Only one : a used PS4 Pro (for 200€ in perfect condition with Spider-man, a steal !)

I have a Switch but it's a birthday gift. I did buy a Switch for my brother though so eh, it counts.

I got the XB1, PS4 and Switch at launch. I sold my XB1 and PS4 and got the Pro and X models. I also got a new 3DS and built myself three gaming rigs in that time.

In chronological order: A launch PS4, a launch NSW, a very, very late PS4 Pro, and a launch NSW Lite.

I somewhat regret buying the NSW Lite (Dpad isnt as good as I thought it would be, and the long term durability is suspect), and I REALLY regret buying the PS4 Pro (I've hardly used it, given that I usually play on PC when I'm at home).

I bought the 3DS XL when Link Between Worlds came out for that edition in Nov 2013.
I bought Vita Nov 2013 which was a pretty great bundle with Tearaway, LBP and the memory card. I remember being disappointed with the PS4 launch lineup so decided to get Vita and play through the games and exclusives released. PS+ was worth it for Vita alone before PS4 launched.
I got PS4 in Dec 2014 just as the Weather content for DC released.
Switch is my first console I ever bought at launch and was not disappointed.

1 because in some parts of the world it's not financially reasonable to buy many consoles so people goes with the console that has their favorite or preferred games and in the middle east it's usually a playstation console and in my case it was PS4.
Yep, it's pretty surreal to see it be so normal to buy multiple consoles.

Thankfully, since I emigrated to Canada, I was able to save up for a Switch Lite. It's good so far.

PS4 and Switch... or actually two Switches.

The two Switches happened because I bought one at launch and then sold it for a profit after beating Zelda when the system was stil scarce. Picked one up again duing the following Black Friday with Odyssey.

Was still a student at the time so my dad got me a PS4.

I bought a PSVita for... reasons? (worth it for Tearaway and WipEout before Omega Collection)

I bought a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X to properly enjoy my 4K TV.

Bought a Switch for a close friend (after I while I got to use it for a few months so it kinda counts, hah)

So technically I purchased 3 consoles for myself but this gen was about 5 consoles.

Bought a Switch when the new battery came out, play it a few nights a week (mostly Splatoon)

A friend gave me his PS4 when he bought a Pro - I haven't played much of anything on it, mostly use it as a music & movie player.

I bought an X1, PS4 and Switch.
I sold the Switch sadly after I lost my job.
I actually haven't played my PS4 in about a year or thereabouts.
I mainly played Destiny 2 and PUBG on my X1.
But in the last few months I've been catching up on stuff I've been moaning to play for a while.
Stuff like Dead Cells, Outer Worlds, Ori to name a few.

Switch and Switch Lite
PS4 500GB OG, which I traded up for the PS4 Pro, which I traded up for the PS4 Pro new model (didn't cost a penny)
Xbox One used OG which I traded up for the Xbox One S 1TB

So technically 7, but I own 4 of those today.
