Sega Saturn - I was in 6th grade and initially wanted an N64. Went to Target but my pops had the wrong billfold. Told them we'd come back the next day. They were all out when we got back. Go to several other stores and no one had N64 or PS. Got the Saturn...wasn't bad but after seeing the PS at FuncoLand (had NFL GameDay 97 on display)...I knew that was the one.

PS1 > Dreamcast > PS2 > Xbox & GameCube > PS3 & Wii > PS4 > PS5 & Series X & Switch

For me it was -

NES > Genesis > 32x ( :heh: ) > PS1 > Dreamcast > PS2 > PS3 > PS4 > PS5


PS3 was the first one I bought on my own as an adult. Dreamcast is my GOAT though :wow:
N64/GBC -> GBA/PS2 ->X360 -> Xone -> Series X

SNES > PS1 > Gamecube > Wii. After the Wii went back and got a PS2 and a N64 to catch up on what I missed.
These days I mostly play SNES and PS1/PS2, so I don't follow anything current. The Switch looks cool though.

No need for a PS5, all I play is COD. But might cop it for Tekken 8

When Street Fighter 4 came out, I chose PS3 over Xbox 360 because PSN was free and I preferred the DualShock for fighting games
