Primary for gaming is PS5, cause I love trophies and the interface
Secondary PC: Mostly used for strategy, some shooters, and other games more comfy on a PC (like BG3) - also play the occasional gamepass game when i feel like getting a month of gamepass like i did for starfield.

Haven't touched my switch in over a year, nothing to play, and waiting for the new one.

Steam also has achievements.

PC is my primary now. Second is the PS5. As much as I enjoy PC, Sony exclusives slap and some games just work better on console. Oh, and trophy hunting gives me boners.
 
I rotate between PC and Xbox Series S to a degree where there is no primary or secondary. If I had to choose, I would probably give it to PC because I can install mods and emulate older games on it.

I only use Playstation.
I do not play that much and nearly exclusively single player, and Playstation fullfilled my needs and wants so far.
No reason to buy more devices, I dont really see a reason or benefit for that. 🤷‍♂️
 
Primary: PlayStation
Secondary: PC

I used to have everything but I sold my Xbox (not really any reason to own it alongside my PC anymore) and my Switch (just never play it and as much as I want to like TOTK I don't want to keep the system to force myself through it). I use the PC for Xbox exclusives and for FPS that I prefer KBM and I use my PS5 for everything else including COD because I prefer controller and it has gyro. I find PC just cumbersome enough that I prefer the simplicity of console. I've owned and built over 10 PCs and played PC on and off since I was a tiny kid in the 90s, but I was always a PlayStation kid and will always own a PlayStation.

I also still own every PlayStation console besides the PSP (PS1, PS2, PS3 Phat and Slim, PS Vita 1000 and 2000, PS Pocket, PS4 Pro 500M).

Primary : PS5
Secondary : Switch

I feel I am missing out on nothing. The only thing I wanted to play on xbox was ORI and that came to switch so I was happy.

1. PC
2. Phone

Sorry consoles but I spend more time fucking around with mobile games than the occasional exclusive that I kinda care about.

Primary: PC
Secondary: switch

Most of the games i want to play are on pc, the switch is the only console that consistently hits the mark for me regarding exclusives (though ps5 is a close second as far as consoles go.)

No need for an xbox however as my pc can play every xbox one/series game i want nowadays, but MS treats xbox more as a platform now so i guess theyre still getting what they want out of me

Unless they come out with another Halo edition Xbox in the future, I can't see myself picking up an Xbox again. My gaming PC will pretty much always be my primary platform, and that makes owning an Xbox almost pointless.

Up until now, I would say PC and Playstation. But I have lost interest in consoles now that I have less time to play and most games eventually come out on PC. So I may as well stick with PC and may drop consoles altogether. In my opinion, exclusives for the latest console generation is shit. Sony and Microsoft are too woke now and I lost interest in Nintendo like 20 years ago. Thanksfully jRPGs are coming out on PC now.

Mostly Switch, with a little bit of PC on the side.

Honestly, I know that, objectively speaking, PC is by far the best gaming platform these days, and I actually have a pretty decent gaming PC and a backlog of hundreds of games spanning almost 3 decades. And I know I should spend more time with it. But after a workday, and with me already spending quite some time on the PC for editing pictures, I'm mostly just too tired or too lazy to play games on there. And yeah, I do have a bunch of Xbox controllers, and I have a cable hooked up to the TV, and it should be very comfortable, but often times it's just too much hassle. Lots of A and AA games don't play too well with dual monitor setups and dragging windows between screens, some games still require a keyboard upon boot... there's just always something holding it back for me.

And that's where Switch comes in. It's just the perfect fit for me. I can play it anytime, anywhere without hassle. It's in that perfect comfy zone for me, not sure how to explain it, but yeah, I love it to bits.
