The only major console I've missed since 1999 was the original Xbox. Before that, I bought everything Nintendo and Sony ever made. I grabbed a couple of Sega consoles, too. I just like gaming.

Not cost-effective, but I certainly don't see why it would be unusual.

No but its very unusual for fanboys to own multiple consoles.

I've recently found this channel called "console wars" on YouTube. Its low budget but I've fallen in love with it. Anyway, they focus on comparing games between the SNES and Genesis.

During that era, I only had the SNES and I automatically assumed that I was getting the best experience 100% of the time over those underpowered Sega fanboys. It was kinda shocking to see that, quite often, the Genesis games were better.

That's what happens when you're a blind fanboy (as I was back then). Now, I embrace every console and I've learned that there's more to having the best experience than just power. I think I'm much happier, now.

Doesn't the Nintendo Switch Online service already do that now with Cloud Save back-up?  

I usually just play on Playstation because in every gen it is the lead platform where most of the big and important games release.

Seriously owning a Playstation is more than enough to enjoy video gaming imo.

There have been two constants in my gaming life:

Owning a Nintendo system (starting with the NES) and owning a PC (starting with the Tandy 1000). Everything else always revolved around that. In recent generations I've also added Playstation to that mix, but it's not a given. I was also a big fan of the original XBOX but with each generation, that line of consoles has gotten less and less interesting to me.

So I will ALWAYS buy the new Nintendo system, and I will regularly upgrade/replace my gaming PC as it lags behind. And the current Playstation system generally rounds out that combo with any must-play exclusives. But I'm not married to the brand. If XBOX comes out swinging next gen with some serious exclusive action, I could be swayed in their direction. Or I could get neither if the exclusives just aren't there.

Playstation this gen has been fantastic.... its my only current gen system (wii U doesnt belong to same gen I feel).
I kinda want to get a Switch though.

tbh dont feel like Im missing out by not haveing a xbox.

"Is it unusual to game on multiple consoles in a gen?"

I think more people than not, stick with just 1 system.

1 console is more than enough for me. I will stick with Sony. If Microsoft can have decent games next gen I may consider gaming PC.

This was worded incorrectly. Maybe change the title to "Is it NORMAL to game on multiple consoles in a gen?". I also assume you dont include PC on this since pretty much everyone has one.
