Forums - Gaming - Primary Console each gen

Let me get this straight, you bought a Wii, didn't live up to your expecatations, but you recently bought a PS3 and are very impressed by it......so the next thing you plan on buying is a Wii U?

Did you not learn anything from your past experiences? Have you not seen how poorly the Wii U is being supported, even by Nintendo themselves?

4th: SNES (It was the only thing I owned, never played Sega unless it was at a friend's/relative's.)
5th: N64. I had a PS1 as well, but I was in love with Nintendo's 1st party games at the time.
6th: Very weird gen. My love for the 5th gen was still strong, so I spent a lot of time on my N64 & PS1 still. I had an Xbox, PS2, & GCN though, I think PS2 was my most played of the three but it was really close.
7th: Wii if only counting home consoles, though PC if that counts.
8th: As of now it's still PC, though I own a Wii U as well.

I did have consoles on the side and still do, thought I wouldn't call them primary.

The Nintendo 3DS has "much more crisper looking" graphics then PC. (if you have the 3D ON, LOL but true)

o_O; Okie Dokie? It's definitely more aliased on my XL so I guess crisp works.

5th gen - Sony PlayStation (Sega Saturn was close 2nd, though...)
6th gen - Sony PlayStation 2 (Dreamcast 2nd)

For me it was:
DOS
NES
Genesis
N64
PS2
XBOX360

handheld it went
GB
GBC
GBA
DS
3DS

I own all of the consoles of every gen starting from 16-bit days (minus the TG16), but these have been generally my favorite and main used. I LOVED game gear, it had sonic and a colour backlit screen... it just didnt have pokemon LOL.

Actually, if you check out Wikipedia list of Wii U & PS4 games, well the Wii U has much more better 3rd Party western game support, but the 3DS has the best 3rd Party Japanese support.

I myself didn't buy a Wii & PS3, because the games shown for both were to weak of a library per system for my taste. I ended up only getting a DS. I was going to get a PSP but the listed game library was almost noing for me, so I ended up not getting it for tis 2 games (Final Fantasy Crisis Core & Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep).

The Wii & PS3 has recently got a respectful game library per system for me, but now there's the Wii U & PS4 to play the old gen games and e current gen games.

I choose the 3DS by itself for Handhelds because of the Wikipedia List of games for 3DS & PlayStation Vita. I haven't seen a single game on the PS Vita list of games on Wikipedia to buy it.

It best to compare the List of games in each system that is shown on Wikipedia before buying a single system. For instance, the 3DS is getting a New original Persona game: "Persona (working title)" as well as Batman exclusive and a 3rd Resident Evil game and Project X Zone & Bravely Default Flying Fairy also coming to the west. As well as Lego City Undercover Prequel & a lot of other awesome titles.

Please play GameCube games on your Wii.



5th gen-GBC Pokemon Silver mostly.

6th gen-Gamecube did not own a Xbox or PS2 but did play a bit of both at friend's.

7th gen-Mostly PC actually. Pretty much gave up on DS and Wii after my DS went missing and Wii no games. Then SS and Xenoblade got me back in

8th gen-Looking to Nintendo/PC combo. Need a decent gaming comp 1st. Saving up as of the moment.
