Depends on what you want, are you into retro? Would you use a portable alot? Everyone is different so can't make that choice for you plus they all got their games, for most to choose just one.

Even on a pc you can go the rom way (Even WII U and 3ds if you got a good pc), heck even on the first xbox or WII you can run old stuff.

I got several consoles but just can't get around to them because i got so much on steam alone, plus the whole cords mess and 1 tv thing.

you might want to make this poll multiple choices, i personally have and play from time to time both ps3 and psp

I'm 20, never had any console, but Switch is the first one I'm going to buy (later this year).

What game console is legitimately worth buying?

It's really a matter of taste and how/where you want play. Personally, I think that from the current gen only PS4 Pro and Switch are worth getting. As for the older consoles I can't really tell since (as I've said) I've never had one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have a PS4, but I barely play it - now that I have a gaming laptop, everything's on here.

My girlfriend loves her Switch, though! She's put a lot of hours into it, playing Breath of the Wild, Stardew Valley, and Octopath Traveler. Since it has the highest amount of exclusives AND the best portability, I'd say it'd be the best to augment your PC gaming experience with.

I play on the PC, but I do have a PS2 as well.

If I could hook it up to my HDMI or VGA or Displayport monitor, I'd play some games on it. I have games there that I haven't even touched yet.

Scaler, LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, WRC and so on. I have some good stuff there, but I have no way to play them :/

I have an Xbox 360 and Wii U. I'm not playing much in general, and not much on them, but my kids occasionally do, and I sometimes join them.

In the long run, I expect to play more on the 360, because I have quite a few games for it I haven't played (such as the Halo series) and hope to play them with my son when he grows up a little more. (I don't think it would be a serious problem to play any Halo right now with him, but I'm not a huge fan of shooters and would rather keep him off them as long as I can. When he starts insisting he wants to play them, I want something which I feel is reasonably tame to offer. Then again, there's a chance he won't want to play what I want him to play.)

Switch (or any Nintendo Console) is the best Console for PC-Gamers, because BigN has different Gamingconcepts compared to PC-Games. While PS4 or Xbone games are nearly (if not exact) the same what we play on PC. And Switch is portable

I don't play on console much, but I have a Dreamcast and a Wii at home.

I have a PS3 that I used to play NHL and Rockband on. Now I'm 100% PC and have zero interest in console gaming. With Madden finally making the jump to PC for the first time since Madden 08, there's hope NHL might get the same treatment.

I don't have any consoles, but a good friend of mine who is PC gamer has PS4 just because he loves gaming and the exclusives are pretty good. So he encouraged me to try out the exclusives and holly molly they are good. One of my favorites are Read Dead Redemtion, The Last of Us, Uncharted 4 and God of War 3. Soon I will play Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War 4. Also I think PS4 exclusives are far far more superior to Xbox ones

wish I could vote for multiple choices cause I have 10 consoles and a pc

I was born in the '80s, in Europe. So, we literally grew up with NES and SNES systems - of course we hat Atari and Sega, the Commodore 64 and the first PCs, but we definitely spent years on our Nintendo consoles.
I still own a SNES console perfectly working with dozens of EU games, cassette modifiers and NA cassettes (due to region locking, games such as Chrono Trigger and all the other ones released only in Japan and North America we were forced to import them and adapt them to our systems)!
So I definitely keep it functioning and I play the Mortal Kombat series, Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, all the Mario and Yoshi games, Final Fantasy games and all the other JRPGs - Breath of Fire, Super Mario RPG and so on, Donkey Kong Country.. and many more!!

I have a PS4 for the Sony exclusives, many of which are fantastic, and a few other games that may be on PC but I just prefer to play on my couch. If the versions aren't drastically different I do prefer the experience of playing from my couch rather than at my desk. Games like Assassin's Creed look great on PS4 and I prefer to play them there.

Got a Switch and PS4 for the exclusives and stuff, but it's mostly my sis that uses them. Tried playing Horizon, but I really can't stand aiming with a controller. You're better off just using a real gun. On yourself :P

Otherwise, I still use my 3DS heaps. I also have a Vita that exists purely for all the weeb games. Playing Persona on that was great.

I'm too broke for this whole 'use for maybe a couple years' crap, though. PC is bae.

The only console that I had was the original Gameboy. I was thinking of getting a Switch, but apparently Nintendo doesn't intend to include their virtual console for this platform and modding your console will not only affect that devise, but your account. So I did some digging and found some sort of gaming tablet that would allow me to run all those awesome games from my childhood through emulators. GPD XD+

I have a PS3 that I haven't touched for about a year. I originally bought it to play with friends, but that changed quickly. The console came with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and I quickly fell in love with the series. I still have a few exclusives to play, such as Infamous, Resistance, The Last of Us, Katamari Forever, and a handful of others. My personal favorite exclusive is the LittleBigPlanet series. Karting was a disappointment and 3 was mediocre, but the first and second game were amazing. You had a potentially infinite game with extremely creative creators designing levels that were on par with the ones that were in the actual story. Overall, it was fun to play solo, but a blast to play with others.

PS3/4 for exclusives/local multiplayer only and an old and probably broken Gameboy Classic laying around somewhere.
GTA V and The Last of Us were great experiences, Beyond Two Souls was good. Still have to play especially Red Dead Redemption and the Uncharted series.

I own a Wii, SNES mini, a DS lite and a 3DS. They each get about the same attention at the moment.

I have a ps3 dusting away in a closet somewhere. I have no interest in the exclusives, so it was mostly a Netflix/Plex machine.

I have a Gamecube, PS1, SNES, and Genesis. Original DS for mobile.

In the recent years I had a PS3, PS4 , Vita and I still have a Switch. I owned several systems since the days of NES and Gameboy, but never any Xbox.
