My first console was a Gamecube. I got it for Christmas the year it came out. I also got a Wii the year it came out for Christmas. Then, last summer, I bought an Xbox 360. I also anticipate the WiiU, and will be buying it on launch date.
As to handhelds, I have or did have: Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Gameboy Micro, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo 3DS.
