I've never gotten one on launch day. I may have gotten an N64 that first year it was out and that thing still works to this day.

Just the switch. Total impulse buy. Was at work at like 8am on release day and said fuck it. Left for 20 min to go to target and get one.

Just the super nintendo. My dad got it for me as a get well gift since I was involved in a car accident that I was lucky enough to survive from. Def. my most cherished console...loved the hell out of the snes.

Every other console my house had was gotten either shortly after release, or a good year or two in from when the console released. (My brother did get a dreamcast on day one...him and a friend actually sat and chilled in walmart until they started selling them at midnight, all to get in on that soul calibur action, lol).

Switch and snes mini. Both to scalp tbh, but I kept the switch long enough to beat breath of the wild then sold them both for 350 so that wasn't profit based.

GBA. Huge exception, uncle got it as a present for my brother five months after launch.

Yes, though the battery casing has snapped off so it's not really 'portable' any more, have to sit mostly still while playing.

I think I technically got the Wii on release day but not exactly because I received it on Christmas it was just purchased on release day.

None. I've never been fond of buying a console anywhere near launch date. In fact, most (if not all) of the consoles I've bought have been when they were close to being replaced by a successor.

none on launch

wii was within the first year and it still works nowadays, was just playing on it last night

my only broken console is an n64 which had something break with the power supply portion. fortunately I had an extra n64 lying around so it wasn't really an issue

I got a 3ds launch day. It still works but doesnt hold a charge.

Don't think I've gotten anything else within the first year. Switch is probably closest at about 14 months later.

Not many... Gameboy Advance and GameCube. I think possibly PS3 was as well.

When I was younger I waited to see what I've had a really good library of games building up first before I asked for one for Christmas LOL

Edit - still working, although the PS3 is loud as hell

This is the only correct answer. Launch titles are almost always complete garbage.

None. No games and kinks need to be worked out. 360 launch was a disaster

I did get the PS2 Hard Drive (FFXI bundle) on launch day. But never an actual console.

I think I got the PS2 within the year though, probably also the original Xbox. They both still work, amazingly. The PS2 is an amazing piece of technology, and the Xbox was just built like a mainframe.

The disc drive on my PS2 is long gone for reliably reading discs. I eventually modded it to run the games off a hard drive instead, still going today!

None

Closest was Gamecube which my parents bought like a month after launch for Christmas and ended up saying fuck it and just gave it to me cause Luigis Mansion was in at family video when we went after picking it up. My gamecube worked up until I sold it a year ago.

Closest I bought myself was Switch. I think I got mine in like June?

Day (or even month) of release? None.

Within a year of release? Hmmm.... N64, PS2, 360, Wii, and Switch.... and I think that's it.

Launch day just the Gamecube. Within the first year 3DS and... I think PS3? Oh actually I think Wii and DS were also within the first year. I think my mom may have ordered a Wii from a scalper so I'd have it in fact.
