Depends what you class as "owned"
The first consoles that I played were at my nana's, and I had a Commodore Amiga 500 (which I recently acquired again) which I used to play all the time and a NES which we brought out on special occasions.
The first console I owned was the SNES, and the first one I bought for myself (with my own money) was a PS2 with Sims: Bustin' out

God, Bustin' Out took up so much memory up. xD

The Odyssey was bad ass. I was very young mind you, but my favorite game (can't recall the name unfortunately) was where you had two stick figure cowboys and each stood on opposite corners of the screen. There were a bunch of obstacles between the two of you. To win you had to aim and fire your gun and a little pong like ball would bounce off the corners of the screen, off the obstacles and hopefully hit your opponent. Unfortunately it perished in 1983 when lightning struck the house and blew every piece of electrical equipment within. The big loss was my father's 100,000 watt CB radio, the tower for it used to glow dimly at night. Ah the good old days.
