I'm talking about a ps4 and xbox one or wiiU etc.. so older generation stuff doesn't really count unless you got a ps3 and xbox 360.

I just wanted to know the reasons why someone would buy both. One reason that came to mind is Let's players on youtube, getting out the first footage of new games and obscure/old games because their always an audience for old stuff (retro gamers).

I have all of the retro systems. But I do own a Wii U and I just recently (as in two days ago) purchased a PS4. I own them both because I prefer consoles over PC games, plus there are some games that are exclusive to just the PS4 that I wanted.

The 3DS is the only "Currently Generation" console I own, but I have for more than that:

Well... I've got :

1 PS4
1 PS3
1 Japanese PS2
1 Japanese PS1
2 PS Vita (Don't ask)
1 Sega Saturn that I can play import games with (thanks, Game Shark :D AND I can cheat too :D)
1 Japanese GBA SP
1 Japanese Nintendo 64
1 Super Famicom
1 Famicom

And... that should be it. If you count those my bro has : he has a Nintendo, a Super Nintendo, a Sega Genesis, a Nintendo 64 and a PS2. Oh and a DS.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure we hada Wii somewhere, probably lost in my bro's room.

Stuck with only Playstation since around the Ps3 and currently only play on the Ps4 and PS Vita. Dropped Nintendo with the Gamecube and 2nd version DS. Never owned any other recent gen consoles. There is a WiiU in the household but it's not mines nor do I feel any urge to play it.

So no to the poll. Only reason I would ever buy another console would be if it had a vast amount of exclusives that I would like to play, which none do, maybe like a couple games but not enough to warrant a purchase.

That's right. PC MASTER RACE FOR DA WIN!!!

Nah, just kidding, guys. I may be a PC gamer but I don't exactly do that Master race crap. As for the topic, I have been considering buying a PS4 for a very very long time but I have held back for several reasons. I can afford it but personally, I thought it would be better that the money could be better used to upgrade my PC. I also have a massive Steam backlog, a new console might mean more games to add to that and I fear it might take the fun out of gaming.

I own an X360 E that I won and a Gamecube, but they're never connected. I could sell them.

In the past, we had a PS3, PS2, N64, Dreamcast, NES, Mega Drive, Game Gear and Master System. Now I just play on PC, when I actually feel like playing.

im buying both cause im used to playing on an xbox
even though the controllers are the same thing, it's awkward using a ps controller for stuff like fifa, cod, and bf. + sea of thieves and gears look great.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear

Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places

I own the PC. Not a console, but I'm very happy with it. Wouldn't change it for all consoles that have been released so far. Well, maybe I would, then I would sell them all and buy an even better PC.

They're releasing "Shantae: Half Genie Hero" on the Wii U in physical form this December. If you're into the Shantae games, or Metroidvania in general, I'd recommend picking it up.

On the current generation, I only have one Console, and that's the Xbox1S. Because I really don't need anything else. There are no PS exclusives that interest me. Outside of Fatal Frame V and Bayonetta 2, there is nothing the Wii U has which interests me. Even the Xbox1 only won me over with Forza and my latent interest in picking up the Gears franchise.
In fact, most of my games thus far are all multi-plats and/or remasters from the prior generations. This is easily one of the weakest generations we've had.

Now, outside of modern consoles, I also have a First Generation Xbox which I still play often, a SEGA Dreamcast that gets some replayability, and a Gamecube that has SO MANY games that I'm still looking for. Also looking at picking up a PS2 in the next year or so to finish off the 6th Console Gen and grab the few PS2 exclusives that look interesting.

Only PS4.

Only gen I ever owned "two consoles" was last gen I guess. I had a Wii and PS3. I was a kid at the time and I liked some nintendo games, had the wii long before I had a PS3 though.

Don't care for nintendo games anymore, so I don't have a second current gen console. Never was interested in Xbox.

Not counting older consoles like my Genesis and Atari I have only two consoles that fit your criteria, a WiiU and a 360.

The reason of why I got the 360 is because at the time I didn't have a computer powerful enough to run modern games and the 360 generally runs multiplatform games way more smoothly than the PS3.

As for the WiiU, well I know Nintendo and I know there is no way in hell they're going to release their games on PC anytime soon. Plus they sort of are one of the few companies that still produces local multiplayer games, which believe it or not I still play with friends often.

of current gen I only have a wii u. Still have a ps3 and awhile ago I got rid of my 360. I do most of my gaming on PC but I also like nintendo games so I got a wii u :3.

There are some games i'd like to get that are only on the ps4. I can wait though, I don't wanna spend a lot of money on it. Probably won't have many games one it.

I plan to get the Xbox One eventually... I don't have the Wii U, because it just doesn't appeal to me that much anymore, and I'm more into PC games now. And Sm4sh didn't live up to its hype, which saddens me.

PC master race. Not out of choice but I can't afford consoles of the new gen. But if I somehow bought a console, that would most likely be a PS3.
I did own some old school consoles like PS1, GB and SNES.

Just talking current consoles i have WiiU, 3DS and PS4.

As much as i like my ps4 i have decided that next generation of those consoles i probably wont get either a playstation or xbox, purely because i have a beast PC and ive decided id be better of running some games onto the tv with hdmi and using a controller rather than owning the console itself.

Well see how that goes, its always possible a exclusive would lure me in, like currently i am glad i got the ps4 at launch because im super excited for Horizon zero dawn.

I always buy both nintendo consoles because the games are exclusive of course. Honestly though if they made pokemon for the consoles id stop buying their handhelds though, pokemons the only game i own on it lol.

- Playstation 2
- Playstation 3
- Playstation 4
- Wii
- Wii U
- PSP
- PS Vita

And my roommate and I share her Xbox 360.
I'm just big into gaming, so I tend to pick up whatever new consoles are out other than Xbox, just because I was never interested in much of the games that came out exclusively for it.

In terms of current gen I have a PS4, Wii U, and the New 3DS. I skipped xbox for every generation because the main selling point to me always seemed to be shooters, sports, and arcade games which didn't really appeal to me.
For past generations though I have a PS3, Wii, DS lite, Gamecube, PSP, PS2, PS1, GBA SP, and a Gameboy Color. I used to have a super nintendo and sega genesis but I basically had to give them away. As for why the game lineup between Nintendo and Sony to me seems to be quite varied and I tend to prefer consoles over PC just as a personal preference.

Nintendo systems and PC. PC really removes the need to own a PS4 or Xbox One. I might miss Persona 5, but I have a sea of PC games and Nintendo goodness that I can afford to miss one or two games that aren't on Nintendo/ PC.
