What system did you own before you bought your XBox or GameCube?
Hi,
Out of curiosity, I was just wondering what game console did people use to have before their purchase of the new gaming systems, ie. PS2, XBox, and GameCube. I used to own a Dreamcast before they decided to kill it. Still has many good games for it though. Shenmue rocks.

Neo Geo Pocket and a Dreamcast.
I actually got out of console gaming for about 3 or 4 years after the quick painful death of the Sega Saturn. I tested the waters with the Pocket (which died quickly as well) and on a whim picked up the Dreamcast last summer. I love that damn thing.
Now I have the cube and I am in awe, but I am going to still play my DC, I have too many good games on that system.

I got'em in this order:
1)PSX- I bought it for Castlevania and Final Fantasy 7
2)N64 - Mario 64 and Pilotwings ruled!
3)PS2 - Was scared I wasn't going to be able to get one later so I waited in line before the store opened to get one.
4)Dreamcast - After they lowered the price of the system to $99 and the games it was an incredible steal.....also the fact that I had $60 worth of amazon gift certificates I only got my DC for $40 the week they reduced the price
I just bought a Gamecube last week because Wave race and Super Monkey Ball are really awesome!! And I got it for Super Smash Bros Melee

I bought a PS2 at launch, but sold it two months later due to problems and lack of games.
I have mainly used my PSone and Dreamcast and of course my Game Boy Advance. Bought a Gamecube on Sunday and really like it. Don't know when I will get a PS2 or Xbox, but they will have to drop below $200 first.
Of course I still play my N64, Saturn, 3DO, SNES, Sega CDX, Neo Geo Pocket, and NES from time to time.
