So I was wondering, just like the title says, what the first game system you ever bought was!

Mine was an indigo Gamecube. Got it back in 2013 for $35, and it came with 4 games (none of which I've ever played) and 2 controllers (one of them was partially broken though).

I really didn't have a reason to get it; I had a Wii, 2 GCN controllers, and 2 memory cards. I think it was because I just missed having one (I got a black one in 2008 and it was sold shortly after because we got a Wii). Or maybe because I liked watching the little cube roll around when I booted up the console. xDD
 
I bought a PS Vita my first year in college as a "wow, you're actually trying" gift. I also failed that entire semester...Ooops!
 
The first console I bought with my own money, was my PS4. That thing cost me around $400, as they were still brand new.
 
yeah A playstation. I saved all summer to get a sega saturn, but when i went to walmart they didnt have any, but they had this playstation thing that looked pretty cool. I was 14.
 
Probably my Xbox One? My brothers friend was selling it for ?100. I also got a PS3 for ?50 odd, but that was later on


Most of the consoles I have were gifts from Christmas.

The first I bought myself was either a Gamecube or the original Xbox (twas the crystal one). I already had a PS2, so I didn't need to buy one.


Really can't remember which I got first, but I still have the Gamecube whilst the Xbox is pretty much the only console I had no second thoughts about selling.
 
I do also plan on buying a Switch with my own money, but not until I get a job when I'm in college. Probably sometime later this year.
 
The New Nintendo 3DS that was on sale for $100 during Black Friday

Previous consoles were either gifts or split (price and usage wise) by my older brother and I
 
My Pikachu 3DS XL. I didn't hesitate to run past people for it. There were only 5 per store and I had to race against resellers. :p
