Why wouldn't the PC count? I've never understood how the PC isn't classed as a valid gaming platform...
Platform yes... Console no... at least thats how I see it

OT: A Commodor 64... Oh yeah... Then a GameBoy Color... Then A PS2... Then a, Oh wait you only asked for my first... not a history

A NES before one of my friends yanked the controller and sent it crashing to the floor. That was a sad, sad day.

Mine was a Comdore 64 hand-down from my dad, 5.5 disk drive, dot matrix printer and all! A glorious testament to overly expensive proprietary god of computing!

Amstrad, this ran off cassette tapes, you could go downstairs get yourself a drink come back and the thing still wouldn't have loaded your game. Most fond memories of Treasure Island Dizzy.
Amiga 500, ran off floppies, superior graphics ^^ great loading times. Lemmings was awesome, also I remember getting a cartoon pack with it, which included games like captain planet and simpsons.
SNES

Technically it was the NES but then I got the N64 on my 7th birthday and yet I still continued to play the NES just as much as the N64 so both were my childhood consoles.

First platform was a computer. I've had a NES too, or I think that's what it was. I was very young and didn't know much about anything at the time, I used to call it my TV game, to distinguish it from my computer games. I played very little at it (couldn't get past World 1 in SMB and Duck Hunt got boring after a while) so my parents gave it away or something.

So I've always been a PC gamer, my first real console is the Wii my girlfriend and I got this Christmas. Grew up with the games from the 90s, then at the end of that decade my friends and I all formed a LAN network within our apartment block and played Starcraft, Half-Life, Diablo II, Counter-Strike... ah, the memories.

Well, I don't have any gaming stuff from my childhood anymore because my mom made a ruling early on: Only one console at a time. A bit sad, yes, but then nothing lasts forever.

Counting handhelds, the very first console I ever owned was the good old orginal Gameboy, that trusty grey brick which could be used to bludgeon goats to death with. I got it for my 6th birthday in 1992, and my first game was 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan'. I also have fond memories of my copies of Pokemon Blue and Gold.
Not counting handhelds, my first console (actually, I shared it with my little brother) was the SNES, with Super Mario World as our first game. Fun times. ^^

Nintendo 64 was my childhood console. My favorite games were DK64, Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64. DK64 was amazing and I want more games like this.

My first gaming platform was the NES. My uncle brought it with him when he moved in with my family. The first game I played on it was Ice Climbers and my uncle was surprised at how well I was doing (I believe I was 5 at the time). Then he noticed I had the controller upside down and I successfully blew his mind.
