What consoles do you own this gen?

[TJC]

I'm a handheld freak because in the past few years it felt like the handheld market is where innovation and the fun stuff happened whereas the home consoles just got one FPS after another.
Thus, I have a 3DS (which, aside from the pretty awesome downloadable titles is headed towards the home console crap :c) and my trusty DS Phat which still works like a charm aside from its batteries that can't even survive 30 minutes without demanding a recharge.

Recently got myself a used wii, tho, for some of dem silly wii-waggle games to enjoy with my niece and nephew and to sucker them into gaming at an early age >8D

PS3....

along with my PC anything more seems excessive..I don't need to play every game in existance (though gears of war looks cool)

Don't worry Gears of War sucks
OT: all of them. I like my x-box controller wayyy better. Though I usually play on my pc now. I prefer fps's on my x-box or ps3. I use my pc for bethesda and bioware games(mass effect is on my x-box though being a shooter). I really only use my ps3 for exclusives now. I usually am on my pc(though I wish I had Witcher on my x-box because my laptop is a POS). I might play super smash bros or zelda on my wii some times.

 

[Hell-On-Wheels]

Haven't bought any of them. The last console I bought was the N64.

I slowly transitioned to PC gaming after I got that. I'm currently on my 4th home-brewed machine to date. Also have a laptop that does a decent job of it as well.

All I own now is a PS3. I used to have a DS, and I was also once given a Wii in lieu of pay for an old job, but I traded both in to buy the PS3. I also borrowed my old roommate's 360 and PSP long enough to play everything I cared to for them

Wii, DS (If that's still relevant), PSP, Vita, Ps3, Xbox 360, PC.


Favorite has to go to PS3 and Vita. So many great games... and free online. Same could be said for PC.

 

[SadisticBrownie]

I mostly PC game these days, but I have a 360 and a PS3. The 360 was easily my primary, I used the PS3 for replays of old PS1 games and its exclusives.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

I owned a 360 first and its still my console of choice.

The psp was my favorite handheld console of all time and I use it for everything.

I own a ps3 but mostly use it to watch utube on my tv and metal gear

The wii I won is for zelda and xenoblade....and dancing

I own a 3ds but I basically only use it so I can Have my LOL guides up at all time.

And PC came last and it has trumped all.

 

[Tony2077]

of this gen i own a ps3 and 360 altogether i own a ps2 psp a dead xbox, this 6 year old computer that can play any game i throw at it unless it bugged and doesn't work no matter what you do on windows 7

Wii: It was a family present, it was good for a while but for the last 2 years no good game came out whatsoever (well I could go out and look for them but I'm lazy ;3) Good for: the nintendo exclusives like fire emblem radiant dawn, metroid prime, smash brothers, etc.

PS3: It was a family purchase (paied 30-30-30-10% by the parents and all three brother, even the 11 years old one). Really good console IMO, and I'm a die hard pc gamer. Good for: the ps3 exclusives, the rare console game I feel like getting, getting my bros to stop buggering me for my computer. Demon soul and metal gear solid 4 are both really fun, and I plan to get some more games at some point

Nintendo DS: THE best console of this generation hands down,it has a MASSIVE library of game and tons of great ones and hidden gems. It's incredibly cheap (100$) and it's portable. Good for: the world ends with you, the rune factory games, the phoenix wright games to name only a few.

We've got a lot of disposable income it seems ;3

 

[Gaiseric]

I own a PS3. If I made more money I'd probably get a 360.

However, I am holding onto my buddy's 360 while he's in the Navy.

 

[johnnnny guitar]

I got a Xbox 360, PSP, Playstation 3 and a good PC
although I switch on and off each console I have them for specific purposes at the moment these are:
Xbox 360- Mainly for kinect games and certain multiplayer games
PS3-for the exclusives(console and Sony) and 3D gaming
PSP-ahhh let's move on shale we
PC- For superior graphics, PC exclusives, mods, Steam, 3D gaming again because games like trine 2 look amazing .

Yes I do. I prefer using analogue sticks than a mouse because I am more precise with them. When I try and use the mouse my sights go everywhere except the target.

 

[Sandernista]

I had a DS, but it died. I also own a 360 and a nice PC.

huh..that is strange

obviously I'm the other way around

 

[Faux Furry]

If we aren't counting old consoles that we still hold onto for retro gaming purposes or PCs, I have an Xbox 360 and a PS3 so I can experience both consoles' exclusives or play multi-platform games on whichever console runs the games as close as they can come to their ideal level of performance(as long as it wasn't originally made for PCs).
It is also in the event that I feel like letting my Xbox Live Gold lapse again, I can still play online multiplayer games on the PS3.

If I ever want to use those old save bonuses for Fire Emblemath of Radiance/Radiant Dawn again, I might buy a discount priced Wii bundle rather than borrow one. For any other Wii game that I own, I can wait for the release of the Wii U to play them once more.

 

[Poetic Nova]

For me, I have all three for specific purposes:

Wii: The Family-Friendly console that is good for family get-togethers and for any friends that are not a fan of violence. I hate that it does not have a lot of good games, or 720p resolution, and motion controls... fuck I hate this system

Xbox 360: Shooters and perhaps the rare exclusive that blows my mind (Alan Wake). The controller is perfect for playing FPSs. And the XBLA indie titles are AMAZING

PS3: RPGs and everything else. This is my preferred console. The exclusives are fantastic. I love to immerse myself in God of War, Uncharted, Resistance, 3D Dot Game Heroes ETC.

Alan Wake is not exclusive to 360, there's also on PC. This brings me to the next point (which is a matter of opinion), why should I buy 360 if I can play shooters on the master PC?

Alan Wake was originally Xbox exclusive for almost two years. It was one of the few exclusives it had. The 360s big problem is that apart from Halo, It has little to no exclusive games.

I also dislike mouse and keyboard controls which is apparently blasphemy for admitting that

I don't want to sound like a fanboy but X360 has more exclusives then you might think but alot of people never heard of them though.

May I ask what those exclusives are?

Deathsmiles (partially since it was an arcade game at first but the x360 version gets alot of extra stuff), Crackdown 1&2 (stick with the first one though) and BulletWitch to name a few.
