Your least-played gaming system you own?

For me, 3DS. I don't know why, I just can't get into playing any games on it at the moment, which is weird because I loved the DS.
 
I got an Atari 2600 from a friend several years back, with some "quality" games like Spiderman and Pac-Man.
I never even plugged it in to see if it still works.
I still have it though.

I also have several Pong clone consoles I only played once or twice.
And two MegaDrives/Genesis's which I never played.

The least played gaming system I played more than two hours is probably my GameBoy Advance. I only noticed after the DS came out how awesome the GBA's library was. Aside from the aforementioned systems it's only the system I have the least games for (>10 whereas I own at least 15 or 20 games for any other system I have).
 
My PS4.
Sure this system will get much more love in the future, but at the moment i only play ps3 and vita. This will change when Destiny comes out.
 
Wii U, easily. If we're talking very recently (like within the last year) then I suppose the Wii and PS2 are worse, but I still have plenty of backlogged games for those two systems and I've played hefty games on both already (mainly half of Xenoblade for Wii, but a whole bunch of Final Fantasy games and Persona 4 of PS2). Meanwhile, the only game I've bothered to finish on Wii U is Lego City Undercover, and that was in 2014. Which means I barely touched the thing from launch until this year.

Oh, wait, forgot about the 360. I did play GTA V on it last year, but that and Child of Eden were the only two games I played on it in the past year and a half at least.
 
Xbox 360. I got it last year and even made a LTTP thread to ask about what games to try. But I have so many other games on other consoles that I never even took the thing out of the box.
 
PS3 (Almost finished God of War 3 at some point, played very little of FFXIII)
Xbox 360 (Haven't bought any new games for it in a good long while)
Wii U (Gets some love when a new game I want to play comes out, but still too little)

All gaming the past weeks has been on PC
 
3DS, PSP and Wii U all haven't had much playtime at all. But thats because there aren't as many games I enjoy on those systems.
 
Vita TV, since I only play P4G on it. My sister is on her 4th play through of that game and shows no signs of stopping, so it's getting plenty of use from her :U

Other than that, all the previous gen consoles.

Gaming primarily on the Vita and PC right now. Hell of a combo :D
 
Vita by a long mile. I bought it 6-7 months ago, I have around 10 games (retail, indie, PS1 etc) and I haven't used it for more than 10 hours or so. I spent 5 hours to finish Tearaway, then the rest was just trying the rest of the games only to find out that I am not in the mood for something like this at the moment.
 
PlayStation 4. I only use it for Netflix as not a single game for it entices me at the moment, it's rarely used, maybe like once a week tops, if that.

June 17 will change that though.
 
PS4 or Xbox 360, easily. I play my Wii U and PS3 the most, followed by my 3DS and Vita. 360 I gave up on a long time ago, so it almost doesn't count for me, but PS4... there's just nothing to play on it right now, and it seems there won't be for quite awhile.
 
My ps3.I got it mostly for bluray and gt4.Other than that I used my xbox360 for games.Even that has been ignored for almost a year now that I built a gaming pc because of how much cheaper the games are and the better anti aliasing.
 
I'd say it's a tie between my PSP and Wii.
I've only recently used my Wii to play around a bit with Project M, and my PSP just sits in a drawer, half because I'm getting more mileage out of my 3DS, and half because the battery is pretty weak now.
 
Turbo-Grafx 16. The HUcards I got with it don't play nice and I haven't bothered to get anything else. Now it's in a drawer. =\
 
Gamecube. Barely touched it. (had an Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast and was losing interest in Nintendo)
PSP, basically just played Wipeout and emulators.
Would probably be Wii but I didn't buy one.
 
Xbox (2001) - my least played system ever. It was literally my Halo and KOTOR playing machine. I don't know why I still have it, lol
 
Wii and DS. They were technically my sister's though, so perhaps they shouldn't count. All I ever played a decent amount on them were Mario Galaxy and NSMB. I recently got a 3DS XL though and will be bringing GameBoy hours to this beauty.

Counting my own consoles then I think my PSP takes the crown.
 
My 3DS solely out of the fact that it's the system I most recently bought ~2 months ago.

DS and PSP following right behind on that leaderboard. Unfortunately, I just didn't find the 7th gen handhelds particularly compelling due to how limited they were by their hardware. I'm trying to play through the DS and PSP gems on my 3DS and Vita, but retail availability mixed with the issue with the PSP that digital releases were not mandatory (Curse you Squeenix!!!) has made things difficult. I mean, I played those two platforms enough that I've more time on them than I've had with my 3DS thus far, but as far as my memory serves those two things took a very far backseat once the 360 megaton landed.
 
Probably my launch Wii U. Usually buy major releases, play till the battery runs to death (an hour or two), then get incredibly annoyed at the controller and stop playing with the console. Repeat every 3-4 months a major Nintendo game for it comes out.

I want to like the console but ffs if the main input for it turns me off this much I'm never going to use the damn thing.
 
My DS by far.

I just never travel anywhere without driving. I seem to have gone out of my way to buy genres I don't really care for. Damn you SRPGs! You always seem so fascinating at first.
 
PS3 > PS4 > Wii U > Xbox One.

The Xbox One really does feel like a platform drying up especially when I don't play shooting games.

After infamous and before it all I played was battlefield 4 on the ps4.

The Xbox has forza 5, ryse and dead rising 3. I don't get how it's a shooter only platform :/

For me and these reasons listed my ps4 is gathering dust, due to bf4 being a broken pos
 
3DS.

Haven't touched it since finishing Pokemon Y in January.

I have some digital stuff on it I may get to/back to--Star Fox 64 3D, need to finish up Zelda Oracle of Seasons, have the other Oracle game, Link's Awakening and the original Zelda untouched. I didn't' finish the 150cc races in MK7 either.

Otherwise, I've played all the released retail games that interested me, and I'm not interested in anything announced. So I may sell it off if there aren't some games I really want announced at E3 (like a new 2D Metroid!). I just don't play on portables that much, and would rather game on the Vita I got a couple months back when I do.

I had a Wii U also gathering dust, but sold that off a couple weeks ago. I grew up a Nintendo fanboy from the NES on pretty much, but they just haven't done much for me the past couple of generations as my genre interests have changed a lot.
 
My PSP was by far my least played system. For some reason I picked up a Vita and almost had the same problem with it, but PS+ has saved it for me.
 
The Wii. I only ever played like 7 games on it. There just wasn't that much that I was really interestes in. I got at least 100 hours of playtime on it, between both Zeldas and Metroids, and Smash Bros. Most disappointing Nintendo console I have ever owned.

In second place is my 3DS. It is my second least played console and my least played handheld. There just isn't that many games that interest me available for it. The releases this year aren't really that great- only two games I want to play, last years releases were way overblown and overrated IMO, and I'd rather play my Vita. From the 3DS's hardware to its OS, it just turns me off. The 3DS just has a lot of games that are 8's, but there aren't really many 9's or 10's. A lot of 3DS entries in franchises are just good, but not amazing or anything. I dunno... I've just found myself disappointed with it. It's better than the DS, but there's less to play.
 
PS3 > PS4 > Wii U > Xbox One.

Fine if you prefer other systems but your reason is not very solid. Doesn't PS4 have more shooters?

For me it would be PS Vita. Bought it at launch and barely use it.
 
Of all the systems I've ever owned... 32X. More current would be the Wii, then the original PSP, then nothing really comes close after.
 
Wii. At one point I went months without even thinking about playing it. 3DS is a close second and I don't know why. I have tons of great games for it and yet I hardly feel like playing it anymore.
