On this day of commercially designated romance, we’re meant to celebrate our love for that special someone. I don’t celebrate it, but Darryn will spend the day rubbing chocolate all over his left hand. So what about our gaming platforms? Do you stick to just one, or are you a true, um, “player”?
I must say that I am loose with affection when it comes to gaming platforms. With a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U (not to mention Wii and PS2 packed away somewhere), PC gaming rig (my husband’s but I have “full access”), Mac, 3DSXL and now iPad, I’m rather spoiled for choice in gaming. Wow, I just realized how much I get around.
That said, I am rather monogamous when it comes to particular genres. Mac and PC are for FPS and MMOs, while PS3 and Xbox 360 are for RPGs. While I used to prefer JRPGs on PS3, I have transitioned into liking the Xbox 360 more – if I’m going to play games for that many hours, I’d rather hold a really comfy controller.
Considering I only have two HDMI ports, it’s clear that my love of the Wii U isn’t really practical – it spends most of its time unplugged from the TV. The PS3 still has seniority over the Xbox, mostly because it’s the best media server and works for TV entertainment as well as gaming – that thing never gets unplugged from my TV. Do you have a port for every console you love, or are some left high and dry?
So, are you monogamous with one gaming platform, or do you get around? Are you platform agnostic across all genres, or are some games meant to be played on PC or console?

DarthofZA
February 14, 2014 at 10:36
My TV has 4 HDMI ports, and all 4 get used. My 360 sees most of my console gaming time. This has been due to the controller being far superior more than anything else, so multi-plat titles get played there. The PS3 sees only exclusives really, least utilized of all my consoles. The WiiU currently sees the second most amount of gaming time, but I see that stopping as soon as I’ve finished Zelda (the system just doesn’t have that many games). The fourth slot is for my pc, but that isn’t use that much, the end of the HDMI cable just hangs out for easy access. The Wii-U is on most of the time though, as I use it to stream the LCS as well as for Netflix.

I have always been in a long term relationship with PC since I was 16. But with prices skyrocketing and me urgently needing an upgrade, I am joining the console peasants at the end of the year. Dont get me wrong, I still will play all my older games on my beloved PC, but consoles are just more social. You can invite mates over, grab a beer and jam some CoD or Mortal Kombat. A LAN is not exactly efficient.
Also, you can resell games on a console, which you cant on PC. Finally, you have much less chance of catching a virus on a console.
So I guess my answer is going to be no soon. I will still keep my PC, but will gradually move over to PS4

February 14, 2014 at 10:53
I was a PC junkie myself, but real life caught up to me as well. One huge benefit of a console is you unpack it, hook it up to your TV/Monitor and you are set for as long as that thing lasts. Yes, Xbox owners may have gotten Red Ring of Deathed in the beginning, but they sorted that crap out nicely.

well done in buying a house. Good step that.
Me, I need a bigger house for a pool table. Wife says no to using the “formal” lounge.
That is, I think, always the problem. You have bought a great house / home for you future PS4 (well planned, by the way) but will it be enough? Will the PS4 need, say, a bigger room for the HD Projector?
Sure, it is always enough in the beginning.

I’ve never been lucky enough to own a console in my younger years apart from the old Atari, SNES and Mega Drive. But I prefer FPS, strategy and simulation games, which is suited for the PC. Now that I can afford a new console they are really underwhelming post the N64 and PS2 days.
As for social the wii was king during my student years. Had tons of fun with it at friends place.. but I’d rather drink, play poker or citizens of catan, braai and watch the game than playing splitscreen on say an xbox or PS4.

I am in a completely monogamous relationship with my PC. Although to be fair – that’s more to do with the fact that I can’t justify spending any more money on my gaming obsession.
I see comments about console prices and I always see 1 more digit than I can justify. And that’s just the console. Then you have to buy games; and not only are there 3 digits before the decimal point; the first one is a bloody 6 …

That’s stopped me from getting a console too. I have far better things to do with those thousands.

And for the record, those 3 digit prices start with a 7 now.

New PC games on Steam are going for $60 too. I just won’t spend that kind of cash on a single game anymore.

Its far too ludicrous. Specials, or Indies. That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. My Dota addiction has even paid for a few of my Indie games.

I’m also going very Indie lately. Some great titles and original ideas.

Yeah, some of the best games I’ve played this last year are Indies. Reus and Bastion being the two most memorable for me. I still have a lot to download (cap restrictions, so annoying).

FTL is the best for me so far. But still want to get Rust for some MP.
Luckily I have uncapped, though had to change to Afrihost since Mweb kept throttling me all the time.
EDIT: You see the new humble bundle btw?

My xbox used to see the most game time, purely because it used to be the only console i had, since december i got ps4 and psvita in jan, Vita has been receiving the most attention of the lot.
I used to be loyal to xbox360 but now im fairly monogamous, future gaming purchases are dependent on which platform most of my friends will get it on if theres a multiplayer aspect.

Nope, although I do prefer some consoles over others, but I’m not weird about it. I think the only console that I won’t buy this gen is the xbone (I see it as last gen’s Wii. Not a console I’d want nor need). I’m still saving up for a wii u, and eager to get my hands on another DS and a new graphics card for my PC.
So in short, I’m Platform polygamous, and like Jacob Zuma I probably like one of my wives more…. 😛

PC/Xbox360 here… I’m a “hybrid master race”… not an ultra like those guys that have PC, Xbox360, PS3, PS4, 3DS, etc, all at once.

I honestly don;t care about a specific platform. Some games are just better on PC and others on Console. Mass Effect is the perfect example of that, I don’t like the game play on console and prefer it on PC(but alas I will have to live with it). And then Prince of Persia is crappy on PC but awesome on Console. If you get what I am trying to say 😛
O, and –> “Considering I only have two HDMI ports” <– There is some sort of sexual reference that can be made here, but I won't go there O_o

I have 3 HDMI ports, and I had to go and get an addapter to be able to plug in 2 more. All are in use – PS3,xbox360,PS4,dstv and media player. If I do decide to get an xboxOne at some stage, I will have to unplug one of them.

Lose the Xbox 360. Backwards compat……….
Oh wait. Still pissed off, but I understand why not

I am sure I will use the ps3 and xbox360 a lot less, as my ps4 game collection increases. Still, at the moment I need them all.

PC, PS3 and WiiU here… I am on the verge of selling my PS3 and just getting a Roku3 though. I only ever use it as a media server anyway.
WiiU is still pretty damn good for Nintendo games and my PC needs an upgrade xD

Have a PS2 and a PS3 in the house for basically everything Sony/multiplat devs release that doesn’t launch on PC (Fighting games I prefer on console, though with KoF 13 on Steam, it’s only a matter of time before most of my friends and I are plugging our controllers in and playing each other online), everything else, PC. I’ve purchased multiplats on both before, but ended up just not playing the console version because it wasn’t up to snuff.
But, without a PS3, I wouldn’t have gotten to play Uncharted, Infamous, Warhawk, MGS4, and all the other kickass titles that I bought, oh, and Red Dead Redemption, which I borrowed, because fuck you Rockstar.

I tend to love my 360 and PS3. Though I’m more partial to the 360 because of a bigger library.

Whats the point of being a fanboy of any flavour your just going to miss out. I have to say I have never liked Microsoft consoles, didn’t like the look of the xbox, owned and hated xbox 360 and the focus of the xbox one is too TV/media centred. I have a PC/Mac (Steam/App Store), every Nintendo console back to the SNES, Dreamcast, PS3 and a host of handhelds. I might get a PS4 this year later on. Share the love.
