First Plays Per Console
Stole this idea from @conman (who ripped-off the idea from LordDarias and MagneticBurn. The are legitimate on-console plays, not emulated plays. I listed first-owned here instead of games I may have played at a friends house as my memory isn't that great.

Sony Playstation 2
I bought a PS2 years after it was released and I barely played it. I am struggling to think of what my first game was, but I feel it was probably Guitar Hero.

Xbox 360
I believe I purchased my own Xbox 360. Memory is a bit hazy, but I feel like Gear of War was probably the first game I bought for it.

Nintendo DS
I barely played my first Nintendo DS, but I'm pretty sure the first game I got for it was Mario Kart DS. This or one of the Castlevania games (probably Portrait of Ruin).

Sony Playstation 3
I purchased my PS3 with the intention of watching Blu-ray movies on the system, which then blossomed into buying lots of games for the system. I'm pretty sure my first game was Infamous.

Nintendo Wii
Bought this system with my girlfriend (now wife) which came with Wii Sports, but I purchased Mario Party 8 at the same time and I'm pretty sure I played this first.

Playstation Vita
I bought this system second-hand and it came with a few questionable games, which I don't think I even played (Unit 13 and maybe a sports game?). I believe the first game I played was Unfinished Swan, which as PS+ freebie.

Playstation 4
My wife and I both purchased PS4s at the same time, pretty much for the sole purpose of playing Destiny 2 at launch. My system came bundled with Call of Duty Black Ops 3, but the first game I played on it was Destiny 1 which I purchased digitally.

Nintendo 3DS
I bought a secondhand 3DS which came with a handful of games included (Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, NSMB2, Super Mario 3D Land, and I believe one more). I'm pretty sure NSMB2 was the first game I played of those.

Google Stadia
I had a crumby internet connection when I got my Stadia (but thankfully I got it for free from Google), but I managed to still get through SuperHot okay on it.

PSVR
Not sure if the PSVR technically counts as a console, but I'm including it here anyway. Bought one of these for a great price and it came with a good number of games. The first one I played started playing was Skyrim VR.

Nintendo Switch
When I bought my Switch last year I had a huge list of games I wanted to play on it. The first one I played was Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
