They're should have been a sony Nintendo, Xbox Nintendo etc option.



Around the Network

For me, it's Playstation first, PC second.



There's 16 posters who picked PC but only 12 votes for PC. Seems like the PC fanbase is about equal to the Sony fanbase.

I still consider myself a "Nintendo fan", because I have been my entire life. However, how they handled the Wii U and many of the games they themselves put out for it, certainly has left a sour taste in my mouth. How they continue to handle certain things, in fact, even on the uber-popular Switch, I'm still not a huge fan of.

So I would say that while I am, in general, a "Nintendo fan", these days the games I find myself most interested in or excited about, tend to be indie games.



Around the Network

In the previous generations I was gaming primarily on PlayStation for home consoles and Nintendo for portable consoles, primarily because I was given a PS1 and a GameBoy Advance SP as kid and went on from there.

This generation I was lucky enough to get every major system, the PS4, the Switch and the XBone.
I split most of my gaming time between the PS4 and Switch, since there are so many games I'm interested in on both that I can't keep up with both at the same time (and study).
Still, I would probably align more with Sony, but Nintendo is not far behind, it's just I'm not as big on portability as most seem to be.

As for the XBone, I put it back in its box because I wasn't using it much at all, so now there's room for the Switch dock and my old PS3. I'll take it out first time they release something worthwhile.



Whichever gets best jrpg support.



Have a PC with an old quad core CPU but a GTX760 capable of handling most PC games.
Have every Nintendo machine bar the WiiU and Virtual Boy I think
Have every Sony console and handheld
Have every Sega Console bar the Nomad (missing the CD/32X addons)
Have the original Xbox and X360

Consoles from Neo Geo, Atari 800XL/2600, Nokia's NGage, Standalone Pong TV games....

So yeah, think it's fair to call me a gaming fanboy but not of any brand other than the one who's games I'm playing while sat in front of my TV or in a cafe waiting on people to arrive.

Multiple, I go where the games are.

I am rich enough to be able to enjoy multiple platforms.
Whenever I make lists of games I like, Nintendo tends to be on the top, followed by Sony.
Still, last generation I had a lot of fun with MS.
PC also has a lot of fun games (Simulation, SRPG, indies) but I have not bothered with a gaming PC for more than 10 years.

I think it's funny when people think that other's don't play on other platforms because of lack of money...

Aye, even in terms of the systems they play on, I've got 5 figures of disposable in the bank but still my PC heart is a Core2Quad Q6600 circa 2007 a now decade old processor, have my eyes on a Ryzen 7 for a while now but my PC.... is my PC, it was built by me some time ago but to be capable into the future, still hasn't let me down at all and I use it nightly for sessions of Overwatch with mates chucks out 1080/60 without much effort, I'll probably end up replacing it later this year but yeah... it's not for lack of cash, just lack of feeling the need to.

Same with the X1, mscalc tells me I could buy 67 of them right now, but yeah... would require space under my TV and I really don't feel the need for a console which doesn't have a stand out reason to exist in alongside my sick TV Pong game and PS4!

Can't be without that for 2 player local pong action!
