I had a N64 growing up (still do) but it wasn't and isn't mine. But I helped my two older brothers buy a ps2, but I paid like $20 and I was 7 or 8 at the time, so I didn't have much. But when the 360 came out and I was 11, My one older brother (oldest moved out by then) we spen 200 each on the 360. Then shortly later I bought a Nintendo ds, and got a wii for Christmas still 11 or was I 12. Flash forward to today I'm 16 I have a job and own a 3ds. Waiting for the WiiU, and gonna get the starwars 360 when it comes out.
I'm 17 it was a Playstation One I acquired 11 years ago at age 6. I actually didn't know much about games at the time and after witnessing my friend's N64 I told my parents I wanted "a video game" and so my dad got me a PS1 because my uncle had it. I still have my first game ever Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and it still works. I still play it from time to time in fact.
16, Gameboy Colour. Pokemon is still awesome.
It's kind of interesting to see what consoles people through. Like I went Gameboy>Game Cube>Xbox>Xbox 360>PC.

Im 20 and the first console I played was called the Silver star, i think. I cant find any reference on google to it. It was one of those old plug and play tv ones that only had a set number of games. Couldnt add any more or anything.
I'm 21 and, despite it being past its time, my first console was the NES. It was handed down to me from my mom and I really enjoyed Contra, Super Mario Bros. and Kid Icarus the most despite the fact that I never once beat them at that young age. Other games I played I have no memory of what they are. I recall when I played with my grampa, may he rest in peace, with him being Luigi and I "taught" him how to play.
In fact, my mom said she beat The Legend of Zelda while she was pregnant with me. XD
I may have been born at the end of the NES's life, but it was my first console and the nostalgia is just as valid.

N64, I wanted a GBC for Pokemon though, but my parents bought me a "real console", *sob* even my parents looked down on the handheld gamer...
I got the Game Boy the next year and enjoyed games like Pokemon Yellow (The first game I bought with my own money) on my N64. Good old Game Boy Tower in Pokemon Stadium.

I'm 16, and my first gaming system was a Game Boy Advance. One of the ones without backlighting, so I remember the struggles to get the screen to be lit well. I ended up buying a $10 flip-down light for it which worked well.
My first home console was a GameCube. However, I never really got into console gaming until I got an Xbox and Halo 2. Before that, I'd been a PC gamer. I played the first Half-Life in my dad's lap when I was 5 or 6.

I'm 22. The first system my family owned was a 64, but the first system I played was either a SNES or an original Playstation. They had both at my primary school's after-school-care. Donkey Kong Country, Robocop and Crash Bandicoot 
I'm 28 and my first system was the NES(or Famicom, depending on where you're from). My parents bought it for me as an incentive to do well in school and keep up with my studies. This was shortly after they found out about my ADD. They didn't put me on Ritalin though. I was taught to keep a mini-notebook to keep my attention on what was needed. When I did well in keeping myself in track(and I always did) they let me have a certain amount of time with my controller and zapper(sorry for the personal history, just wanted to add context for my love of the NES). That was a wonderful machine. Why aren't consoles today as tough as the NES and even the SNES were. Also, where is my Xbox 360 light gun? Ahh the memories.
17, and an SNES at my daycare when I was 5 or so. The first console I ever owned was an N64 at the age of 6. My Dad bought it for me for christmas, but he got all the games used, so when I first started up Ocarina of Time, he told me all the existing saves were Santa's elves testing out the product.
