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

Xbox 1 by far.

Exclusives are appealing + prefer controller over others for multiplats and Live is perfect in Canada so MP is a no brainer for me.

The X1 apps are Canadian specific (eg our version of HBO)

That said, last month with ratchet and UC4 the Ps4 was getting a workout.
 
PS4

played the wii for a few months after i got it a few years ago (i have 4 unplayed games on it)
played the xbone for a few days after christmas this year and havn't touched it since (again, about 4 or 5 unplayed games on it)

i always seem to do this. and i never learn. i think i'm just sticking to one console next "gen"
 
PS4, because of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. I also want to get into Street Fighter V.

Wii U is second but should be the most played, best library in the generation.

I rarely use my Xbox One. I have two games so far (Sunset Overdrive, DMC4SE) but I have to admit the Elite Controller is the best. Looking forward to play Scalebound and Recore.

3 "bad" consoles for a price of a "good" PC, at least I can play the exclusive titles.
 
Currently own: Xbox One, PS4 and PC (if we're counting that)

I buy most games for the Xbox One for a few main reasons;

1. Elite Controller is top tier
2. 5 TB external drive connected, so waaaay more space than my 2 TB PS4.
3. Better library management.....actually it's not even close in that regard. PS4 has no library management.

My PS4 is used strictly for exclusives. However, I have been playing it a lot this week because of Uncharted.
 
Ps4 and wii U owner. Wii U gets played probably ten to one.

Between me and my son, Splatoon, Mario maker, still playing mk8, still playing what he calls "Mario cat", etc. Many great games on that thing.

Ps4 is mostly for indie games I can't get on Wii U, or the occasional big budget title.
 
I've got them all and it really depends.

If I'm on a racing game binge, I play XONE exclusively for weeks (I prefer the controller for racing games).

For FPS shooters, I go with PS4 and PC, this is where I'm at right now.

I play the Wii U the least, but it feels special when I do, somehow.
 
Ps4 if a PC port is looking shoddy and it gets turned on regularly for ffxiv & bloodborne.
XB1 has only actually been used for sunset overdrive and some DS3 english version before it got released, i really hate this system.
Wii U gets used to play bayo 2 pretty frequently.
 
Well PC is my primary platform, so I end up playing each console only when they have an exclusive out that I really want.

2014 and 2015 would be the WiiU for Smash Bros alone.

2016 though has given the PS4 more time, as I've played Alienation in co-op with friends, Gravity Rush Remastered because I never bought a Vita, and now Uncharted 4.

Xbox One has my favored controller out of the 3, but so many of its games have gone on PC, that I've really only played Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 on it so far.
 
3DS gets the most play; I like the games the best. It's about 85-90% of my game time 15-20hrs a week.

Wii U and PC are about equal; it depends on what mood I'm in. I have a 360 that I only turn on to get games with Gold, but never play.
 
PS4 because the games usually look and run better, it's where my friends are, and I put a 4TB internal HD in it so it holds all of my games. I also have 4 controllers for it and play a ton of couch co op with my wife and kids.

Xbone is for exclusives and anything on sale that I cannot get on ps4. I have 2 controllers for this.

WiiU is for excusives only. I have 4 controllers for this, but 2 of them are wiimote plus and it sucks using them in 4 player games. I cannot justify getting 2 more proper controllers because the system is on its last legs and was abandoned long ago.
 
I have a PS4, Wii U, Xbox One and both portables.

PS4 gets the most play by far as that's where I play all multiplats as they run best there and it's what my friends play online on.
 
I have just about every console ever made and I easily spend most of my time on my ps2. Between ps1/2 games I don't imagine this will change in the near future.
 
3DS, and I don't think it has been very close. I don't even bring it places very often, I just prefer the excellent library and the form factor. More comfortable for me to lounge with a 3DS than play something on my TV, though that is probably specific to my situation.

My Wii U gets occasional play, but I don't care for platformers so I miss out on plenty of the library.

My PS4 sees solid play, probably comes close to the 3DS on some years.

My Vita is a sad boy.

I play some games on PC as well, but that isn't a console.
 
Wii U takes the top spot since I play it alot with my nephew.

3DS for all those JRPG goodness.

Vita for weekly intake of rhythm games

Surprisingly my PS4 is gathering dust.
 
Xbox One because of the ecosystem where my friends are, and it has the more comfortable controller for me. Have owned every Xbox and built up a good amount of buddies online and real life that play.

I play exclusives on my PS4 and love it, don't get me wrong, but I don't have as many friends there and haven't tried much multiplayer.
 
XB1 - Games I prefer, Controller, I actually prefer the interface MUCH more as well.


My Ps4 will get play when P5 finally drops... Or maybe SO5 before it, not sure yet. I would LOVE to play my PC more but my son keeps taking it over whenever I turn it on/wake it. I actually miss modded Skyrim right now. Vita plays FFT almost every night.
 
It really depends on what's out at the time. I also don't often keep an active PSN account, so most multiplayer games I tend to buy for XB1 (unless they are Sony exclusive, in which case I buy a 3 month PSN card to play some multiplayer a bit).

Right now, ps4 because that's what I bought Dark Souls 3 on. Before it was XB1 because that's what I have Destiny on. Wii U gets less use overall, but is still a consistent use due to Smash Bros.
 
Xbox One. I like their controller the best. I also prefer downloading my games to a external hard drive and using that across different Xbox one consoles at home and at my office. I mostly play PS4 for Sony exclusives and Plus titles and the Wii U for Nintendo exclusives.
 
I'm kind of all over the place at any given moment. I built a new PC late last year so I primarily game on that. Still go back to consoles for the exclusives. My PS4 hasn't had much use this year, but I'm currently playing Uncharted 4 there. My friends all play on Xbox so that's where I go for multiplayer games (Rocket League and Rainbow 6 currently). I'm also still making my way through Star Fox Zero on the WiiU. Also still fire that up for some Splatoon matches every now and then.
 
PS4 = PC, then WiiU, then the Xbone which I got about a month after it came out and is still in the box in my closet, worst way I've ever accepted payment for a job.


I buy most of my big budget games on PS4 cause for those I usually just like to chill on the couch (without the hassle of moving my computer that is), and exclusives obviously. PC I get a lot of alternative multiplayer games (idk how else you'd describe them) like H1Z1 and depth, lots of older games, and now Overwatch cause I got TF2 on console when it first came out and I'm not going through that song and dance again. And WiiU I only buy maybe a game or two a year for.
 
I just have a PS4 and a XB1. I spend more time on PS4 because the group of friends that I play most online games with are on PS4. Also I have bought almost all multiplatform games for PS4 because they tend to be the superior version. I love my XB1 though and am tempted to start buying more games for it simply because the controller is more comfortable and I actually really like the UI. I do have some friends that play on Xbox and I love how easy it is to see what they're up to and compare our progress in games.
 
Xbox one at the moment. I've more games for it and I play multiplayer a with friends on it.

Do rock on the PS4 a good bit tho.

Poor Wii U tho. Left neglected upstairs.

PC also stuck upstairs. Need to get a proper set up for it then I'll roll back to it
 
ps4 if the PC doesnt count, otherwise pc
xbone had nothing for me, not even sure why I bought it :(

wii u still has the best exclusive library though, easily.
if you don't have a PC then either PS4 or XBone are great choices but ps4 wins out with stuff like bloodborne and UC4 methinks. I feel like owning both a ps4 and xbone is completely pointless, considering how few exclusives both have
 
PS4: because Rainbow Six Siege is my favorite game this gen. It reinvigorated my interest in shooters and gaming in general again.

Wii U gets a lot of play time from me because I love a lot of the first party output and exclusives. Other than Siege I play quite a bit of Wii U.
 
I own all 3 current gen consoles. I play Xbox One the most. I prefer PS4, and own the most games for that console, but Xbox One has EA Access and I have pretty much turned into a filthy casual so that's where 99% of my playtime goes.
 
In terms on consoles only, my Xbox One by a large mile. My PS4 hardly ever gets any use. If it wasn't for the Funimation I'd probably almost never turn it on. That said most of my gaming is on PC.
 
PS4. It has the exclusives, it's where my friends are, and right now, I use it for multiplats since it's more powerful than my PC right now (that will change in a few months though).

Wii U is great, but it is a supplementary system meant for Nintendo games and that's about it.
 
Picked up a second hand xbox one at the weekend with a copy of Forsa 6.
(Was going to wait for Scorpio, but got a very good deal on this.)

I hate to say this, but I think it's a better machine than the PS4 (which I also own).
It is very quiet and Forsa 6 is awesome imo.

Gears 4 etc are on the horizon, so I can see myself using the one a lot from now on.
