My first console was the Sega Genesis. It was a Christmas present and came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I've still got it and it still works.

First console I owned was the N64 because my parents didn't want to buy my brother and I a SNES. We had some computer games, educational ones =p The first console I played on was the neighbour kids NES. And then I had friends with SNES and SEGA Genesis. So I certainly played those games as kids. But ya, once I was 16 I had a part-time job and bought my friends N64, he was selling it to buy an xbox. Then about 2 years later, I bought an xbox, and I've been more or less on current gen consoles since. Still no ps4 of x1, maybe a ps4 in January
The first console I ever got was the N64 that I got for Christmas when I was 7. But before that I had a few games for the pc and I also had a Gameboy
I still have my PSX packed away, as well as the 2 games my parents got with it for me V-Rally and Abe's Odysee (and every one since). I still stick them in from time to time, esp AO as that was a classic 
The first console I played would have been an old Sega Megadrive if I recall correctly, or an old NES, but I never owned any of them just played at friends. PC was actually where I had my first gaming experience, ah the old memories of Doom over LAN....

For me it was the N64 however that blew up in about 2 days, so I haven't played any nintendo games since I got the wii nearly 12 years later. But the first console that I had for a while was the original playstation, I had great fun with it playing Tomba!, Ape's Escape, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, MGS 1, GTA I & II. What fun memories
My first was the NES, and I remember I couldn't beat any of the games, but I kept on at 'em as long as my parents would let me. I still have trouble with all those old games even now. I'm curious to see how well a console would sell these days with mostly really difficult games.
Mine was a variation of the Digitek 2001, sometimes known as the Tandy Scoreboard. It had 4 variations of PONG and the controls were "slider pots" that were built into the console, so to play 2 player you had to sit uncomfortably close to your opponent. Due the unusual shape of the console it is sometimes called "boomerang pong".

The first console my family had was the Sega Megadrive. A couple of years later we got a PS1 and I probably had a gameboy somewhere in between the two but my first personal home console was our house's second PS1 that my dad bought for me because I was keeping him from playing on his.
Sega Master System for me. I must have been 11 or so; my previous gaming experience was PC only, mainly early LucasArts and Sierra adventures, which were awesome. Sadly as a kid I bought in to the whole 'console war' nonsense, and I viewed Nintendo as the enemy. I really regret that I never experienced the greats of Nintendo's 8 and 16 bit grandeur. Oh well, Sega still had a lot of awesomeness going for it.
My first was the SNES. My dad was apparently a gamer until I was born, because my mom got him an N64 for christmas when I was like 5ish. Of course I don't remember the actual gift giving, but it was around that age that I recall playing games on it. Back to the SNES, I remember playing ninja turtles and duck hunt using the light gun. That was some high tech. Unfortunately, the SNES broke after I turned 7 or 8. My younger brother dropped a controller on it, and that did it in. Sad day, sad day.
My first console was an NES. I was very young when I got it as a birthday present, I can't remember how old exactly. I do remember that I found it in my parents bedroom, hidden, sometime before they gave it to me. I'm a bit confused with the timeline, though. I also had a Master System at one point and I may have had a Mega Drive, or that was my cousins. I don't recall. From there, I had a SNES, N64, PS2, 360, PS3 and soon PS4.
I may at some point have fucked around with an Amiga and Commodore before I had the NES.

Technically I had two: The N64 and the Sega Genesis.
I myself owned the Genesis when I was 3 or 4, and it was the original model. I can't remember, nor can my parents remember, where they got it for me, but it was the first console that was constantly in my bedroom for me to play whenever I wanted.
The N64 was my father's, being brand new and more expensive and all that. This was where I was introduced to my favorite FPS series of all time, the Turok games. However I could only really play it when my mom left for work and my Dad was around to make sure I didn't break it, though somehow at some point my Dad gave up altogether and just left me to use it alone, probably because the system didn't really have any moving parts to break.
The first console I bought with my very own money was a PS1, when the PS2 was already out for about a year or two. It was only $50, so I didn't need to save too much.
And like 98% of everyone else, my first handheld console was a Gameboy, and then a Gameboy Color.

Sega Megadrive. They were the days, playing Aladdin on that thing. I remember the Megadrive getting a bit of press because it was the first 16 bit console.
Another old person here so my first console was an Atari 2600. We got it on Xmas. The next day we awoke with lots of expectations for a day filled with video game playing. What we got was a note saying that our parents had played the console for so long while we slept that the powersupply crapped itself and needed to be replaced. We were not happy. Still, I played the crap out of that thing until it got replaced by the NES.
