Sega (Master System, Saturn & Dreamcast)
Sony (PS1, PS3 & PS4)
Nintendo (Wii & 3DS)
Microsoft (Xbox & Xbox 360)
Neo Geo Pocket Colour
ZX Spectrum 48K
Commodore (A500, A1200 and CD32)

Atari and Commodore etc are (CD32 excepted) not strictly games consoles - they are/were home and personal computers.

I've had 6, I think. Master System, Mega Drive; Playstation, Playstation 2; Xbox 360, Xbox One

I also had a couple of old Amigas and an Atari 520 ST, but as I say, with the exception of the CD32, they are not consoles.

That is fairly a much. Gameboys counted, but no PC ganes, I am just exactly at 5 cobsoles. Nothing compared to you two.

To be fair most of these were after I moved out and went to uni...no guessing what I spent any leftover maintenance loan on the first time round :laugh: Although most were also second hand ebay purchases several years after release with one or two exceptions. The only console I've bought even near release is my XB1 :tongue: Far too expensive for my blood...

The last 'console' I paid was the SNES classic and contains 20 games to play. It is a pity that I own some of these games for the real SNES. :rolleyes: With that little thing it is a half dozen.

PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Gameboy, Gamecube, Wii, Nintendo DS - what I can think of from the top of my head. I've also owned some of these more than once due to selling / switching platforms and then returning (primarily 360 to PS3 to 360 again, then made the upgrade to the One), and my own recklessness as a kid :colondollar:

The PS3 was prohibitively expensive on launch though, especially when put side by side with the 360.

Once people start to play games and got a passion for gaming, it is easy to get addicted. And the number of consoles does not matter.

I remember to have played 7+ hours, friends I had at that time even 12+.
