When Was Your First Love of a Console ?

I don't love consoles, I love games (the ps3 though has been the most useful console I've ever had the pleasure of owning because of how future-proof it is and how I can play any video file on it easily, compared to other consoles on the market right now).

the summer of 1991i was 4 years old, my father comes back from london, and opens a box of SEGA Mega Drive Sonic the hedgehog bundle

my brother was very exited to play the his new console, days later when he let finally me play it i was amazed (my first video game i ever played was sonic)

Snes is the first LOVE of a console.

But I had an atari 2600, nes, and Master system...ect before that.

The super nintendo and, the ps2, and ps3 are all the consoles I fell in love withRTUUMM

I believe mine was back in 1978 when i went across the street to a friends house on Dec 26th and they had just gotten the Atari 2600 for christmas, and when i walked into there living room and saw them playing Pac Man, a game that until that day i've only seen in the arcade, now being played in my friends living room, well that was it, i had to have the Atari 2600.

We all know the 2600 version was of a lesser quality but it was something that could finally be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home right on your TV, no more begging your mom to drive you to the arcade and give you $10.00 in quarters, no more waiting in line to play a certain arcade game, only to have to stop playing mid game and rush home because it was time for dinner or because you had to try and get back to school before lunch was over.

Arcade games could finally be enjoyed at home for the first time and with similar looking joystick controllers, all you had to do as a kid back then was ask for the 2600 for christmas and games for your birthday or other occasions your parents deemed necessary and you were golden.

That was the first time i fell in love with a home console, and i've owned every console and portable ever since, and i expect them to pry a controller out of my cold dead hands in another 35 years or more.
