS5
However whilst I owned the 360, PS4 and PS5 I have also bought up:
OG Xbox
Xbox One X
PS2
PS3
SNES Mini
C64 Mini
Amiga Mini
Retroid Pocket 2+

Gameboy
SNES
PC
PS1
GC, soon followed by PS2, PSP and Xbox
From that point on it was pretty much own every current system because I actually had disposable income to throw at them (but of course less time to play them). 3DS is probably the only one from the big three that I haven't owned in the past 20 years.

Atari 2600jr.
Master System.
Mega Drive (with the Master System converter thing, which selling the MS covered from what I remember).
SNES.
PS1.
N64.
PS2.
PS3.
PS4.
PS5.
I also had Gameboy, Gameboy Color, DS, PSP, 3DS but I can't remember the order so they slot in between the rest at various points.
Also I'm not actually a PS fanboy, just one console a gen was enough and you had BC for a bit then ended up tied into them due to purchase history etc.

Not going to list every console I've ever had cos it's basically all of them and not at all in chronological order, but my 'main' gaming platform over time is approximately:
Mega Drive
PlayStation
PC
Dreamcast
PS2
Xbox
DS
PSP
Xbox 360
Vita
PS4
PS5/XSX (use them pretty much equally)

Yeah, fair do's - they're physical things aren't they. I only had the snes mini though. I suppose I could include the raspberry PI as it has Retropie on it, but probably not. |

I've felt distinctly underwhelmed by every Nintendo console I've bought. I can't really say why either - it's like they seem great at first and then it's just, they end up gathering dust in a drawer. Then a year or two later I feel like "I wish I hadn't bought this."

mrharvestI'm the other way round with Nintendo, but only on the Snes, Wii, Gamecube and Switch. The Wii U I was hoping to click more with. Still got it, but it's not wired up. Still use the wii though - I'm playing both house of the dead: overkill on it at the moment, along with the gamecube disk of Eternal Darkness on it too. In fact, that's my heaviest used console at the minute! It'll change though and I'll cycle round on something else for a while. I quite like revisiting stuff I have and haven't used for a while. Each to their own though innit.

Me too. I keep thinking of other ones now, like the 3DS and handheld stuff, but I can't be arsed updating it. Definitely a lot over the years though. It's weird, in my head I thought it was just, "Speccy, c64, snes, amiga, pc and then new consoles" but there's fucking loads! |

I only had Wii U and Switch and I thought both were excellent. Something about Nintendo games just works so well, even if they have their own weird way of doing things that is often inferior to others (multiplayer, in particular).
The problem with he Wii U now is that pretty much every game has been moved over to Switch. There isn't really any reason to boot it up nowadays. I'm also not sure whether it will have much value on the second hand market for quite some time, as anyone wanting to play Wii U games should just get a Switch and play the improved versions there. It might at some point get some nostalgia factor, but for the moment it doesn't seem worth using and isn't worth selling.

Actually I'm yet to jump on board this current gen but it's only a matter of time (and money).
