If you had to choose one console (Xbox Series X/S, PS5, etc.) Which would you choose and why?

i pick nintendo switch because i can take it anywhere i need it

I'll be honest...I have a secret Switch Lite I have in a case fully charged. I have it for emergencies in the power goes out. It's that dark blue gamecube like color.

It's hidden, in my underwear drawer, and I've had it since that color released and probably have under 2 hours play time...but its there...just waiting...

Switch. Most of the good games on PS4/5 and XBOX X are not exclusive and are on Steam.

Sony censors games and while I like optional censoring, I don't like forced censoring,

My sticks and stones that break my bones is pretty good entertainment.
Overall, I still use my Xbox One S and I love it. Just a personal taste, and I also love the great deals and gamepass on Xbox. Also specifically, Sea of Thieves.

I own consoles going all the way back to the NES. (Since that was my first one. I have no nostalgia for older machines.)

I have an NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Wii, PS4 Pro, and Switch.

I even though I've been pretty well neck-deep in consoles my entire life, I have absolutely no desire to buy any newer console than the PS4 Pro and Switch that I already have. I sincerely believe that the Switch will be my last true console.

The thing is, (Ignoring jailbreaks and emu***ion.) my console games are great fun, but they aren't forever. I'm already losing games to disc rot, and the systems I own will eventually give up. Let's use the original Legend of Zelda as an example. I have it for NES, and it's great fun. It came out for Gameboy Advance some time later, and it didn't matter that I already bought it for the NES, I would have to buy it again to play it on my GBA. Wii virtual console release hit, and even though I already bought it on NES and GBA, I would need to buy it again to play it on my Wii. Today we have the Switch, and in order to play it legitimately, I can't even buy it. I have to subscribe to a service to have access to it. It doesn't matter that I already paid for the game 5-6 times prior. $20-$50 per year.

Compare that to my PC. I still have a floppy disc with Jill of the Jungle on it that I got when I was a kid. It still reads okay, but I know I can't count on that forever. Doesn't really matter though, because I can happily copy that data to any other kind of storage medium, infinitely.

Now while my preferred method to play Jill of the Jungle is via DOS in front of the Pentium 1 PC I built for that purpose, Gravis Gamepad in hand, I can happily play it on my modern Ryzen PC with no issues either by using Dosbox, or by booting into FreeDOS. I'll be loading it into my Steam Deck so I can play it there. 30 years from now, I'll probably still be able to load it up and play it using whatever neurally connected quantum computer I'll be using from the old-folks home.

My hope is that the Steam Deck is the first glimpse of console's final metamorphosis into PCs. Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox won't be hardware you buy, they'll be platforms to play PC games on.

Therefore the one console I would choose would have to be a PC.

None i hate controllers of all types, i just cannot use them at all..

I would be astonished if a modern console game couldn't handle M+KB input.

I mean, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 made in-game use of a USB keyboard, and that was a PS2 game. Didn't use it for the main control but you would think over the last 20 years, these things would have made progress.

PS5 for the dualsense and touchpad controller. Plus the OS looks better than Xbox's imo

[Azami]

PC. Most of the things I want to play are already on the computer. Plus, there are emulators. I would only ever get a console if there was some exclusive game I want to get.

[Decathect]

OP if you HAD to have a console, I've checked out my nephews PS5 and my daughter has a Xbox Series S, and my son an xbox series X...

Xbox Series X....then Series S....in that order.

Forget the PS5.

That's my opinion.

[Psychlapse]

Switch. The ps5 and x/x are just premade gaming pcs anyway. The Switch has useful features I dont get with my pc.

[it's love]

the donda player

[Vendicator Senpai]

3DS

First person shooters would be so much better on consoles.. I'd actually buy a console if they made Keyboard and Mouse a default option.
