I am 85% Nintendo, with PC to fill in the support gaps.
Nintendo + Xbox.
I had a PS2 but that vanished at... some point, and I have a PS3, pretty entirely for Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet & Clank, and Uncharted. I'll get likely a PS4 for Ratchet, Uncharted, Nier, and Horizon after the PS5 comes out.
With the lack of Xbox exclusives (and the only one I really care about, Gears, not being exclusive anymore), I want to get PC next gen, but I doubt the people I play with will ever switch from Xbox. Sadness.
I've bought every Nintendo console since the GBA. I need my Mario, Kart, Zelda, Smash, Xenoblade, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Splatoon, Metroid, and Pokemon
Overall it's generally been Nintendo/Sony>MS. (MS distant third by a considerable amount). Then far, far into the distance, with a pair of binoculars, you might see the lonely PC fan, hair billowing to the jet fans of an overclocked PC, crying out, wanting people to acknowledge the platform.
It depends how well each company is doing per generation though. We have a lot of returning and new Nintendo fans, now that they are relevant again in the home space. A lot of MS fans seem to have disappeared, and so too have many of the super hardcore PS fans, now that there is no longer a call to arms. It's interesting to watch the ebbs and flows.

Xbox is at 6% because people are waiting for The Beast.
Wait
What?

Well, it is certainly the case for some people. I see it posted on here all the time - "I want X system, but my budget won't support it right now", and other statements like that. I didn't read his statement as saying that money is the only reason a gamer would stick with one platform. He just said that it isn't a limiting factor for him.

I align myself with Sony, because Polyphony Digital, Santa Monica, San Diego, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Guerrilla Games have constantly delivered the best experinces in interactive entertainment for the last two decades. Also because they always offer innovative new ways to play every gen (Eye Toy, PS Move, PSVR). However, I absolutely hate the way they have handled their hardware, and their ecosystem. So much wasted potential, in a company that has all the tools to make the most euphoric harmonized marriage of hardware and software we have ever seen. |
You hate it because you have this ridiculous pipe dream of Sony making like a dozen different models of playstations for developers to support simultaneously, including $1500 Playstations and Sony is not dumb enough to do it because they aren't in the business of losing their shirts. You hate it because you think Sony should be making their own operating system that will marry all of their devices together so TVs, phones, Car stereos, game consoles etc will all be interconnected pretty much in the same way they are now, just done in a convoluted, nonsensical proprietary way, because this makes sense to you, and literally no one else.
I hope you keep hating Sony forever, because they day you start liking Sony is the day Sony takes a nosedive.

Well if money isn't that much of a factor why are most home consoles sold when the console starts costing $200 or less?
I usually buy all or most of consoles available, but I've always belonged to Nintendo
Lately most of my playing time was on 3DS/ WiiU, & now it's 3DS/ Switch
Xbox is obviously the best. People are just afraid to admit it :P
Seriously, I would think the Nintendo and Sony fanbases are about even, with Xbox/Microsoft a distant third.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
