I’ve gone from PC to Xbox 360 to Nintendo Switch and very excited about the recent addition of a Steam Deck. Curious what y’all gaming on?
PC for Minecraft and osu!, Nintendo Switch for Zelda and Mario Kart. I’m not a huge gamer, I only focus on a few specific games. In general I do prefer keyboard+mouse over a controller, though.
If we are talking strictly console, then the xbox360 is my all time favorite console and preferred console, especially since my absolute favorite controller goes to them as well.
Otherwise, PC is just more convenient for the fact I can use a 3rd party 360 controller and play console games via dedicated emulators or RetroArch cores.
I have a few other consoles, but my desktop and 360 are most definitely my picks for what I’d use if given the choice.
If I had a hacked switch and my computer had better specs to run pokemon violet at even close to 30 frames per second, you bet I’d just back up my games onto my desktop and play them on it using my 3rd party 360 controller.
All platforms. I own a Gaming PC, PS3, 4, 5. XBOX One, Nintendo Switch and an old school Nintendo, Sega Genesis, also have a Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo DS, and DS 3D.
I just love video games!
PC. I just love mouse and keyboard too much.

PC. For the price of a single console game, I could buy 5 pc games. Nothing can beat that pricing.
PS (currently 5)
Xbox X, but I’m considering a Steam Deck for a more portable experience. I need to be able to play off line though.
I’m offline half the time on Steam Deck. It has issues with reconnecting with my router after resuming and I just ignore it. If I manually connect when it doesn’t auto connect, it complains about password error, but I just keep spamming ok and it connects. I wish I knew how to fix it.
Have you tried turning off Wi-Fi power management on the Deck? The Deck’s Wi-Fi is normally pretty good, but the Wi-Fi power management occasionally has issues with some combinations of router chipset and router settings, which can cause symptoms like what you’re experiencing.

Steam Deck for single player, PC for multiplayer.
Definitely my Deck. I like being able to sit on the couch and play alongside my husband on his PS5, rather than being stuck at a desk. I’ve always played handhelds, like the PSP, gameboy/DS/switch.
I favor Xbox but I can play on any platform as I own them all. The backwards compatible efforts and couch comfort helped it win that dominance in my life.
I just play the games that interest me, doesn’t matter the platform. Right now I don’t have a series S/X console because none of the current gen Xbox exclusives interest me. I play cloud, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and sega
I have owned most platform and by far I think the PS is the best. The exclusives are a level above everything else.
I currently play games on my PC, Switch, and Xbox Series S. I buy Xbox Anywhere titles whenever possible so I can enjoy it on my PC or Xbox!
Got my deck earlier this week and have been loving it for emulation.
