I started with Nintendo 64 (between these two — I also had Pong, the 2600, the NES, and the Super NES) but I didn’t like what Nintendo was doing with its 3D. It was all backwards and you couldn’t change it, and the graphics looked like smeared diarrhea. And yes, I had Ocarina of Time. I also had GoldenEye, and kept thinking “this would be a great game if I could play with keyboard/mouse.”
Gave it to my younger brother and bought a PlayStation. Wish I’d gone PS3 over 360 and PS4 over XB1, but I was married then and my wife wanted Xbox because she knew people on Xbox, who she proceeded to never play with online, thus defeating the purpose. Series X and GamePass, especially with All Access, was a better deal (when it was available) than PS5, but I’m not sure, in the long run, it’s the better console. So yeah, shoulda stuck with PlayStation.
Edit: I got a PS3 later. I like it more than the 360, which is its generation, and the XB1, which is PS4 gen. Still haven’t gotten a PS4 or PS5.
I followed the PS path and had an amazing time. I did secretly yern to be able to listen to my own music while playing a game (OG Xbox had its own pluses), but Playstation was backwards compatible so I could just keep building my library of games. Sadly backwards compatibility didn’t even make it through the whole run of the PS3, I did get a PS4 when Destiny came out, but that’s where my consoles just stopped.
