PS5 mainly. I do have a gaming pc but at the moment I'm just casual gaming on the sofa when I have time. I love the PS5, I think it's the best Sony console since the PS2.
I have my main PC, plus a retro gaming / emulation machine for the living room, and an anbernic RG 351 MP (handheld) that can emulate just about everything up to the N64. All GNU/Linux.
I mostly play steam games, plus Xonotic, Beyond All Reason, and Veloren. I've been playing Animal Crossing with my partner lately, and Windwaker on the living room machine.
I just don't see much value in mainstream consoles these days when you could instead have a proper computer and all the versatility that brings.
I've never owned a decent gaming machine, for various reasons. Cost was a big factor. Another was the fact that I was never a big "gamer". Very little desire to play the big, popular, AAA games in general. The games I did play, I played on a very old PC, and the performance was what you'd expect from low end hardware; but I just never had any desire to build my own gaming rig.
The Steam Deck is perfect for my use case:
I have no desire to run Windows
I have no desire to build my own gaming machine
I have no desire to get locked into a console ecosystem (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc).
I can play handled, docked to a monitor with keyboard and mouse, docked to a monitor with a controller, docked to a TV, etc etc
I can play games built for Windows
I can play games with native Linux builds
I can play Steam games, Epic games, DRM-free games, emulated games, etc, etc
I can do whatever the hell else I want to do with it. For example, maybe I might want to run Kodi on it, and connect to my Jellyfin server at home to watch a movie if I'm staying at a hotel. Whatever. It's just a computer like any other. I can do whatever I want.
I think I've probably played more new (to me) games since buying my SD than in all the years (decades) previous, and I love it.
This is a PC household, I gave my 3 kids their own computers and steam accounts and I have a PC and a steam deck I don't think my kids even know how to use a controller
PC exclusively nowadays. Not a fan of forced obsolescence rampant in consoles. Maybe the odd phone game to pass the time, but those are usually the most basic of games.
For all of my gaming needs, I have a desktop PC running Linux as well as a Steam Deck. I recently came back from a trip that had me using my Steam Deck a lot, and it was great.
Primarily my PC. AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Radeon RX 580, 16Gb RAM, running OpenSUSE as my OS. I have a PS4 I keep around basically just for Bloodborne at this point, and a Switch for Pokémon and Monster Hunter. Less so the second, now that the newer releases are coming to PC.
PC mainly, AMD 5800X and and a GTX1080. Unfortunately it's located in my bedroom, so so for late night gaming I am limited to my Xbox series X. I do have a Switch sitting in it's dock ready to be used but I don't ever seem to have the desire to do so.
Mostly PC. Windows 10 (I tried Linux and noped out for a number of reasons unrelated to gaming). Nvidia 1070 that's still trucking along just fine and allowing me to play even the newest games (so glad I upgraded not too long before the GPU market went to shit).
Also I fucking love the Nintendo New 3ds XL. Long live the 3ds. It ain't dead to me, and won't be until an actual 3DS successor (aka, another handheld with 3D, and preferably dual-screen, so the switch does not count) appears, however far into the future that may be.
Windows PC. Why? Modding, first and foremost. Gaming without mods is like pizza without toppings—it'll do in a pinch, but it's nowhere near as good.
I've also, at various times, gamed on:
My phone
My Linux desktop
A Nintendo DS Lite
An SNES
A Nintendo Game Boy
But the vast majority of my gaming has long been on PC. I've been a PC gamer almost from the very beginning, thanks mostly to the fact that the first gaming-capable device I had consistent access to was my parents' 486 PC, and in all these years, this platform has never let me down.
These days I'm mostly playing on the switch. I also have a PC but it's more difficult to find time to play on it sometimes since I have to play it at my desk
For me it's mostly a mix of my Switch and my PC. My fiancé has an OG 3DS we occasionally play some stuff on, and I've been meaning to finish off Paper Mario: Color Splash on our Wii U.
Need to fix up my PC though, thing keeps crashing occasionally and has been for a long time now with no clear reason to why :/ think I've ruled it down to RAM or SSD.
I general stick with a GBC or GBA with an Everdrive, as well as a DSi with custom firmware. It gives me the benefit of original hardware without paying the absurd retro game prices.
My vision sucks due to double vision so I have to use handheld to get it close enough to my face to see it. (the farther away things are, the more the two images split apart) So it's Switch and Steam Deck for me.
I used to be PS / PC, but with Steam, I just game on PC. I have a livingroom PC with xbox controllers for the couch experience, but don't see the point of having a console anymore.
I have a PC, Switch, and my Android. I mostly use RetroArch and transfer saves between the PC and Android. I also play Fortnite, but only on the PC. I rarely use the switch.
Just PC, emulation all the way up to PS3 and Switch is so good, I don't really see a need for any console for me since I have so many games that I've never had the opportunity to play when I was younger.
Some Lenovo desktop I got on sale at Costco in December. Was waffling between AMD and Intel (GPU is Nvidia 3060), went with Intel because all my research indicated it was better performing at the price than Ryzen, but I have no idea if my use case makes a difference. I am still using a 27'' 1080p monitor I got probably 10 years ago.
Immediately put Linux on it without ever booting into Windows. I tried to get Fedora and Pop OS working, but for some strange reason it did not work. Ended up going with MX Linux, which I love.
PC most of the time. Currently running Arch Linux and loving it. I still have a Windows 10 partition just to run BlazBlue: Centralfiction because it doesn't recognize a 2nd controller so I can't play local multiplayer. Aside from that, couldn't be more happy with Linux.
A custom PC that runs modern games on good settings but is also designed to run quietly. Fan noise bugs me.
I wish I could say that I built it myself (I used to build my own systems, years ago). But instead I paid way too much for it. I'm happy with it, but yeah...build your own if you have the time and energy!
I go back and forth between Steam (PC or Steam Deck) and my Switch, depending on what I'm playing. I do have a PS5 which I'll use mostly for Sony exclusives... like FF16 is going to be a PS5 play for me.
I built my first ever gaming pc this year so I've been trying to get through an infinite backlog of pc games that I've missed over the years. But as of right now all my focus is going towards TOTK on Switch
PC and PS5. Bought an Ultrawide monitor at one point last year and that's been a little bit of a game changer for me so I'm pretty entrenched as a PC main.
My PS5 lives in the living room and my wife uses it more than I do, but God of War made that purchase all the way worth it for me with how much I enjoyed that game haha.
It used to be a desktop gaming PC connected to a TV. I sold my house and went on the road for a bit, so the full-fat gaming PC couldn’t come along. I replaced it with a gaming laptop. I have a SteamDeck that I use on the airplane/train/whatever and occasionally when I don’t feel like getting out the laptop.
I mainly play on my desktop PC, which dual boots Windows and Arch (obligatory I use Arch BTW) though I do have an Xbox One that I used to use before I got into PC gaming.
I also have a Nintendo Switch, which I primarily picked up because I tend to have a lot of hospital stays and it makes things a bit easier during those trips.
Finally, I also have an older MacBook Pro that runs Fedora on it, which I don't use too much (and certainly not for gaming) but it's there in case I need it!
My gaming desktop PC is my primary gaming rig. I run linux on there and its honestly been great, I've been really happy with my 7900XTX and it plays all games I want at 4K. My steam deck is a close second for portable/sofa gaming.
Mostly my computer, but I've also got my PS3 beside me on the desk. For the whole family to use elsewhere is a PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, and Wii U together, and yonder elsewhere is a PS2, N64, and a Sega Genesis. Sounds like a lot, and I also think we oughta slim that down. Too much stuff that not enough of us use to justify it.
I was always a big Xbox gamer, but after I got an Xbox Series X and found that the games I play have almost no online users. So I got a PS5 and turned off my Xbox, its a whole level above Xbox.
I do some gaming on Linux (Stellaris, Crusader Kings, Endless Space 2) for strategy games.
Right now I'm mainly gaming on my Switch for Nintendo first-party games, and Steam Deck for most of the rest. I have a Linux workstation that has an RX6600, so I use that for the more demanding titles, or when I just want keyboard/mouse.
I have a PC and a Nintendo Switch I swore I was gonna use when TOTK until giving myself a heaping backlog to get through on my pc before I start a new game anywhere- so the switch gathers dust still.
I primarily game on PC. I also own a Switch and a PS5, and most major consoles released since the NES.
All my old consoles live in plastic bins with all their relevant cables and controllers. Most have flash carts or mods that allow me to load ROMs off external storage. When I want to play some SNES or PS1 I just pull the relevant box off of the shelf and plunk it down by my RetroTINK or my PVM.
PC and Switch over here. Switch is mostly for Nintendo games but the game I've played the most on it is Stardew Valley, the portability rocks. I am looking forward to picking up a Steam Deck in the near future though.
I own everything, but I'll be honest my preferred way to play right now is on my Steamdeck. Being able to play PS4 quality games on the sofa whilst the kids/partner has the TV is a game changer for me.
I primarily play games on PC. I have a Switch that I use every once in a while, and I recently bought a Retroid pocket 3+ for emulating games on a handheld.
Mainly PC or Switch. I was PS4 all last gen but switched to PC due to Sony's scummy practices. I also had a Deck briefly but the subpar hardware wasn't very enjoyable.
Mostly PC, I have a PS5/PS4, switch, and xbox series as well. The xbox is basically collecting dust as most games that come out there are also on PC. The PS5 gets some use when there's an exclusive and the switch is somewhere.... I just don't know where.... Maybe in the couch?
Xbox Series S ATM. I tried PC gaming for a while but I found I didn't actually do much gaming if I was using a PC and it is just easier for me to have a dedicated system for it.
my current setup is a System76 Galago Pro laptop with a Logitech Gamepad F310. i'm really happy with my laptop, it's lightweight but still packs a Nvidia GTX 1650, an i7, and 16 GB of RAM. it runs Fedora Linux, but compatibility is mostly a non-issue since i get my games through Steam and Steam Play is pretty dang good nowadays. the Logitech Gamepad i use is also good, only cost me $20 and has everything you might expect from a controller except for haptics
Up until recently I was using my steamdeck for the majority of my gaming due to it being faster than my PC and, but since then I've changed careers and work from home now so I've built myself a new Linux PC and use that for the majority of my gaming.
