It depends. I still keep my SNES because I love to play the games, but I only have a ps2 because Im too lazy to get rid of it and I probably wouldn't get alot of money anyways. I would still play it if I could find the games that I want and be able to get them at a reasonable price considering how old they are.
I am considering buying an N64 and a dreamcast to play them.
I have various MD,MCD, SS and DC systems from all regions that I brought mostly for collectivity purposes and never really use. Now, looking back, I don't regret having bought them because they're very cool to have, but it's very funny to think I was able to spent that much money on them back then because I certainly can't afford to do that now.
I collect old games because even though out-dated and old, age doesn't sap any of the fun out of old classics, and having a whole row of NES, SNES and Genesis games on a massive bookshelf looks sweet.
I suppose I keep some for little reason, such as the old gameboys and such. But I always try to play the games on the system it was meant to be played, so I switch around like that. And I suppose I rarely play the Game Gear, because it's so awful :lol:
I bought an original Game Boy off ebay just to make sure I'd have one, even though the screen is so small it's not much fun to actually play. I doubt I'll ever play it much but that's a one off as it doesn't take up much space and I still really like the design of the original chunky version.
Everything else I keep specifically to play, especially in the case of the Mega Drive as the games for that console aren't as fun using the different controllers on the Wii or on the Mega Drive compilations on the Sony consoles (although they're useful for rare games that I couldn't justify spending too much money on).
I enjoy playing my games occaisonally, but it's mostly just to have this stuff because I'm somewhat of a collector. But, yeah I still play alot of my games.

I still have my Original Gameboy and Gameboy Color. I know I'll never use them again since I have the oh-so sweet GBA-SP. The screen is larger, is backlit, and the thing is rechargable with superior sound! But I can't get rid of the older models, lol. I've tried to sell them for $10 a piece and had no takers. They work same as when they were new, too. Not a thing wrong with them.
I don't collect game consoles or games, I will only buy a console like my recently aquired NES because I plan to play them. I feel like I wasted my money if I don't play them.
I buy consoles usually because I want to play their games. In fact, I have some extra consoles I should probably sell off (an extra NES that needs cartridge slot repair, an extra SNES, an extra Saturn, and an extra Xbox, but I think I might want to keep the Xbox). However, there's the really odd case of my Neo-Geo CD, which I STILL don't have any games for. Cost me a pretty penny, too...hope I can recoup it if I decide to turn around and sell it!

I have virtually every game, console, and accessory from my 20+ years of playing games. If my aunt didn't give away a few of my games when she and my uncle sold their house, I'd still have them all lol. I'm a natural collector, and it's hard for me to let things go once I started a collection lol.
