The Quest for the Perfect Console Ownership Timeline

Looking all the way back to 1985, which consoles should you have purchased over the years to have the ultimate gaming experience?

[madmonkey01]

master system
mega drive
ps1
ps2
ps3
ps4

[JCDenton]

Very similar to mine (although I was/is mainly PC gamer I did own many consoles).

Master System
Mega Drive
Saturn
PS1
Dreamcast
Xbox
Xbox 360

I'm yet to buy a next-gen system as I kind of lost interest in gaming in the last few years...

My favorite years of gaming were mid-90's. I played the HECK out of my PC and Amiga (upgraded from Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC 464) :)

[madmonkey01]

i have had other consoles at the same time but those were the ones i used most, and had first during each generation. I am mostly a PC gamer though.
I am new here, i see a few people disagreeing with my post? does that mean they know my console path better than i do?
