PC

All platforms. I own a Gaming PC, PS3, 4, 5. XBOX One, Nintendo Switch and an old school Nintendo, Sega Genesis, also have a Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo DS, and DS 3D.

I just love video games!

PC. I just love mouse and keyboard too much.

Definitely my Deck. I like being able to sit on the couch and play alongside my husband on his PS5, rather than being stuck at a desk. I’ve always played handhelds, like the PSP, gameboy/DS/switch.

Steam Deck for single player, PC for multiplayer.

PS5 and PC.

On PS5 it's usually games like God of War and Horizon.

On PC it's the occasional shooter, and I spend many hours on Satisfactory.

Occasionally I'll find a fun game to play on my steam deck, but overall I don't use it much. Make sure you evaluate the games that work on it before you spend to make sure you shouldn't wait for the supported list to grow.

Nintendo 3DS is my favorite of all time 😁

PC!

I have a Steam Deck and Switch too. The only reason I got an Xbox was for NHL games. There hasn't been an NHL game on PC since 09.

PC. For the price of a single console game, I could buy 5 pc games. Nothing can beat that pricing.

Just Nintendo Switch for me, it’s enough for the type of games I want to play and very convenient to play wherever I am

Got my deck earlier this week and have been loving it for emulation.

I went PC -> Switch -> Steam Deck. Also briefly PS1 when I was a kid. I'm a PC gamer at heart, probably gonna stick with it.

I favor Xbox but I can play on any platform as I own them all. The backwards compatible efforts and couch comfort helped it win that dominance in my life.

If we are talking strictly console, then the xbox360 is my all time favorite console and preferred console, especially since my absolute favorite controller goes to them as well.

Otherwise, PC is just more convenient for the fact I can use a 3rd party 360 controller and play console games via dedicated emulators or RetroArch cores.

I have a few other consoles, but my desktop and 360 are most definitely my picks for what I'd use if given the choice.

If I had a hacked switch and my computer had better specs to run pokemon violet at even close to 30 frames per second, you bet I'd just back up my games onto my desktop and play them on it using my 3rd party 360 controller.

I only play Block Dude and Phoenix on a TI86 calculator all day every day.

Nintendo Switch is my favourite console of all time. Almost all of my GOAT games have been released on it.

PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it's a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.

My Switch because it runs retroarch and allows me to either dock it to my TV, third monitor, or play it on the go. Maybe if I got a steamdeck that would be my favorite, but I will have to wait a few more years until they're cheap enough for me to afford.

PS (currently 5)

Greatest of all time had to be the Nintendo DS. Such an amazing library full of games that weren't afraid to try all kinds of crazy experiments.

Current-gen, my loyalty lies with Linux, even if the state of native ports isn't so great.

Steam deck/pc and ps5 have been my go to's for a while now

I have owned most platform and by far I think the PS is the best. The exclusives are a level above everything else.

I just play the games that interest me, doesn’t matter the platform. Right now I don’t have a series S/X console because none of the current gen Xbox exclusives interest me. I play cloud, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and sega

Xbox X, but I'm considering a Steam Deck for a more portable experience. I need to be able to play off line though.

PC and Nintendo Switch

PC->Steamdeck->=Switch

PC for most games, but I also use it for most things in general

Steamdeck for any mid-tier games that can run on it well, or games that i'll be playing while also doing other things. Also for portability

Switch for better portability if the quality will be more or less the same, since it's lighter, smaller, and doesn't heat up much/at all. But also pretty much strictly for portability. If I plan to use it on a screen i'll use steamdeck.

PC. I have never owned a console my entire life.

@Miczech@lemmy.ml @asklemmy@lemmy.ml I own a plethora of gaming consoles: NES, Genesis (original and Nomad, original Xbox and Xbox 360, PS1 and PS2, Wii, and Switch.

But my favourite is PC hands down. I own a Steam Deck and love it.

It depends on the scope - the Switch is great for playing on the go, PC is of course the most powerful of the bunch, and for the people that just don't like to tinker with everything there's the Xbox and PlayStation. And then of course there's the Steam Deck, which is roughly the best of each of the others.

I've been a playstation fan, right up until this year when I moved to the Switch. I travel for work a lot and decided to move to a portable, durable game system. Loving it so far, and I was pleasantly surpised at the number of games available.

My only complaints are not being able to back saves up to an SD card, and the controllers are a touch smaller than I would like but overall I'm very happy.

Steam deck for sure. Being on Linux is just the icing on the cake. I only play on the deck now and take it with me when I travel. I also use it to watch stuff from. I also love that valve are not rushing another model. There are many years left in the device. Also for emulation it just knocks it out of the park.

Atari 2600

PC. Sometimes Switch.

I currently play games on my PC, Switch, and Xbox Series S. I buy Xbox Anywhere titles whenever possible so I can enjoy it on my PC or Xbox!

I play a lot of MMOs on my PC laptop, but other than those I mostly use my Switch.

I play on PC but I think I've been tricked into it. I lost the muscle memory for controllers so it's too tricky now, andI already suck on PC the controllers just make me feel bad.

PC, PS5 and 3DS

They are more or less the same piece of hardware with different software in it. There are no reasons a console wouldn't do the same things that a PC does other than the devs put limits on what you can do with these. Consoles are crap made for stealing kids money
