What Console Have You played on the most Ever?

The PS2

360 because i had no pc back then. I was a sweaty teenager playing Gears 1 for like 5-10h a day every day. Eww

SNES easily

I had Turtles in Time / Yoshi Island / Link to the Past / FF4 / FF6 / Castlevania 4 / Pilot Wings / Megaman X1-3 / Contra 3 / DKC1-3 / Super Metroid / F-Zero / Super Mario RPG / Earthbound / Star Fox / Stunt Race FX / Uniracers / Rock N Roll Racing / Chrono Trigger / Street Fighter 2 / Super Punch Out / Ken Griffey JR. Baseball (I do play baseball games you friggin liar IP DAILY)/ Super Metroid / NBA Jam / Tecmo Super Bowl

Prolly more I used to rent games too every weekend I started renting on NES but I was more into on SNES....

All the games on SNES had insane replayability you could pop those games in and be in heaven every time

Not with the ps4 and xb1 and the PC and 360 and ps2 I WAS NOT IN HEAVEN PLAYING THOSE GAMES THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SAME REPLAY FACTOR as SNES ones and I was mad about it they were one and dones. They did not have the same visual sprite fun factor either, the games looked meh to me compared to SNES ones with 'perfect' 16-bit sprites.

SNES was on another level for play time and play ability and fun factor it had the best games it all the games it was a good time.

PS3 or PS4, I was really big into CoD with the ps3 and played a LOT of Destiny 1@2 on the ps4.

Many believe you're a teenager now, me included LOL.

I'd say Sega Megadrive. The best there is, the best there was & the best there ever will be.

SNES is by far the most played console of my lifetime and I still go back playing it if I'm in the mood for Retro gaming.

In order (most likely) PC, NES, 360, PS4, Xbone, Wii, Master system, Switch, N64, PS5, then others.

I was playing Gears while beeing a sperm, actually.

Ps2 and Xbox360. I shouldn't leave out PC either, since that's mostly always a thing.

Also a nod to Timesplitters 2 and Melee on Gamecube. Thousands of hours in local play.
*edit* Logically speaking, should be PC.

Easily Super Nintendo. I was 10 when it came out in 1990, so it was before any real responsibility set in, so I had all time in the world to game and what a glorious time it was!

@ProtossRushX:

Yeah, SNES were simpler games, but they just had more replay value. Super Mario World is a prime example, even Mario Brothers 3, a game that is 30 years old and is still a classic.

PS1 and PS2 era games haven't aged so well. That said, I played PS2 the most, ironically not my favorite console either.

SMS and Genesis for obvious reasons.

DC, lots of PSO and online 2K sports games.

360, lots of everything great online and off.

Eh, no way can I pick one clear winner.

Plus I was younger in those days and played a heck of a lot more. :P

Probably Gamecube.

Me and friends had many game nights with Smash Bros. Melee, Soul Calibur 2, Mario Kart: Double Dash, TimeSplitters 2, F-Zero GX, Mario Strikers and more. Probably thousands of hours of gametime.

And I was very much in love with ~15 single player games which I also replayed several times. Probably a couple thousand hours gametime there as well.

PS2 and it aint even close, followed by snes and ps1, rest are overshadowed hard by pc

Playstation 3 or NES. PC trumps both.

In terms of sheer number of hours, probably my fat ps2. I played and played and played on that thing and still plug it in occasionally for this and that. That being said, it's not my favorite system ever (although a solid workhorse). For that title it would probably go to my Genesis or Dreamcast, which I play much more nowadays than the PS2, with the Switch creeping into a second place

*edit* in fact, it's hard to say, but if I reflect on the more recent gaming in last 15 years or so my Genesis and Dreamcast may have overtaken the PS2 in a tortoise-hare way. Still, my answer (PS2) is reasonable given the enormous amount of time it got in its day. I dragged that box everywhere too

Megadrive easily.

Kind of a toss up between PS1 and PS3. I went with PS1 because I simply had more time back then. No family. No job. I could have said Genesis or NES but parents had restrictions on how much game time I was allowed.

Consoles I played on the most:

1. PS1
2. Sega Master System
3. PS2
4. GameCube / Xbox
5. Dreamcast / Wii

my most enjoyed console was n64, most played was probably xbox 360. If not console, then PC would be far above everything else

The 360 has drained my soul. Mostly by playing Mass Effect 1 2 and 3 to death as well as other games.

Also Playstation 1 and 2 back in the old days.

Either the PS2 or the PS4. Most of my time with the PS3 was split between that and the 360. I've owned older consoles but didn't have as much time to game then as I have had in recent years.

Probably the SNES or Master System.

The Master System was pretty big in the UK compared to many other countries. It was the "cheap" alternative to the Mega-Drive, the games were also comparatively cheap.

Played a shit ton of R-Type, Shinobi, Sonic The Hedgehog, and Master Of Darkness.

Most of the Snes playtime was SFII: Turbo. Only ever had 3 games for the system, none of them Mario, oddly.

Probably PS2. From there, tossup between SNES and Genesis.

Probably PS1/PS2.

Who the **** would know, much less care about something like that?

Hard to say really as there’s a number of systems that I’ve played a lot on but I’d probably say that it was the SNES. So many amazing games on it.

I have no idea tbh. But i think it's the PS2

PS2 here as well, I didn't have a good PC for games at that point and it was my primary gaming system for a while

edit: PC is unsurprisingly my most played system by a drastic margin but its not really fair since its cross gen

Probably PS1.

most definetly the dreamcast

For consoles, PS2. I definitely gamed the most on PC though.

The one I played the most ever was the SNES as that is what I had as a kid. I switched to PC gaming in High School , so I never played the other consoles as much, but have played PS1 and N64 tied at second most and Xbox 360 third most. I am tempted to get back into console gaming as a secondary platform for exclusives but have been too cheap to do so, so far.

PS1, easily. Final Fantasy games alone probably more time spent than on other systems.

That's a tough one. My favorite era of gaming is EASILY the PS1/N64 era because games then, how new 3D was and how many new ideas were coming out, there was such a diversity in games. Plus playing Resident Evil for the first time, or Metal Gear Solid, or Tomb Raider, or on N64 OoT, Conker, Perfect Dark, Turok, nothing will ever have the same kind of feeling or impression on me as that era did. And I think of those consoles I probably played PS1 more than anything. I may be willing to consider that the best console of all time, if we ignore raw hardware specs.

PS1 is a console though was where so many legends were born, and I played the crap out of them all.

@eoten:

Yeah, PS1/N64 was such a fresh era of gaming. Just because it was such a massive change. The start of many new franchises that we're had for the past 20 years.

@uninspiredcup:

The Master System was released in 1985, Sega Genesis/Megadrive was relased in 1989. It was the cheaper alternative in the way the PS3 is the cheaper alternative to PS4.

The Master System (an iteration of the SG-100 released in 1983) was a cheaper alternative to European computers, which it actually superseded in the visual/audio department. Nintendo dominance in the US was not the same as the UK.

It has been selling in countries like Brazil up until 2015 with a reported 150 thousand units sold a year still having games produced by Tectoy.

@uninspiredcup:

Sure. Master system was cheaper than certain computers, but it was not the cheaper alternative than the sega megadrive. One was 3rd gen. The other 4th gen.

SNES by a mile.

Xbox 360. I played the shit out of the NHL games for EASHL. Thousands of hours.

Oh! So you were a connoisseur of low quality gaming experience on consoles. That explains a lot.

probably X360 due to average game length and online multiplayer.

Uh... It was? Was literally given one because of this?

Like, not even sure what you are trying to argue here.

1) It was Cheaper 2) It shared titles as well as original titles well into it's late life 3) was being sold while the Mega-drive was in existence.

The Master System was being sold in the UK until around 1993. Literally years of coexistence.

In fact one of the original games I played the most Master Of Darkness released in 1993, with the Game Gear similarly acting as mini-Master System by and large sharing it's library lasting until around 1997.

It wasn't until Castlevania: Bloodlines in 1994 that The Mega-Drive got it's Castlevania title. as opposed to Master Of Darkness being back-ported.

So yea. Not a clue what you're trying to argue here man.

@uninspiredcup:

Saying the master system is a cheaper alternative to the Mega Drive, is like saying PS3 is a cheaper alternative than PS4. They are in different generations. I had one, and I also bought the Mega Drive. Two totally different systems. Thats my point

I'm still confused as to what your actual attempted point here is.

And for note -

The Master System was successful in Europe, where it may have outsold the NES by some margin. As late as 1993, the Master System's active installed user base in Europe was 6.25 million units, larger than that of the Mega Drive's 5.73 million.^[9] Combined with the Mega Drive, Sega represented the majority of the European console that year.^[35] The Master System's largest European markets were the United Kingdom and France, which had end of unit sales figures of 1.5 million and 995,000 by 1995 and 1993 respectively.^[36][37] The Master System II was also successful and helped Sega to sustain their significant market share. Releases continue into the 1990s in Europe, including Mercs (1991),Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) and Streets of Rage 2.^[13]

Ps5...
