playing at a friend's house is fine and super fun in multiplayer, but you can't really enjoy a console unless you can play it alone in your house at your own pace and without deadlines.

on me, I'm just the oddball that didn't get into gaming as a kid. My parents were strict about media because they were bible-thumping, god-fearing Christians and wouldn't let me. I had to wait until I moved away to college and got a job to get anything at all.

We also traded consoles and games in the summer so we could play the long single player games. Most times it doesn't really matter because N64 catalog was good for the multiplayer games.
>>
>>321981952
Poorfag/No home entertainment budget here too. First console was NES, but I was born in 1989. So I guess I was only about a generation behind when we first got it, but I remember playing and watching my mom play Kung Fu and Mario. We got a SNES not too long after, but the first console that was really mine was the N64 probably around 1998.

Most kids don't like playing alone.
They'll not play games altogether if they're only choice is to either play generic shooter/puncher #232466 by themselves or a multiplayer of any kind.

GBA -> N64 -> Gamecube -> DS -> Wii -> PS3 -> 3DS -> PC -> Wii U
N64 and Gamecube lost in parents' divorce, along with all their games and some GBA games. I got a Gamecube my last Christmas with my mom, the last time I saw her, 10 years ago. She's been more off than she used to be since she lost me, I'd be willing to bet she just left everything and got evicted multiple times. I still manage to be happy, I'm 18 and I've got a lot ahead of me, including winning my first FG match on Sm4sh.

Mine was the SEGA Master System with Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in.
It was my parents and it was pretty fun. But I always longed for a NES.
My next console was the Mega Drive. I wish I got a SNES now.

A NES clone that my parents already had when I was born.
Then a Game Boy Color and a Nintendo 64 almost at the same time. My parents never bought me a Super Nintendo...

NES -> Game Boy Color -> Nintendo 64 -> Game Boy Advance -> GameCube -> PC -> Nintendo DS -> Wii -> Xbox 360 -> PlayStation 2 -> PlayStation 3 -> PSP -> Nintendo 3DS ->Wii U
I lost my N64 once (I don't remember how that happened) with Puzzle Bobble, a controller and the Expansion Pak, so I couldn't play Donkey Kong 64 and Majora's Mask anymore. I never got another Expansion Pak...

I am the poorest of poorfags, pirating everything I can and getting consoles after aeons of saving money and festivities (birthday, Christmas, Epiphany).

Then do it like me. Buy both, regret both. Okay, regret the Xbone more.
>>
>>321986547
>>321995515
I started out being more interested in the Xbone than the PS4, but it seems just as starved for games with no sign of any decent titles on the horizon. I may not bother with ever getting one and will be the first time in a long while I didn't get all platforms.
>>
>>321995935
I have a PS4, wiiu and also have a great pc. Xb1 would be for the set but like mentioned; only has a handful of things on it, multiplats are on pc, consoles for exclusives and I can't justify the xb1 more than Killer instinct and scalebound, maybe the rare replay aswell

Halo5,Sunset overdrive,rise of the tomb raider and Quantom Break
>>
>>321996379
Same boat along with both handhelds. I was originally interested in the Xbone for Halo, I only ever played the first, at the time I was getting burned out on FPS games (having spent years playing Quake and Quake 2 on PC and games like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark with friends), Sunset Overdrive also interested me, but not so much that I really want a system just for it.

Only reason I got a PS4 so suddenly was because I got a good deal on it, bought DQH (wanted to play it and support DQ) and wanted to play Disgaea 5, also there's several games coming I'm interested in, but now it's just waiting around.

i own everything
XB1, Wii U, PS4, you are pretty much paying for exclusives. the multiplats i have are pretty much the same generic AAA trash, fucking fallout 4 lasted me a week and even then i was bored.

im waiting til this E3, last E3 really had nothing amazing that made me glad to own ANY current gen console.

oh and the only reason i own all 3 systems is because i got them cheap off places like ebay and craigslist. i paid $180 for a "broken" XB1 that just needed a reset, came with 2 controllers, 3 games and a kinect and $150 for a Wii U that needed it's parental lock disabled.

My father owned an NES when I was very young so that was my first console experience.

Then my parents split up when I was 5 years old and I ended up getting a Nintendo 64 at my mom and a Playstation at my father for christmas that year. So either of those were my first console I owned myself.

Atari 2600 that belonged to my dad I suppose. Until I received a NES for Christmas with SMB2
