If you sell them, you WILL rebuy them. And when you do? They will be three times as expensive to buy. In short? Don't sell them! Even if it seems like the right idea, just don't. Trust me.

I'll be holding on to my systems until I die and then, they'll be passed on to my family.

I can see why people would get rid of consoles that aren't used frequently anymore... I'm not one of them though. I like to keep my entire gaming set ups around.

I keep my Nintendo consoles because they sell so poor (especially by AUS standards to other consoles) they will sell for more as retro consoles later if i ever decide to sell them.



 

 

I always used to sell them however now older and with a family I am keeping them for the kids.



Hell to the yeah….. I still have my PS3, PS2, Sega Dreamcast, PS1.

I still enjoy plying my ps2 classics allot.

I keep all of my consoles. Lost a few in a bad break up years ago unfortunately, but I pretty much hoard all of my old stuff. Makes no sense to give them away IMO.

Yes, especially if they work. I have the bad habit of keeping pretty much everything I get, so I have many things that are much more useless than old gaming consoles (even if I don´t play them).
But yes you should keep it, if you can.



I sold my PS3 last year in need for money and will forever regret it. What a sinner I am.



I'd like to, but I move around too often and don't generally play the older ones enough to make it worthwhile.In time, I'll wish I had my Wii back as it was such a great system with its ability to play GC games, emulate and play its own games on top of that, but I know I wouldn't have touched it over the next few years and so it made sense to get rid of it. Money and convenience sadly mean more to me than nostalgia at this point in time.



Oh boy, yes. Still have my PS1, Saturn, DC, GC, PS2, Wii. My NES just plain stopped working so I don't have that anymore and my Genny was lost. Otherwise I'd still have those. I do most of my gaming on PC and PS4 these days, but I like holding on to the old hardware.
