Multi console owners: what console do you play on most and why?

At the moment I got a PS4, a high end PC, a 3DS and an Xbox One. I've also owned a WiiU this generation. Pretty much using the PC for about 90% of my gaming time, the PS4 for 9% and the rest for 1%. If the PC doesn't count than the PS4 is my most played console., mostly for Destiny. I also prefer the Dual Shock 4 controller even on PC.
 
This gen is the first time I've owned more than two home consoles. Xbox One and PS4.

The console I PLAY on the most is the PS4 and it's because I'm sucked into their ecosystem. All multiplats I play on ps4 because of the time investment in trophies that I have put in over the years.

Many of my friends play on ps4 (which is weird because that definitely was not the case last gen)

My Xbox One is great but I got it to play exclusive only Xbox titles on it, BC has been awesome for all those X360 games I didn't play last gen. It's also my streaming box in that I watch Netflix, Showtime, HBO and Amazon Instant on it.
 
I have PC, PS4, XBO, WiiU.
I play mainly on PC, because it has the most exclusives I like, and the best version of most multiplatform games I care about.
 
Wii u: all i'm going to play now is Zelda TPhd and then the console is dead to me

Xbox one: the last game i bought for it was Halo 5 and i played it for 6 months but i stopped because Overwatch is coming very soon, so pretty much Xbox one is dead to me unless Scalebound turns out great because there is absolutely zero exclusive games i'm interested in for the system

Ps4: this is where i play everything on daily basis
 
This might sound lame, WiiU and Ps owner here... But I've been cheating with my PC, too much cool stuff going on right now.
 
PS4 and Vita. However, my Wii-U has been getting a lot of play with Star Fox and my 3DS gets frequent use because of Tetris.

I will be getting a One sooner or later. We will see if things change when I do, but I sorta doubt it.
 
Depends on the game really and who I want to play with.

Mainly PS4, unless I feel I will get a better play experience using teh Elite controller then I choose Xbox One. Wii U just for exclusives.

PC if it's an MMO or RTS
 
It's really hard to tell, i think I may play both pretty equally. My Wii U gets a ton of play time for Smash Bros. And I personally put a decent amount of time into Pokken Tournament, Super Mario Maker and Splatoon. But sometimes my Wii U gets played when other people play it.

Now my Xbox One I play alot more for single player stuff buy every now and again me and friends do get good Mortal Kombat X or Killer Instinct sessions.
 
Currently playing my newly bought ps4 (enjoying bloodborne other niche japan games)

played the crap out of my Xbone since launch

but man the Ds4 such a shitty controller
 
i own all of them and it depends on what i'm playing. i play most multiplats on either Pc or Xbox because of the controller. But my PS4 gets plenty of use too.
 
PC, PS4, PS3, PSV, 2DS.

Since getting a serious PC lately, my PS4 usage was nuked from high orbit... entire weeks gone without turning it on, with the occasional exception (Ratchet and Clank). There's gonna be an upswing this weekend as I roll through Uncharted 4 (and play my unopened Nights of Azure? I'm still on the fence), but more or less my "home" gaming is on PC nowadays.

Portable wise, my Nintendo gaming has been undergoing a renaissance (previously, it was all Vita, all the time). I sold my 3DSXL to my friend and purchased a 2DS with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed... The far superior pixel density makes games not look like ass, and I might actually push through Bravely Default this summer.
 
I've got a PC, PS4, and WiiU. I use the PS4 the most, followed by the PC and then the WiiU in distant 3rd. Most of my friends don't have a gaming capable PC, so I end up buying the majority of my games on PS4. I use my PC for exclusives. I haven't turned on my WiiU since I finished Xenoblade Chronicles X in January.

Having said that, I think I still spend most of my gaming time on my Vita.
 
My 3DS because it has the most RPGs edit i mean it's not really how most view the definition of "console" but it get way more play than my PS4.
 
I have PS4, Wii U and hi-end PC with Steam Controller.
I play PS4 99% of the time because it is simpler. You click one button, and you there. You click another one button, and you are in the voice chat with friends. Dead simple, high quality.
Steam Big Picture still not quite there yet in my cases.
 
PS4 > XBO

I play the PS4 more because it is where I bought all the Souls games, I wanted to be consistent with the collectors editions all being on one platform.

But if I get the choice otherwise I play all multiplats on XBO and I'll probably pick up DS3 and Scholar digital for XBO when they go on sale so I can play them on the fly.
 
I own everything from this and last gen, bar a PS4. X1 definitely gets the most usage, as my friends are there, like the exclusives more and enough of the games I own are BC, so I don't have to use my 360 at all now. Wii U gets the 2nd most usage.
 
I won't count PC as virtually everyone combines console gaming with PC, even non PC enthusiasts.


Platforms actively being used: PS4, Vita, 3DS

Most used: 3DS
Least used: Vita

3DS tends to be the most used since I commute and it's much easier to suspend. PS4 only gets used on weekends, and Vita... Kinda dried up for me. Unless I am in the mood for Persona 4, it just gathers dust.
 
Vita, PS3, PS4, 3DS, 360 are my currently active systems.

PS4 and 360 are relatively new entries, the first one is mainly a Rocket League machine and the second one is just to play some exclusives I've missed.
I've barely used my handhelds since this year start(despite the massive backlog especially on Vita)

Before, the split was Vita > PS3 > 3DS, currently it's something like PS3 > PS4 > 360 > Vita > 3DS
 
PS4 for exclusives. It's currently my least played platform.

PC for multiplats. I use it moderately.

Wii U for everything else. Mario Kart, Monster Hunter, Splatoon, jump n' runs, and most and foremost: Smash.
It's the platform I spend the majority of my time with.
 
WiiU, PS4 and crappy PC.

Pretty much in that order. I play WiiU the most because it has Mario Maker and Splatoon, plus a load of VC games.

I play my PS4 when there's a sizeable release that doesn't come to WiiU, or an indie game that comes to both PS4 and PC.

PC I play PC exclusives like 4X games and the occasional odd indie game that doesn't come to consoles.
 
Not counting PC: PS4.

To be honest, I won the XB1 after I already had the PS4, so I was already PS+ subscribed (my XBL Gold lapsed late in the 360's lifespan). There's just not much reason to even consider using the XB1 for most things when I have full network usage on one device and not the other. I've used it a bit for Tomb Raider and KI (before they were otherwise available), but otherwise it's mostly mothballed.

The Wii-U is, uh, there. I played Bayonetta 2 on it. The reason it's not my primary device is because I'm not always playing Bayonetta 2.
 
I've got a ps2 (still playing), ps3, ps4, a Vita, a 3DS and a Wii U.
I guess the one I play the most is still the ps3, because there are more games. It should be different in a few months with Persona or FFXV being released.
 
PS4, Wii U, PC here

I play pretty much everything multiplatform, unless it's completely broken, on PC. I use my consoles for 1st and 3rd party exclusives and pretty much nothing else.
 
I play every multiplatform on PC. Consoles are just for exclusives, but I end up playing a lot more on my PS4 than Xbox One, simply cause I think the PS4 has far better exclusives. I have a Wii U that I've probably played for 25 hours total in almost four years.
 
I own them all. I play my Wii U a ton, mostly for Smash. PS4 is second because of the Japanese support. I got the Xbox One for Christmas but haven't played it much. I have some good games for it, but I just can't find the motivation.

My 3DS is also played 100x+ more than my Vita.
 
used my x360, PS4, Wii, Vita and 2DS in the last months at least once.
For some reason I spend most money on PS4 / 2DS games but play around 75% of the time on my PC because of friends and pc "exclusives"
 
Vita, PS4, 3DS, and Wii U here. I think I've turned on my PS4 about 4-5 times tops this year. Bar Dark Souls and Uncharted which I both ordered in the past day, nothing has caught my attention. 3DS kept me occupied with SMTIV Final through March, but I've had no urge to touch the system ever since. Regarding Wii U I only bothered buying the system for Taiko no Tatsujin games, which I've more or less exhausted at this point. I turn the thing on maybe once a month for a few hours at most. I have a fairly capable PC but it's essentially a VN machine for me at this point. Most of what interests me is console exclusive.

Vita occupies the bulk of my gameplay time. Past few months I put quite a bit of time into Dragon Quest Builders, Sora no Kiseki Evo, Taiko V, Project Diva, in addition to various VNs. The portability is a great asset for me.
 
My PS4 gets used daily. I might turn my PS3 on once or twice a week to work on the ancient backlog. I turned my WiiU on for the first time in months yesterday, just to download some games I got in a Humble Bundle. I probably won't turn it on again for a while.
 
I currently have a PS4, WII U , and 3DS.

I probably play the PS4/WII U about the same. I'm actually surprised how much i have played on the WII U. I don't see my 3DS that much though.

And Why? Games. That is all. I grown way past caring what machines is better ( i didn't anyway), if a machine as several games i want to play on it i will end up getting it at some point. Well that is a lie, there were 10 or so games on the vita i wanted to play but never got round to getting that, i do have several titles that have been ported to the PS4 though.
 
PS4, PS3, WiiU, 3DS, Vita currently in rotation. Play the PS4 most by a country mile, there is simply more I want to play on it, and I mostly play when I am home on the couch so the handhelds don't see much face time these days.
 
Own everything except Wii U. I still play my 360s the most tho I've begun playing more on Xbone. PS3 gets turned on once a week or so to try to whittle down my backlog. I only rarely play my PS4s and for the most part they collect dust. That may change in the future, but best case the PS4 is an SP exclusive box for me at this point. I greatly prefer the Xbone Elite controller (or even the standard). Although the DS4 is a huge improvement over the DS3 it gives me hand cramps if I game longer than an hour. I also greatly prefer XBL vs PSN. I let PS+ lapse a few months ago and don't miss it.
 
Traditionally it's the PlayStation, I will admit that there's a bit of the ol' brand loyalty going on with me but I didn't own an Xbox original back in the day because I had already bought my PS2 and the extra power plus Halo wasn't enough to make me fork out the price of another console.

Since them I have stuck with PlayStation. I only really play on my Wii U when the missus wants to play Mario Kart with me and I kind of go in and out of PC gaming, the most recent bout being for the last 2 years when I bought a new rig to combat any desire to buy an Xbox One (so I could still play Titanfall and eventually all the Windows 10 ports that we're getting this year).

The PS4 does it for me, I find that for this generation, more than any before, you only really need one of the main "high performance" consoles. I just picked the one I was collecting trophies already for.
 
PC played the most. Behind that the Wii U. PS4 is rarely on, obly lately for Gindam, Xbone gets a little play.

Wii U is just pure fun. Just getting the girls together on smash or mk8. Fun with the kid playing Splatoo or Mario. 100s of hours in Xenosaga

3ds gets more than anything else
 
PS4 is my main console. More games compared to my Wii U and Xbox One and it's where most of my friends are. 3DS is a very close second. God-tier system.
 
Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U here.

Primarily, I play Xbox One. In fact, the others rarely get turned on and were probably a waste of money. Why? Probably because I have access to everything from it. Games, Netflix, Prime, HBO Now, TV, and Blu Ray. Plus, it's what all my friends use and it has all my achievements from last generation. Fairly easy choice for me.

EDIT: Also, the pro controller is excellent. No going back to anything else for me. The paddles on the back are amazing.
 
I got 360, xbox one, ps3 and ps4. And I usually just play on my PC. My roommate also has a Wii and Wii U (hooked to my TV) but those are mostly used for party games.
 
Ive got Pc, Ps4 and Wii U.

Generally its the PS4 that I use most however since my Vive arrived I'm struggling to maintain interest in anything other than VR.

Looking forward to PSVR. VR is just a great way to game.
 
I have a PS3 and Wii U and split time pretty evenly between them. Just depends on what I'm playing at the time. Soon I'll be jumping into Xenoblade Chronicles X and getting Tokyo Mirage Sessions so the Wii U will win the day. Then Persona 5 will hit and the PS3 will be back on top. That's how it goes.

I also put a fair bit of time into my 3DS (still playing Fire Emblem Fates) but I don't know if that counts as a console.
