Poll: What's your primary gaming platform?

[Vigormortis]

Primarily PC for me.

Lately I've been attempting to work my way through my backlog of unplayed games, the primary goal of which is to spend more play time on my unplayed PS4 games.

I've...had mixed success. I've yet to even sit and play Destiny[footnote]The primary reason I bought this specific limited edition PS4.[/footnote], let alone Bloodborne, Infamous, etc.

I'll get to 'em. Eventually...

PC has only expanded for me since I got a Surface Pro since it's pretty beefy games on a small device or just emulation...Or you know the full intent for getting the device, that being to make art on it. That's been my most pleasant surprise in recent years.

What kind of performance do you get out of the Surface Pro? I've waffled over getting one for my mobile computing needs[footnote]My Windows Phone is powerful, but not quite enough, and my Steam Machine is mobile but setup primarily for local co-op gaming, so neither quite does the job.[/footnote] but can't decide if it's worth it. I.E. if it'll suit my needs.

It's split between my PS2 - fat forever! - my fat PS3 - mostly B/C but what doesn't play on it I play on the PS2 - and my 360. I'll get a new gen system when their library of new/sequel games improves. So far, glad I've stayed with the ones I have.

 

[Evonisia]

Mostly the Xbox One and PC, though I do own the other consoles listed. Not playing a whole lot at the moment, but when I get new titles I largely aim to get them on the Xbox One.

I already knew the results without even looking. This site is predominately a PC Gamer site. So, that was a given.

Anyway, I'm a Playstation person. Been playing on them since the PS1 and I've never had any complaints with the systems, games, or even the service when service was required. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best system for my needs and wants. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll get a shower and play some Dragon Quest Heroes.

PC only, last console I owned was a PS2, and that was mostly used for playing the PS1 release of worms.

I'm not that much of a gamer and PC just has a lot of utility that consoles don't.

 

[Ryallen]

PC, Wii U, and 3DS. I would play my PS4 more often, but the only game that I would want to play on it is Bloodborne and I'm really lazy, so I don't really go back to play it very often, even when I have nothing to do.

 

[FPLOON]

Laptop
Wii U
PS3
3DS
GameCube
PS2
PSP

Other than that, I'm trying to buy one of those HDMI dividers so that I can have both my Wii U and PS3 plugged in simultaneously, my GameCube and PS2 are mostly used for LPs, my PSP is mainly used as a MP3-type player, and the moment Star Fox Zero comes out is when the Wii U would become my primary gaming platform... the same way I'll have a PS4 when Persona 5 hits the west...

 

[JohnnyDelRay]

Majority on PC. I used to play fighting games and driving games on PS2 and PS3, and a bit on XBOX 360. Now I play those mostly on PC, as I usually get into a generation a year or 2 late. Plus I'm not going to upgrade or buy new racing sim hardware for either PS4 or XBONE so it'll be PC for a while yet.

 

[GhostFox]

Exclusively PC for me. I don't own any consoles, never have, and never plan to.

 

[Strelok]

PC, one look at this next generation of consoles was all I needed to know I will skip the final console generation. Even exclusives won't bring me over this time, buying a console for an exclusive is like paying the warden of a POW camp to visit a POW.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

It's still the PS3. I'm very happy with it

 

[FalloutJack]

A comination of the above, though Steam is the main culprit for the PC end. So many things that they just don't release to console...

 

[B-Cell_v1legacy]

PC by far because it provide anything i can play.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Used to be an Xbox 360 gamer up until around the time I joined this site, or maybe a year before. Then I got my first good PC, and started switching over to that. Played a bit of both for a few years. Now I only play on PC, really. Probably because every 360 I've ever owned got the red ring. I find my computers to be so much more reliable, flexible, and easy to get games for. I still own an original xbox, a PS2, and a Sega Megadrive, but I never really play them. Well, aside from when I was assembling a new PC, I played some old xbox games through to completion.
Edit: And kinda glad I stopped with the 360... Xbox Live was kinda toxic. At least the assholes I knew on there are too dumb to make the switch to PC.
No, not saying that console gamers are stupid, I'm saying those assholes in particular are so stupid, I'm surprised they even knew how to turn on their consoles.
I will admit to missing playing games like Crackdown 1 & 2 with friends. There are some pretty good games on consoles.

 

[Joccaren]

Almost Exclusively PC, occasional 3DS games too. Most of the site is similar - primarily PC, a bit of time with secondary platforms as well. If I were to hazard a guess its probably because the majority of the forums aren't all that into the latest Battlefield, CoD or Assassins Creed style games that are really popular on consoles, and instead see them as fairly bland and boring, however on the PC the slower paced games in different genres like RTS, 4X and Turn Based Tactical [Say, XCOM 2] appeal more to them, or the Indie scene, and thus they primarily play on the PC. Just a guess though.

 

[sXeth]

Ps4 primarily nowadays. A year or two ago I would've said even between PC/PS4, but PC releases just being buggy unstable messes has pushed a lot of my play to the (generally) reliable console.

 

[Darth Rosenberg]

Most of the respondents voting PC Master Race at Escapist? Who'd a thunk it...

Console Peasant Collective here, gaming almost exclusively on XB1. If I had a PC that could cope with modern games I might be playing XCOM 2 (though an apparent lack of controller support at the moment would be mean I'd hold off), but that's about the only current PC 'exclusive' that I'm miffed about not playing, so I don't feel I'm really losing out.

Oh, and Horizons isn't out on console yet for Elite Dangerous, but that's only a matter of time. *folds arms/taps foot impatiently and glares in the vague direction of Frontier Developments*

 

[McElroy]

I sometimes entertain the fantasy of having lots of consoles and games and THE TIME to play them all, but hahhaa no way in hell. I have a PS3 I might play rarely (in fact, my Demon's Souls should arrive any day now... any day... at any moment...), but my answer to the poll is PC all da way.

 

[DrownedAmmet]

Still rockin the PS 3 here, gettin caught up on all the games I missed out on.
Almost at the end of Metro Last Light, which I am digging even though it rips control from you too much

 

[gorfias]

It is the tried and tested Personal Computer, my dear fellow. I have an original PSP lying around in a drawer somewhere, but the PC is the only thing I play games on now. I had an N64 for much of my childhood and tried the XBOX as well, but I always returned to the warmth and familiarity of the mouse and keyboard. I could pretty much do anything I wanted with it.

I've never tried the Halo games on PC. You? I can't imagine them playing as well on PC as the good ole Xbox but maybe I'm missing something.

Xbox should have lasted longer. A pity. Great system.

N64 was a revolution but didn't have the controller figured out yet the way the PS2 did (and hasn't changed much since them, regardless of XB1, PS4 or even the WiiU pad controller!)
