If it's been released, I own it. I'm lucky enough to have been born into an upper-middle class family with two very hard working parents.
What consoles do you own this gen?

Lol. That is indeed a bit of an oxymoronWoodsey said:
Controllers are actually good for some thing, though. I hooked mine up to play Super Meat Boy on my beloved PC, for example.
They're also good for incompetent/lazy developers who force (not even well-optimised) mouse acceleration and don't even provide a proper config file to edit it out.Clearing the Eye said:Lol. That is indeed a bit of an oxymoronWoodsey said:

"OH, HELLO PC VERSION OF AC2 THAT I HAVE BEEN PLAYING RECENTLY," he says nonchalantly.
360, Wii, DS, PSP, and PS2 (I'm still playing it. Seriously). Bought the 360 myself and everything else was obtained outside of my knowledge or was a gift.
360 is the most played one I guess. I'm tired of shooters and want to get rid of the CoD games that are taking up so much space. I don't know if I want to keep Battlefield 3 or not since it's better than CoD. I'm playing BlazBlue and waiting for Persona 4: Arena. Still have to finish my Assassin's Creed story DLC, Agarest War, and Resonance of Fate so I can start Tales of Vesperia.
Wii exists only for when friends come over so we can play Smash Bros or Mario Kart. Beat Metroid Prime 3 twice, Okami twice, and have to start Skyward Sword (see 360 backlist).
DS is for the Devil Survivor games and Strange Journey. I want to pick up Etrian Odyssey and Castlevania Order of Ecclesia and start Kingdom Hearts 358/2.
PSP is for Birth By Sleep and Persona.
PS2 is currently running Persona 4. Gotta play P3, Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga series, Devil Summoner series, Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus.
A Vita is on the "maybe eventually" list. Persona 4 Golden! Chances are my brother's gonna buy it himself like he did with the PSP. 3DS I might have bought if Megaman Legends was coming. Kingdom Hearts may or may not get me.

360 and Wii, although the Wii hardly gets played anymore, the poor thing. Mainly my younger step-siblings play that, the only games I own for it are Brawl, Mario Kart, and Kirby's Epic Yarn.
The rest are their shovel-ware games.
The 360 is my preferred console. It was originally purchased for the family but when it became clear my step-siblings couldn't take care of an expensive console, I took up the liberty of owning it myself. I've put more money into that console than it took to purchase it used. Surprisingly, it's one of the older white models, and boy are those fans inside of it loud. It works though, and that's good enough for me.
I also have a decent computer, too. I loathe the term "PC," because it's a label. Macs are capable of gaming now too, you know!

All three home consoles, and the DS. I believe all three of the home machines have their virtues and vices, and don't particularly prefer any one of the other two for hardware alone. I like the PS3 for how well it handled its UI and internet applications, however. And of course the wii hosts some of my favorite franchises, as well as some other 3rd party wii exclusives. It's also great for when I have company.
I also have a fairly capable laptop for the occasional game I want to play on PC rather than 360 or Ps3 or whatever.
As I spend a lot of time on the internet, and thus am going to be exposed often to the kind of debates involving the consoles, I try to keep myself informed firsthand.

Wii, DS, a new built PC to handle this gen games and this Christmas I will buy a 3DS.
I regret getting the DS and unlike a certain banned member, I see its limitation and its no good quality for that console in the future especially when I saw the list of games coming out in the future. Good thing I got a new PC as there is where I played my games these days.

I got a 360 that my girlfriend bought me as a gift some time back.
It only really gets used as a DVD player or for Drinkalong Deathmatch when I got friends round; although I have got Assassins Creed 1 & 2 sitting there waiting for me, still havent finished AC1, somehow

Wii - have barely touched it, played a couple games like Twilight Princess when I first got it, but after that I've let my sister keep it so she can use her Wii Fit. Probably accounts for 0.1% of my gaming this generation.
Nintendo DS - mainly play Pokemon on it. Probably accounts for 3.9% of my gaming this generation.
Xbox 360 - A variety of games, mostly use it for WWE 12 now though, which I play off and on. Accounts for around 9% of my gaming this generation.
PS3 - Played a few games, probably as many as the Xbox 360, but without a game with the playing longevity of WWE 12. Probably would have played it more if it had backwards compatibility. 7% of my gaming.
PC - 80% of my gaming this generation.
Overall, despite my PC being more expensive than any other individual item on the list, it gave me far more value than any one of them separately, let alone together.

(Not counting portables)
All of them and none of them.
I've owned all of the three consoles but I've sold them all, then bought some of them again, sold, bought, sold.
I bought the Xbox 360 at release, then I got Wii. Played a enough games, got bored of it (Wii) and sold it. My girlfriend at the time didn't think Mario was more fun than Kameo and, although I've got Mario as nostalgia, I don't really care about the series at all anymore.
Years went by, I sold my 360, bought a new one, played the new game I wanted, finished ,noticed there weren't enough good games available to keep the system. So I sold it again.
Bought another Wii, "hacked" it with whatever was available at the time, making it play iso-files, played the games I liked, while the girlfriend was using the "Fit Board" for snowboarding and yoga and whatnot. We both got bored pretty fast.
Bought another Xbox 360, played a couple of games, then got bored.
More Xboxes, more, more.
I bought a PS3 because of Heavy Rain alone. Good game but not good enough. Played Little Big Planet with friends which was okay. It's a great game but I don't play games alone, I play with friends. Looked at Uncharted, tried it really fast, got bored and sold the PS3.
Over the years I've had 7 Xbox 360's, 2 Wii's and 2 PS3's. I've never had one hardware failure of the 360 (probably because I sold it too fast), but it apparently had better exclusives TO ME than the other consoles. Not counting FPS, I hate FPS on consoles.
I'm currently not owning a single console. None of them are good enough to keep me from PC gaming. (Although Dust 514 is probably going to make me get another PS3 (which will probably last for a month or two until I realize I'd rather play with friends than alone) unless they release it for PC soon enough)

I have a PS3 for it's exclusives and I have an Xbox 360, which was my main gaming platform before I became a PC gamer. Now my Xbox is for exclusives or multi-platform games that are not on PC, as I now buy all my multi-platform games on PC.
Oh and a 3DS but that's pretty much for boredom during lunch time at work or something.

Alan Wake was originally Xbox exclusive for almost two years. It was one of the few exclusives it had. The 360s big problem is that apart from Halo, It has little to no exclusive games.Anoni Mus said:
I also dislike mouse and keyboard controls which is apparently blasphemy for admitting that
This generation? Well seeing as this generation is a tad blurry at this point, I own...
Xbox 360
Wii
Playstation 3
PSP
DS
3DS
and a gaming PC (even though it's not a console)
I don't own a Vita and don't plan on buying one. I picked up a 360 at launch (due to some connections) and since you have to pay for online, I usually pick up my multiplats for it. Wii has Metroid and Zelda, along with some other gems and railshooters, so of course I have to own one. I picked up my PS3 just as they took out backwards compatibility, and I had given my PS2 to my younger cousins anticipating being able to play PS2 games on my PS3, so I was pretty muffed. Rarely play my PSP, DS was practically just for Pokemon with a few awesome titles sprinkled here and there, and the 3DS is becoming more awesome with each title that's released.
And PC's are PCs, what more is there to say about it?

I just have a 360, I've had 2 PS3's (one nicked, one had to get sold) and I've got one of the early PSP's.
I have a Sony phone so I can sign into my PSN account but I haven't quite worked out how to buy games >.> <.<
