Ever quit gaming or thought about quitting gaming?

[S.Peelman]

I basically quit console gaming during the majority of the 6th generation.

After the mind-blowing 5th Gen, the 6th Gen was to me very lackluster. When the Dreamcast was discontinued and the GameCube turned out to be a disappointment almost right away that was basically it for me. When you already had a DreamCast, the PS2 wasn't that appealing anymore because at a glance it looked the same. On top of that the GameBoy Advance never really caught on with me. To this day I only have 5 games for the system, 3 of which are remakes.

So I turned to the PC, with my consoles and handhelds being used only sporadically. Luckily, to me the era of PC games that came out during the 6th Gen turned out to be some of the best games ever. Almost all of my most favorite PC games hail from these years. With the PS3 and the Wii though I got back into console gaming, and later the DS rekindled my fondness of handhelds and the tables have turned again. Now I barely touch my PC anymore.

Going into the 8th Gen, the 3DS is by far the strongest participant in my opinion. I have the WiiU at least for Zelda (which was basically all I did console-wise in the 6th Gen), but sadly neither the PS4 nor the XBOX One have been compelling for me. I can see myself quitting someday though if my interest in new games continues to decline, then I'll just stick to all my old games anyway. I hope that will change otherwise it'll be like the early 2000's all over again...
