Other than the Gameboy (and man, did I love my Gameboy) I don't think I ever owned any of the Nintendo platforms. I spent ages trying to convince (aka begging) my mum to buy me a Sega Megadrive, which she just refused to do, but in the end we did get a Playstation, wrangled as a Christmas present, with two controllers and an adminition to share.

Given that both me and my brother survived to adulthood, I think we did pretty well at that :D
