Discuss your favourite game consoles here! Is it the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One or that sweet PS4?

My favorite is probably the 3DS.

My Wii U, I've only ever had a Wii and Wii U but the Wii U has a better game selection and can play all the Wii games I own. The Wii didn't have too many good games (although the ones that were good are considered to either be one of the best in their franchise or a cult classic) but the Wii U has way more options

I love my Wii U, even though that gamepad thing is kind of disorienting at times.

I think it's the opposite way around. I can name a few obscure Wii gems off the top of my head; Wii Party, Go Vacation, Boom Blox and Boom Blox Bash Party, Mario Sports Mix, Wii Play Motion, Warioware D.I.Y. Showcase, Kirby's Dream Collection, Animal Crossing: City Folk(?).

The Wii U has popular games which are considered classics, Smash 4, Mario Maker, MK8, Breath of the Wild, 3D World, Splatoon et cetera. It's third-party support, however, is below average (to put it mildly).

I do think the Wii U is better though. It's an amped-up Wii with more features.

switch is pretty cool i guess
but gba has some of my fav handheld games (excluding every switch game ever)

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

I should take a look at Go Vacation.

I have the first 2 and the last 2, and yes those are good games. I was never as much of a third party guy which will explain my preference, plus I just recently got into buying Virtual Console games, but the Wii did have a better selection with the right controllers

Save the Internet. This time, Europeans are the ones who will get hit.
The European Union is implementing a law, Article 13, that is not just very vague, but very, very (I mean it) restricting. DanTDM, don't blame me (blame the European Union) if you're banned from playing your Nintendo DS on camera unless you pay Nintendo a certain amount of money, however much they decide. (Yes, the new laws will allow that!) Don't force me to overwork my mouth and make me say all the possible loopholes (the previous one wasn't even a loophole, by the way) with Article 13.

Copy and paste this and put it in your signature to save Europeans.

Interesting, I find Playstation to be better than Xbox

I'm a PS fanboy. I had a PS2 earlier, but I got a PS4 recently. I love the Xbox controller, but I feel the PS game collection is more suited to me.
(When are they making more Sonic games for PS4?!)

I like the Nintendo Switch the most. The portability is pretty useful. Power doesn't matter on the system, especially when all the games you like to play are either not on other systems or don't run slow.

Gamecube, the switch is great and I love it! But the gamecube has kinda grown on me, the 3DS graphics make me wanna vomit, and the switch well, you mostly use it in portable mode, but the Gamecube is still flawed I guess.

Same here, but only because of LittleBigPlanet.

What do you guys think about the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X? I feel they're awesome, but expensive. And do you know about any special editions, like Xbox One Star Wars Edition and Minecraft Edition?
EDIT: Typo

I agree, as long as the console doesn't take steps back.

Spycapt54

Do you guys think getting a past-gen console for just one or two games you missed out on or to play a different version that's completely different would be worth it?
