this would make more sense if you specified which consoles were in each generation. I assume, since you only listed 4 generations that you're starting with NES, but even that's not quite accurate. because I would qualify:

pre-nes
nes-era
snes/genesis era
psx/n64 era
ps2 era
current generation (wii/x360/ps3)

and that's 6 generations, with 5 post NES, and could be subdivided further.

I'd say the earliest system I personally own is the Dreamcast.
I had a PSOne, and I do have an original GameBoy... but yeah, Dreamcast.

I'm gonna go ahead and go with Third...I had an SNES, but it broke (I got it used, in not very good shape). I currently have a GameBoy Pocket, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy SP, PS1 (broke our neighbors mobile monitor, had to buy them a new one, kept the old one), PS2, and Gamecube.

My first, oldest, and only system is my PS2.

the neo geo is more powerful than the 3DO, if i am not mistaken. it certainly is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in it's caegory.

I have Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Colour. Hum, the earliest thing I've ever owned is my NES, but I think we sold it or something. It doesn't seem to be here anymore.

My NES is still alive and kicking!

I had an old atari, but I have no idea where it went to. It never really worked properly, however, so I don't miss it.

As much as I do enjoy the nostalgia of old carts, I will confess that it really is a lot handier to just have the games available without all the twitchy, easily-breakable systems and carts and the battery back-ups failing and wiping out your saves.

I also have:
NES, SNES, Saga, N64, Game Cube, 2 of the Original brick-like Game Boys, and a Game Boy Colour!!!

All of them still work!!!

I have a Telstar Alpha kicking around somewhere. It's a machine that only plays variations of Pong, all built into the unit. I also have an Atari 400, with my favorite ports of Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

There is a video with the Commodore 64 in it. But I am fairly certain that the Commodore wasn't a console.
