How many Console Wars generations have you witnessed?

I've always wondered if most of the fanboys on these forums have supported their favorite game companies for several generations or if they are just 11-year old kids who learn their gaming history lessons from Wikipedia and then come here to argue.  It seems there's probably a mix of both, or somewhere in between.  When did you start being a fanboy?

One for now...

Sega does what Nintendon't and all that. But on SW? Probably 3

The 1st console i played was the NES in early 90s, the 1st one i owned was the PSX.

BUT IM NOT TOO OLD TO REMEMBER THAT!

I started on my dad's old Atari 2600 when I was not much older than toddler. 

Shortly afterwards I got my own NES when I very young ( 4, 5 years old )

Been gaming ever since.

I've been gaming since my gameboy and original playstation but I never really witnessed the "Console War" properly until this gen, thankfully

My first TV games machine was an Interstate 595. Console generations didn't exist, let alone console wars.

i started with the nes generation. i don't remember there being a whole lot of conflict.

SNES vs Genesis was a playground topic when I was in elementary school. Those were fun.

iv been playing games since atari and nes. Though I never knew this war existed till around late ps2 days.

Wars were small back in the day because of the lack of internet.

I grew up on 16 bit... GENESIS then onto the Saturn, the only war i noticed was when i was at school when PS2 and XBOX launched, i said i had a Dreamcast, and some other kid would bark on about how superior the XBOX is... LOL

So i guess this was my first witnessed console war, but i started gaming on the 16 bit consoles.

The first console I played was the NES, but I only had one game for it. I mainly played games on the Atari ST first but that's a computer. The first console I got into was the Mega Drive so I'll go with that.

Started back since the NES days...yeah I'm old as hell.

Here? One. Soon to be 2.

Five. I started gaming in late 80s, on a Spectrum and a Nes.

Well my family owned an NES but it was probably SNES or N64 when I started really playing.

I started with my dad's intellivision.

I started gaming with the NES but I don't remember a console war back than since the NES had over 80% of the market share.

I remember the SNES vs. Genesis but I had both systems but I remember people arguing over which is better because they only had one of the two.

Atari 2600 from a friend! How many Gen is that?? Can't even count no more!

I was oblivious to that. I owned both and non of my friends or other kid family members brought up which is better. The only thing i remember going dam snes sucks was when I found out MK genisis had blood and while snes didint. besides that nothing really.

All of them including the Odyssey but the console wars truly (for me) didn't start till the NES vs SEGA Master System launched in 1985. I fought with so many relatives and friends over which had the better games that till this day I gave up on being a fanboy..........it's too much damn work for nothing.

All of them but the console wars truely (for me) didn't start till the NES vs SEGA Master System luanch in 1985. I fought with so many relatives and friends over which had the better games back in the "80"s.

Since we played this on mainframes/minis before consoles and PCs existed:

Star Trek early 70s.

I was the biggest NES fanboy in those days but deep down I knew games like Phantasy Star, Golvellius and Zillion had the better graphics lol. 

My first gaming system was a Tandy TRS-80.
