What is your console preference (e.g. PlayStation, Xbox, PC) and which company it provides?

I just wanted to know how many of you prefer what console. I know that many preferences are different and some features are completely different and some are similar and it of course is debatable which one is better but what is your personal preference? I personally prefer the PlayStation 4 since it has been dominant for me since a long time (I played the first PS) but I also stick to Windows 7/8 for gaming like CS GO and the PC I have is one from Sony Vaio PC and an Asus laptop. I play Warframe, point blank and CS GO on Asus, Warface, GTA and overwatch on PC and a lot of games on PS4 like Murdered Soul Suspect, COD BO3, Battlefield Hardline, (even minecraft), Fifa 16, Witcher 3, Just Cause 3.

I like all consoles, the platform is irrelevant as long as I can play games on it.

I try all get them all, but this gen I've cut out the Xbox One. Was considering it, but now saving those funds for an NX.

Usually grab the Nintendos and PlayStations at launch. As I'm all for rolling with the hype.

I'm a multi console owner as I like the different games on each system. The Xbox One is my preferred system though and I spend the bulk of my time with it. I prefer it's controller and the environment on the system to the other ones. I also enjoy the games that it offers more then the other systems. The Wii U currently gets the second most playtime from me. I don't have a PS4 yet but am interested in getting a Neo when it comes out.

I have all of the systems and there are things that I like about each.

The Xbox One is my preferred system for multiplats since I like it's controller, features, community, and online service the most and it gets the most playtime because I play games with my friends on Xbox Live.

However, the Wii U is my personal favorite since many of my favorite games of this generation are Wii U exclusives. Plus, I like retro gaming and the Wii U makes a great retro gaming machine.

I've never cared much for PC gaming until recently since I've always preferred the console experience, but now I use my PC to play virtual reality games and I'm loving it for that purpose.

The PS4 would be last for me since it's exclusives are not as great as Nintendo's exclusives, I prefer to play multiplats on Xbox, and it won't be able to provide as great of a virtual reality experience as the PC can, but I do love Naughty Dog games and there are a few other PS4 exclusives that I'm looking forward to, so even though it is my least favorite, it still holds some value to me.

@Archangel3371: I have never tried an Xbox. I wonder what does it feel like?

PC only for obvious reasons.

I have slight interest in Wii u and ps4 for a blood Bourne and a couple Wii u exclusives but that's it.

I own an Xbox 360, Xbox, PlayStation 3, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation portable, Nintendo wii, Nintendo ds lite, Nintendo 3ds, Nintendo Gamecube, laptop, iPad and Nokia, so it doesn't bother me that much. I don't have to fanboy things because I can play it all. You might think I have way too much time on my hands to own all those consoles but I know people who have every retro console and next gen console in history, so I'm not exactly console obsessed. Heck, I know someone who owns a wonderswan. A freaking wonderswan! Anyways, I think fanboys just hate on things they're too poor to own. Xbox fanboys say 'nentondoe ez 4 stoopid ds babyz' PlayStation fanboys say 'OMG jrpg games are so Good!, uncharted and the last of us are so innovative! (I like jrpgs before you say I am dissing them.)' And Nintendo fanboys go on about 'graphics don't matter' and the 'good ol' days'. And PC? Well, we all know that guy. PC master race, etc... But anyway, it's okay to prefer something, but don't be uneducated and blindly hate on it just because your opinion is different or you don't have the money (no, I don't hate poor people'). Why not play them all. I've just been playing Pokemon. You know what? I'm gonna go play Halo! You have a problem with that fanboys?

@readygamenews: I like the asymmetrical layout of the analog sticks, it feels most comfortable to me. I've always had a nice and smooth online experience with how their online works with voice communication, joining up with friends in games, accessing the online store,

I'm a Manticore and I own all system, PC as well but nevertheless, this is what I prefer when it comes to preference in gaming in this order:

1. PS4
2. PC
3. Wii U
4. 3DS
5. Xbox 360
6. PS3
7. Xbox One

Also since MS is now gonna bring there games to PC, I really don't need my Xbox One anymore and will consider trading it for NX assuming if Nintendo can WOW me into buying NX. I personally don't hate the Xbox One, with windows 10, it makes sense just use my PC to play MS games and the less consoles I have plug in my house, the better to make more room.

My preference is Xbox, but I've owned/will own other brands as well if there are games on them I want to play.

I prefer PC, but I also got a PS4 and Xbox One. My PS4 sits under my TV, I use it for exclusives and streaming. My Xbox One I used for HaloMCC and Halo 5, it's now back in it's box.

1. PC

2. 3DS

3. PS3

4. Wii U

5. PS4

Don't care for brands or any of that crap, just whatever has the best games.

pc. I like to mod games, and the sales that the digital platforms put on makes stuff way cheaper.

PC here. I enjoy games in general, but my platform of choice is the one where I am most comfortable and that is PC. Controls suit me better, and I consider myself a game collector and enthusiast so PC is the only logical choice; it caters not just to casuals and moderates, but to the hardcore and more serious. In the long run PC has saved me a lot of money, too.

I have Steam Link (amazing!) and a controller (good, I guess), but it just ruins the immersion for me because instead of devoting all my attention to the game, a good chunk of my brain is trying to relearn how to use controllers. Not sure if it is worth the investment; sitting on my couch and playing Transistor or Ori and The Blind Forest or any number of really cool, controller-friendly games is awesome, but not sure if learning how to use a controller is worthwhile.

There are only a handful of times per year I wish I had a console, and if I did, it'd probably be a PS4, especially since MS announced that almost all (?) games they publish will be released on PC and console, i.e. no reason to own an Xbox.

Growing up I'd argue my time was split between gaming on my PC at home, and gaming with friends on console at their houses. I know local multiplayer still exists, but somewhere in the recent past all that seemed to stop and people rarely seem to pack their asses in couches too small for four people and talk shit and game and drink beer. That was a big big big positive to console gaming and I think they need to reinforce that in the future, might just convince me to get a console.

TL;DR: I enjoy all platforms to game on, but ultimately consoles are a distant, distant, distant alternative to PC gaming for me.

same here

I prefer PC. It offers variety of different genres and full backward compatibility.

Though true, that's a bit misleading. My copy of Dungeon Keeper, and DKII doesn't work on any modern P.C. without community emulation software. Windows 8 and 10 hate >all< my older games.

And yes, I know you can re-buy those on GoG, but that's not backwards compatible is it >:T

It's true that some of the old games are a bit tricky to run but most work just fine, which is a lot better than what you get on Consoles. And if you are picking them up from GOG then they almost always work without issues and old games are also dirt cheap now.

I play old games a lot, so it's a lot easier for me to just play Witcher 3, and then few moments later start another walkthrough of Half Life 2, Thief or Broken Sword, on same machine. It really makes things a lot easier, lol.

@Cloud_imperium: Yeah definitely depends on the games but in that regard I'm not to fussed with consoles. Though I'd love if the PlayStation 4 at least made a PS1 emulator, the same way the PS3 did.

i like PC. Console games are a bit more limited, but it is not pc games

I have no console preference I like games and I play them in the system they can be found, Gears is only available in Xbox, Mario is only available in Nintendo and God of War is only available in PS so I have:

The only ones missing are N64 ( I do have it but I haven´t installed them ) and Dreamcast ( I don´t have one ... yet ). I do have orig. PS1, Xbox, NES and SNES but I don´t need them to play the games, the can be played in the systems I have installed.

I have PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV. So I like Sony, in addition to Microsoft with Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox one. finally I have Nintendo NES, Nintendo Gameboy, Super Nintendo, Gameboy Color, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gameboy advance SP, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintnedo DS, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS.

I will be getting PlayStation Neo, Xbox console S, Xbox scorpio and Nintendo NX. When they arrive. First will be PlayStation Neo since Sony is my favorite game company of the Three.

PC as I can play all my games wherever I want to what spec I desire, with whatever accessories I desire. The PC is the ultimate gaming platform.

For me this gen:

1. 3DS

2. PS4

3. Wii U

4. Xbox One

5. PC

6. PS Vita

I couldn't imagine only gaming on one system.

I have the Pc, Xbox 360, GBA, Nintendo DS and 3DS, as well as the Sony PlayStation 1-4. I like all of them, but my preference is ultimately the PlayStation series.

However, I do enjoy the achievement system far more on the Xbox 360 than the PlayStation's trophy system.

The PC is now my main platform.

I used to play a lot of console games but as the years went by I started playing less and less and now that the uniqueness of consoles in terms of games relatively to the PC is all but gone having a console makes no sense to me anymore aside from the very few exclusives they get,so unlike other gens I still haven´t even got a new gen console yet and the way things are looking,probably not gonna get one at all.

I have no real bias against any gaming platform. PC has been my top preference since around 2000 but I still like consoles however they are not as unique as they once were. All we have now is a few high budget exclusives and unfortunately Sony's recent exclusives just did not quite grab me like I thought they would unlike previous systems. Drive Club was a total bust, Killzone was ok and skip to this year, U4 looks to be best but all the others either didn't grab my interest or turned out to suck once I played them...to me at least.

Though I have some hopes for Scorpio and PSVR so time will tell but I'll definitely wait it out before I just run off and buy a console again.

Ohhhhh PS4 Slim and Xbox S are coming out which is the preferred now???

List according to Preference:

1. PC

2. Wii U

3. PS Vita

4. PS4

5. a wooden stick to poke stuff with

6. smart phone.

PC. I haven't bought a console since the Sega Megadrive. Was tempted for a while during the X360/PS3/Wii era, but then, perhaps paradoxically, I became more casual and relaxed as a gamer, and any temptation just faded. I have zero desire to buy a console now.

Intel for CPU, Kingston for RAMs (it's easy to find around here), usually tilt AMD for graphics cards, but currently running on an ASUS Strix GTX 970. I also have an ASUS notebook, and I generally tend to prefer ASUS motherboards, but currently running on an AsRock (again, easier to find than a high-end ASUS). Silverstone for PSU, and I hate it - looking to switch to Seasonic, which I heard are really good.

#ManticoreLife

I currently use my 3DS, Wii U, Xbone, and PS3 the most. Plan to get a PS4 towards the end of the year though. For exclusives. Horizon Zero Dawn is going to be great, and NMS still looks pretty damn fun. And i've still got a few more games to play on the Vita. Eventually.

hey are u enjoying bioshock mate I've just started playing it and it's great.

@sukraj: Yeah I finished the first one already... lol. Even though I've played it so many times before, I loved every minute of it again. It's a masterpiece.

Looking forward to playing 2 and Infinite again soon too.

Last gen I had the PS3, X360, WiiU, Vita and 3DS. I didn't like it very much so I sold the X360, the WiiU, the 3DS and not so long ago the Vita. This gen I only bought the PS4. On all the one I sold, the Vita is the one I had the most fun memory, 3DS was fun but not memorable, the WiiU put a smile on my face but it was so easy that I got bored and the X360 isn't for me.

Playstation is always my prefered consol each gen because I mainly play JRPG and some exclusive, very few overhyped multiplat.

Nice try.

Try posting this is system wars if you want a more "heated" debate.

But to answer your question, i prefer games, so do not have a favorite console. I have all platforms and will continue to have them as long as they provide me with games i want to play.

Im also way to old to be a fanboy of anything.

I guess I've always been a Sony fan though I've had a lot of different consoles. I really enjoyed the xbox 360 but I had a ps3. I really love my ps4 but I've had a Xbox One. I had almost every system but Nintendo, and some of the random Sega ones. I also have a PC that I love but I always seem to play ps4. I'm not a console snob, I love them all, they each have their ups and downs.

Nintendo Console + PC is all you need.

@readygamenews:

Right now the Xbox One is getting most of my attention. But before that it was ps4 with some WiiU on the side.

If only there was a board focusing pretty much on the topic of this thread. Maybe you should check out System Wars? (where this question was asked more times than anyone can count)

PS4

Xbox One

I was always a Sega fan over the years then when the original PS1 dropped I was onto that. The PS2 was a natural progression and it became my fave console of all time, the sheer volume of great games sealed that.

When the og Xbox came along I had 1 for a while but I never really enjoyed the games as much as the PS2 so it went. I gave ms 1 more chance with the 360 but again I didn't enjoy the games so I sold it for a PS3 and I never looked back.

This gen I decided I'd skip ms completely and stick with Sony and the PS4 and haven't regretted my decision, I enjoy Sony and associated 3rd party games more.
