i don't "Main" a Console i buy whatever i want to play assuming i can afford it.

the concept of "Maining" a console just seems stupid to me



Megadrive
PS One
PS2
X360



 

Consoles on left hand side show preference.
SNES/Genesis
N64/ PC
Xbox/PC/PS2
PC/Xbox 360
Next gen: Probably PC/Nextbox (ill probably get it for its multimedia features more than for gaming)



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

I plan to buy a PS3 once "Beyond 2 Souls" and "The Last of Us" are out...and if they're THAT good.


You do know that the 3DS has much more crisper looking graphics then PC? (thanks to the 3D effect)

You can't be serious. 


The Nintendo 3DS with the 3D ON has much more crisper "Looking" graphics then HD graphics, Literally.

Ur saying in any given generation there wasnt a console u spent more time playing than others? Because thats all this thread is about, for example if during the 6th gen u owned a ps2 and xbox but u owned over 20 ps2 games and only 5 xbox games then ps2 would be your prinary console that gen.

i believe he's asking about which console you "gamed" on the most and was your favorite

or which console was "your" console if you know what i mean

 

you know how like if you hear an old song and then your like"man THAT SONG WAS MY SH!T back in the day"

or like how most people like all types of chips but they just have a soft spot for that specific flavor or kind

he's talking about what game console naturally became your main during each gen



Atari 2600
Atari 7800
Sega Master system
Sega Mega Drive
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
GameCube (like the OP, my personal fovourite console ever)
Wii (main console) Xbox 360 (rrod, put me off getting another one) PS3 (got late in the gen, but still use it,great console)
Wii U ( i will be a Wii U only gamer this gen,as i cant afford multiple consoles this time around, very impressed with it)
Handhelds
DS
3DS (best handheld of all time)

This one's different. I started with one console. Then once it "died", my time was split pretty evenly between 2 others.

Followed by:

 

And this one: 

  • 7th Gen:

Started with:

But then it RRODed and I lost confidence in it and Microsoft. It was my first to ever fail on me. Although I took care of it just as well as any of my other consoles, so... After this, I never used it nearly as much.

Plus,  MGS4 finally came out:
