I’ve gone from PC to Xbox 360 to Nintendo Switch and very excited about the recent addition of a Steam Deck. Curious what y’all gaming on?

PC
All platforms. I own a Gaming PC, PS3, 4, 5. XBOX One, Nintendo Switch and an old school Nintendo, Sega Genesis, also have a Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo DS, and DS 3D.
I just love video games!
Definitely my Deck. I like being able to sit on the couch and play alongside my husband on his PS5, rather than being stuck at a desk. I’ve always played handhelds, like the PSP, gameboy/DS/switch.
PC. I just love mouse and keyboard too much.
Steam Deck for single player, PC for multiplayer.
PS5 and PC.
On PS5 it’s usually games like God of War and Horizon.
On PC it’s the occasional shooter, and I spend many hours on Satisfactory.
Occasionally I’ll find a fun game to play on my steam deck, but overall I don’t use it much. Make sure you evaluate the games that work on it before you spend to make sure you shouldn’t wait for the supported list to grow.
PC!
I have a Steam Deck and Switch too. The only reason I got an Xbox was for NHL games. There hasn’t been an NHL game on PC since 09.
I only play Block Dude and Phoenix on a TI86 calculator all day every day.
Beating Block Dude in HS Physics is hands down the greatest day of my life.
Nintendo Switch is my favourite console of all time. Almost all of my GOAT games have been released on it.
Nintendo 3DS is my favorite of all time 😁
If we are talking strictly console, then the xbox360 is my all time favorite console and preferred console, especially since my absolute favorite controller goes to them as well.
Otherwise, PC is just more convenient for the fact I can use a 3rd party 360 controller and play console games via dedicated emulators or RetroArch cores.
I have a few other consoles, but my desktop and 360 are most definitely my picks for what I’d use if given the choice.
If I had a hacked switch and my computer had better specs to run pokemon violet at even close to 30 frames per second, you bet I’d just back up my games onto my desktop and play them on it using my 3rd party 360 controller.
Just Nintendo Switch for me, it’s enough for the type of games I want to play and very convenient to play wherever I am
PC, mostly because I like KB+M. And if it’s a game that uses a controller, I have the steam deck.
My Switch because it runs retroarch and allows me to either dock it to my TV, third monitor, or play it on the go. Maybe if I got a steamdeck that would be my favorite, but I will have to wait a few more years until they’re cheap enough for me to afford.
I favor Xbox but I can play on any platform as I own them all. The backwards compatible efforts and couch comfort helped it win that dominance in my life.
