Too many details, variations, repurchases, to list. Probably missed some platforms too.

[edit]
Aw, man. After looking through this thread, I'm too embarrassed to add anything else to this list if I do remember.

Nearly all of these I still have. No matter how strange it looks, the order that I obtained these is still roughly correct.

I'll purchase the following when I see a kick-ass deal for brand new merchandise:
Sony PS2
Microsoft XBOX
Microsoft XBOX 360

WILL OWN VERY SOON:
Wii

Perhaps 5 years from now, give or take a few:
PS3
