PS4 is a bad start with the paid multiplayer unfortunately.

The PS4 (the original)! I used to love playing on the Wii as a kid during "social skills class", which I attended because I was diagnosed with Asperger's (now part of the autistic spectrum), but we never had one at home.

Hooray for emulation! PS2 and GameCube were a golden age for gaming, and the DS/3DS catalogue is unfathomably large.

My littlest brother still loves replaying Titanfall 2 on the PS4

My NES and SNES have been getting regular use ever since my son showed interest in classic games.

I have my NES from 1990.

We had a Sega Master System, I don't know what happened to it.

Atari VCS "2600" & Intellivision. Retro computers sold mainly for games may as well also be considered game consoles, so Commodore VIC-20. Remember Craigslist? 😅

I've got a small n64 collection and it all works great. Just picked up a Wii earlier this month.
There's nothing else quite like the feeling of putting a cartridge in a console.
