Option 1 - Ps2, awesome as it is, cant carry alone, Wii is ok, XOne is mid.
Option 2 - Switch is great, Ps3 is ok with some good games, dont care much for OG Xbox at all.
Option 3 - Ps4 is great, XseriesX is okay, GC is ewww.
Option 4 - Ps5 is great, 360 is good and its the best Xbox imo, and WiiU might be mid but it does have a couple of noticeable standout games in its library.

Gotta go option 4.

SNES and Genesis.

Two systems I can't afford to lose. If BC was allowed, then I wouldn't be able to lose PS5 or Wii because they can play PS4 and GameCube respectively while having their own libraries as well.

I picked the same option as you if you didn't see. I take it Xbox Series is just a leftover for your pick. 

I gotta say I’m surprised the PS2 option isn’t getting more love. I figured that system alone would give it a big boost, and Wii and XOne would just be gravy.

I also thought WiiU would drag down option #4 but that seems to be the 2nd most popular one.

Ok, but I still stand by my choice, because I still have the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, Tomb Raider Remastered and Super Mario 3D All-Stars for my Retro desires. =D

For me, the Switch by itself is equal to or better than any of the other full options so that makes Option 2 an easy pick for me. I just wish I could switch out the Xbox for the GC or even the PS4 (just to get the best versions of my favorite 7th gen games like Bioshock and Uncharted 2).

This is a tough one.

The PS3/Switch/Xbox combo for me would be carried entirely by the Switch. The problem there is, I liked the PS3, but most of what I really loved on PS3 is on the Switch. The only thing the PS3 would add for me is Fallout 3 and NV. SWTOR and Doom 3, among the few Xbox games I was interested in, are also on Switch.

Option 4 would be interesting. PS5 would play all PS4 titles as well. Wii U would have Wind Waker, Twilght Princess, and a respectable lineup of Nintendo's older consoles, at least their first party stuff, plus backwards compatibility with Wii U. X360, I'd probably only play Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which are not available natively on PS4/PS5, most of the games I liked there are on PS4/PS5.

Option 1 would give me the superlative PS2 library, the Wii, which had great games in its own right and backward compatibility with the amazing Gamecube, so that's a lot of Zelda, and X1, which would give me a lot of games that are available on recent PS/Switch, Fallout (lol).

So of these, maybe Option 1.

WiiU-backwards compatiable

PS5- best of the new era of consoles
