So what's your most played platform this year and why?

iOS by far since I can play it at work without drawing any attention. Would play some PS3 if SFxT didn't suck so badly. Single-player console stuff is clogging up my backlog, though, so things could change.
 
It's always PC for me if you include WoW, but if I exclude that... I think it's still PC, which isn't normal for me. I've been on a big RPG kick this year; played through Elder Scrolls: Arena, The Witcher and Legend of Grimrock (About 3/4 of the way through? Just got the
Prison Key
) thus far, and those would have taken up a lot of time. On top of that, inspired by the Pinkerton Road kickstarter, I bought and played Grey Matter.

Possible competition from the 360 - played through Brotherhood this year, and *maybe* AC2 as well; can't recall if that was last year or not. Also the Wii's had a showing in the form of Epic Mickey, and the 3DS in a stop-starty playthrough of Tales of the Abyss.

I'm sitting here now with a nagging feeling that I've missed a big 360 title. I wonder if Saints Row 2 was this year or the last?


Edit: Oh hell, Skylanders. I'm sitting next to a few of the figueres as I speak, despite being too dense to realise it.
 
3DS. There's been a lot of great games/content on it now, and my backlog is already at least 10 games deep.
 
3DS thanks to Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Kid Icarus, Project Mirai, Code of Princess and Tales of the Abyss.

Vita and PC aren't far behind, though thanks to a slew of good launch titles for one and Kingdoms of Amalur on the other.
 
PS3- Metal Gear Online, Atelier Rorona, and other countless niche rpg games I need to finish. I was never into niche rpg games but this generation, I'm really loving Gust games.
PS2- I still have a backlog of rpg games to finish. Ar Tonelico has been getting most of my time ATM.
Vita/3DS- Ninja Gaiden Sigma, resident evil.

With Persona 4 coming out next month, the vita will probably be my most played system since MGO will be closed down. I still have the atelier games to play though.
 
Kinda interesting, reading through here I see a rather remarkable bounce for Wii. It's basically just exclusives at this point, but there's lots of goodness to go around. I've been playing it pretty much full time for 2-3 years, because of:

GCN- I've been rocking through a sorely overlooked catalog. Sad, but now I'm feeling like the cube might have been my favorite console if I had given it a chance
DKCR
Galaxy 1/2
Mario Party 9 (I' know, I know... but it's great!)
VC - pretty challenging to dig out, dust off and boot up the old NES or SNES when the Wii's sitting right there...

And I still haven't gotten to SS or Xenoblade, and I plan on picking up Epic Mickey 2 at some point. That's 100+ hours I'll have to keep going on top of my current backlog.


But definitely up there in total hours is my PSPGo. Love that thing.
 
3DS, RE:R followed by a good set of 3DSware titles and Kid Icarus, damn. Kid Icarus is dope.

Nothing else comes close atm, I don't have the time to dedicate to Diablo III, just hit level 15.
 
360, it's where I play all of my fighting games. I usually only play my PS3 when exclusives come out and my Wii is just collecting dust :| If I had a gaming PC it would probably be first...
 
PSP and Wii are taking up the majority of my time, as I slowly make my way through Trails in the Sky and Xenoblade.

PS3 got some love in the beginning of the year with FFXIII-2, Journey, and most recently Flower (my first time playing), and will get some love later when I start Graces F.
 
So far this year I've played more PC games than anything else. Fallout, Deus Ex and Katawa Shoujo have probably been my most played.

Wii has been confined to Mario Galaxy and the occasional Wii Sports Resort session when other people want to play. Wii Sports Resort table tennis is brilliant.

Wii will probably overtake PC soon, as I'm planning on getting Xenoblade when I get paid.
 
PC/iOS equally. I've played a lot of adventure games on both of them, many great indie games, Snoopy's Street Fair on iOS and Diablo 3 have taken up a lot of time as well.

Vita and Xbox 360 would be next. I mostly played the Vita during the first couple of weeks it was out but I've still went back for some Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. For the 360, I got caught up on games I've missed since my last system went bad. I also got a Kinect which has been fun.

PS3 and the 3DS have the least amount of time played. For the PS3, all I've played is Journey and finally getting to Uncharted 3. On the 3DS all I've played is Mutant Mudds.
 
360... first now-gen console, tend to buy the vast majority of MP games for it, and I like the exclusives better, controller better, online interface better, etc...
 
Xbox 360 because it's the only console i have, i prefer playing on it, and my laptop cannot run anything newer than games published 5 years ago and even older game can cause it to overheat. Doesn't leave me much choice.
 
I bought a new PC so that. PS3 in a close second, although in a few more months the gap will be much larger. I still have like 5 games to play on PS3 but I'm addicted to the PC right now.
 
VITA

I daily go to work by train so I play Vita 2h daily at minimum.

Few of Vita games like Rayman, Wipeout, Uncharted and a lot of psp catalog.
 
Not sure if Dolphin counts as Wii or PC. Can't stop playing Xenoblade. Played nearly 150 hours of the PAL version on my Wii, and I've nearly put another 100 in the NA version with Dolphin. And I still have quite a bit I want to try to do with it.

Even aside from that probably PC, I'm not sure if I've played anything on consoles all year.
 
PS3 by far so many great games to catch up and so little time although with Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3 and Dark Souls for PC that will shift a lot of my focus to pc
 
Hard to say. I play 3 platforms right now, Wii, PC, 3DS and I think I'm about even on all of them, or at least close enough that I can't determine which I played most. The only games less than a year old I've been playing though are probably Zelda SS, Xenoblade, MK7, SML3D, and RE:R. I've been really hitting up VC and older PC games lately.
 
360. I didn't used to have much of a preference between the PS3 and the 360, and if anything I leaned towards the PS3 whenever possible just because... I dunno, I guess because the Playstation brand has existed longer and therefore I'm more comfortable with it by default. *shrug*

The only problem for me is that I have a Bravia, and its shitty built in upscaling fumbles the ball whenever it receives anything less than a 1080p signal. It's not an issue with the 360, because it automatically upscales everything to 1080p, period, and it looks fine. But there are a ton of PS3 games that can't even be forced to 1080p, I have no choice but to run them at 720p, and they look lousy on my TV. When it comes to cross-platform relelases, I used to get the PS3 version first, hoping and praying that it would upscale to 1080p. If it wouldn't, I'd return it and get the 360 version instead. Eventually that happened so many times I finally said screw it, I'll just get the 360 version first. I'd rather deal with the getting up from the couch to swap discs once in a while than have to grit my teeth and bear inferior upscaling from start to finish.

I hope Sony can appreciate the irony of their own console displaying poorly on their own TV, compared to their rival's console... and make sure they don't pull this shit with PS4.

Speaking of 360 disc swapping-- why not do it the PC way, i.e. install all discs, then use disc 1 as the key? I assume MS is not so brain dead that they didn't think of this, what could possibly be the reason that's stopping them?
 
360

Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2-3/Black Ops
Halo 3/Reach
Saints Row the Third
Resident Evil 5
Street Fighter 4
Tales of Vesperia

I'm slowly becoming dudebro...
 
Almost a tie between 360 and PS3.

Been going back and getting achievements and trophies in my backlog. Barely bought any games this year for anything.
 
PC.

Almost exclusively. Been playing Starcraft 2, Dota 2, Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Portal 2, Batman Arkham City, Deus Ex: HR, Saint's Row: The Third and soon... Diablo 3.

I play on my PS3 here and there. Played Demon's Souls and Catherine.
 
Wii — I play Brawl five or six times a week with my roommate and some friends.

3DS is in a distant second with Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and Pokemon Pearl.
 
Gotta be PC. I've put a little time into my PS3, and the one game I've played on Wii(Xenoblade) I've sunk a lot of hours into. It all comes down to two things: 1) Steam 2) Indie gaming. Cheap, easy, fun, huge variety, literally dozens of games come out a month(I don't want to play most of them, but that's the point - I don't need to).
 
PC - Mass Effect 3, Saint's Row da Third, Diablo 3... anything with "3" in the title, really. Even got through BAC, Need for Speed The Run and a couple others.

Vita is #2. Between Virtua Tennis 4, The Show, Rayman and Mortal Kombat it's been fantastic.

PS3 has gathered dust, 360 is now just an HBO Go device and the Wii, well I think it still works.
 
Mainly PC, followed by 3DS

PS3 and Wii get some minor play, mainly for local multiplayer (fighters, party-ish games, multiplayer platformers)

360 is 'collecting dust' as the disc drive now sticks (piece of crap machine) and suddenly it has decided to stop accepting the network bridge so I can't connect to Live to get XBLA games. I think my Mega Drive has seen more play than the 360 this year.
 
1. PS3 - I've been playing catch-up with lengthy games I didn't have time to play in the past (namely, Final Fantasy XIII) and I've picked up a handful of new releases & PSN titles. I'm currently working on Shadows of the Damned.

2. 3DS - RE: Revelations, Kid Icarus, Spirit Camera, eShop games, and all the games from last year I didn't finish = lots of time in the 3rd dimension, haha!

3. Wii - Like PS3, I've been finishing up games I didn't wrap up over the last few years: Kirby, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Fatal Frame 4 (JP version), and a few others. I'm going to start Xenoblade soon!

4. SEGA Saturn - I finally got an S-Video cable and replacement battery (for saves) so I've been playing through a few lengthy games, like Panzer Dragoon Saga.

5. PSP - Finally got around to trying the Ys series and I love it! I finished up Ys 6 recently and I'm going to start Ys 7 soon.

I haven't really touched my new 360 since January-ish when I plowed through Halo 3. I have a few of games I really want to play (Alan Wake, EDF 2016, Fez, etc.) but I always seem to end up playing games on other systems. *shrug*
 
Definitely the 360 hands down because I don't have a PS3, nor do I have a laptop that can run games that have come out within the last several years; especially 3D games (maybe the GTA games from last gen). I typically get XBLA games and add-ons when they're on sale, as well as tons of games on the cheap and a few Indie games every now and then. Plus I have a decent backlog of games to go through.

The Wii is a distant second because of Xenoblade (which was my only reason to turn on my Wii and get component cables for it), the first (Zelda's probably going to be my second) Wii game I've gotten in about a year.

Plus the service isn't good, and Nintendo's never had any specials akin to XBL's Deal of the Week, or Steam's several Indie games in one deal to promote their Wii Ware games. Ohh, and gaming on the Wii is a very solitary experience; even though I barely talk to people on my XBL friends list, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one still playing a game at 5AM. The Friend Code system is non-existent and the Wii Connect 24 thing was a just a fad; the days when I used to yearn for my Wii to glow blue from a message are long gone.
 
PC for the first time in about 3 yrs because I'm back into WoW.

360 next, then Wii, PS3, and iPad in last place but slowly creeping up.

Last year it was 360 by far, PC, PS3, Wii, and ios gaming wasn't even on the radar.
 
PC, because of steam and 1080p at 60fps.

Also throw in Just Cause 2 + mods, Bulletstorm, GTA4 without a framerate in the teens, Skyrim + mods, and a couple dozen more games I was able to get for < $10 and max out.

My full transition from 360 to PC is almost complete. I'd be shocked and surprised if MS convinced me to get the next xbox.
 
PC by a long shot. SWTOR, Mass Effect 2 replay, Mass Effect 3 (with a lot of MP), more SWTOR, and now D3. The only other system I've even touched is PS3 for the occasional GT5 seasonal events and Journey.
 
So far, definitely the Wii. Lots of multiplayer action with my friends, thanks to games like Wii Sports Resort (which are still good after three years), Wii Party, and Mario Party 9 (as well as MP2, MP4, MP5, and MP6 due to backwards compatibility and VC). I also played Kirby's Epic Yarn to 100% completion which added to the usage time.

3DS saw a lot of play thanks to Resident Evil Revelations (over 20 hours) and getting 100% in Super Mario 3D Land.

I put time into Mass Effect and recently Super Meat Boy and Minecraft on the X360 but yeah, overall usage didn't really come close to the other two systems.
 
PS3 but mostly because it is the most reliably region free. I live in Japan and would rather get Xbox 360 versions of many games, but can order PS3 games off Amazon without worrying about whether they will work. I could go to Akihabara and get imports, but it is a bit out of the way for me and I get disturbed by the all the hentai/otaku stuff.
 
PS3 - A lot of exclusives, Twisted Metal, Tales of Graces, Yakuza Dead Souls and now Starhawk

3DS is second, DS is third and PSP Go is fourth. I did not enjoy playing my PSP games on Vita so Vita is on fifth place. 360 and Wii are both on 6th.
