Below are all the consoles I've owned over the years in the order in which I best recall having acquired them.

Commodore 64/128 (this is what made me a gamer)
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
N64
Pentium 2 PC
GBA
Gamecube
Pentium 4 PC
DS
Wii
PS3
iCore 7 PC
I'll likely only pick up a PS4 in the next console generation unless the Wii U perfects it's controls.

Atari 2600
Sega Genesis
Sega Game Gear (My sister had it)
Sega Dreamcast (Also my sister's)
Playstation (PSX, not PSone)
Playstation 2
Playstation Portable
A PC (with both the games FOR a PC and also access to retro platforms)
Playstation 3
And now, say hello to my little friend, Mr. Alienware Laptop. If he can't run it, then it belongs inside the WOPR super computer.

Cassettes! Ha! That takes me back. I mainly played on cartridges. Demon Attack and a lesser know game called "Raid on Fort Knox." Pretty rudimentary stuff, but I was too attention deficient to bother with text games back then.Nalgas D. Lemur said:
Kinda a parallel experience growing up on Computers and consoles:
Personal Computers/OS: DOS, Apple Macintosh Classic, OS 2, Windows 3.1/95/98/XP/7
Consoles: NES, SNES, N64, PSX, Xbox 1, Playstation 2, Xbox 360.
Handhelds: Original Gameboy, iPAD 1.

Salient points:
Gaming since mid-late 80's, owned Nintendo, no Sega systems during 90's... Big on PC gaming, migrated to Playstation 2 and Xbox 1 in early 00's, since that was more in keeping with the kinds of games I wanted to play... Still PC gamer at heart and tower computer is my main omni tool / gaming platform... Like the Xbox for it's large catalog, online architecture and being the closest to PC that any of the consoles are, as they presently exist.
I'm happy Nintendo and Sega are still kicking, but my fondness for them is largely tied to the products that so enriched my childhood, rather than their current iterations of their franchised characters.

In order of when I got them.
Sega - Orginally my parents, then a family console, then replaced with the PlayStation so I got it.
PC - Back when PC's went out of date every 6 months, my dad got a few old laptops from his work and gave them to my and my brother. They couldn't run newer games but that ran Fallout, Duke Nukem and The Curse of Monkey's Island just fine. Since then I've always had a gaming PC.
PS - The next gen family console. As a kid I think I spent more time watching my brother play than playing it though.
Gameboy color - My brother had a gameboy pocket which I played occasionally, but then when the GBC came out I got my own. We tended to skip handheld models back then.
PS2 - Third family console, and it was one of the first release batches but then my brother sold it off for drugs a few years later. I bought my own slim after that.
Gameboy SP - As I said with the handhelds, we skipped models so he got an advance while I got the next one.
DSlite - Got it for Christmas and enjoy it, and now my brother says handhelds are for kids and won't touch them.
Gameboy Advanced - He was going to throw it away so I stole it, he still asks for it back form time to time on roadtrips and shit while still saying they're for kids.
Wii - My first Nintendo console, I got it to catch up on all the Nintendo games I missed and for the backwards compatibility. Not to mention at launch it was the only one with original colorful games.
Xbox360 - This gens family console, though it's mostly my dad's.
PS3 - The 360 wasn't cutting it for me, I hated having to play it in the living room or my dad's office and since I'm no longer a little kid I bought my own console and the PS3 has better exclusives and a better controller. Not to mention by the time I got it it wasn't ridiculously expensive anymore.
N64 - My brother stole it from a friend and I stole it from him.
Sega - Orginally my parents, then a family console, then replaced with the PlayStation so I got it.
PC - Back when PC's went out of date every 6 months, my dad got a few old laptops from his work and gave them to my and my brother. They couldn't run newer games but that ran Fallout, Duke Nukem and The Curse of Monkey's Island just fine. Since then I've always had a gaming PC.

I first had the PS1, then the gameboy advanced I think, then PS2 then Gameboy SP or whatever it was called then the ps3. I have a laptop too but it's a mac so not for gaming at all. Next however I do plan on purchasing a gaming pc.

In chronological order:
NES - Super Mario Bros. That's all I should have to say there.
Game Boy Color - Don't remember too much of this one aside from Pokemon Blue which I'm still hoping to find lying around my bedroom to this day.
Nintendo 64 - This was one of my favorites and had the largest game library here before a certain other console came along, my favorite of the games for it that we have being Conker's Bad Fur Day.
PS2 - This is aforementioned "certain other console," so many games for it here that you cant turn a corner without seeing another one, but there are a few that stand above the rest in my mind, like Okage and Kingdom Hearts.
GBA - The console I remember the least about and as such won't try to look into it further.
GBA-SP - See above only add a backlight to it.
PSP - Good for a while then got old fast when I got an actual MP3 player.
PS3 - Most-used console in the house but I haven't used it enough to have much of a history with it.
Wii - Similar to the PSP's fate, this console was good for a while but now it just sits there in front of the TV all but forgotten.
Nintendo DS - This is my second most-used gaming thing here, games for it that I actually play are all of the DS Pokemon versions and, more prominently, Chrono Trigger, a game that I can't stop myself from replaying over and over again.
PC - My absolute most-used gaming device here thanks to pc games(Skyrim and Terraria mainly), the internet and a ton of emulators.
SNES - An old thing I got from a yard sale or swap meet or something. It's missing its AC cord and thus is useless for now, so there's not much to say about it.

First one was a Playstation when I was 7 years old or so. Had played a lot of SNES/NES at my friends houses before that.
Then, in order, I got a Gameboy Color, Playstation 2, Gameboy Advanced, Gamecube, Playstation 2(broke the first one when I tried to repair it using the floor), Xbox 360, Playstation 3.
Apart from the PS3 and 360 they're all still somewhere in my sisters old room, I think.

I started out on a gameboy and then moved up through to the gameboy color and eventually gameboy advanced, my parents were against consoles for most of my growing up. When that relented I got a gamecube and then a PS2, Wii, DS, Xbox360, and PS3 for varying reasons and lengths of time each. I've moved on to my computer for almost all of my gaming nowadays though. So that makes it
-Gameboy
-Gameboy Color
-Gameboy Advanced
-DS
-Gamecube
-PS2
-Wii
-Xbox360
-PS3
-Computer
Not to shabby, if I do say so.
