Mine: Atari 2600, NES, SNES, GC, Wii, Genesis, DC, PS1, PS2, PS3, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, Xbox, X360, Xbox One. I think that's it.
Only one version / copy of: Atari 2600, SNES, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo DS, Game Gear, 32X, Saturn, N64

Two copies of: PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP

Then from there: Three original Xboxs and five Xbox 360s. And I don't know how many Gameboys my sister and I went through. Maybe six or seven between the both us us. Unfortunately we were pretty rough on those.

It's sad to look back and see all of those systems gone now. I really wish I would have kept those. But when you are a kid, you pretty much have no choice but to trade in to get the next big thing. At least as an adult now, I pretty much kept everything from Xbox/PS2 era and on. At least I can pass that stuff on to my kids now.

If we're naming everything, then chronologically for consoles: Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, NES, SNES, PS1, Gamecube, PS2, N64, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PS4, WiiU and Xbone.

For handhelds: Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Micro, DS, PSP, 3DS and Vita.

Switch will be added to each of those lists in a week.

Re: What video game consoles did you buy on release day?

I don't think any. I may have preordered Gameube for shipping, but don't think demand was high and easy. I certainly wouldn't kill myself. I could always wait months...

PS2 and PS4. Camping lines were outrageous for PS3 locally, so I got it a couple of weeks after launch.
