I use stocks (mostly Nvidia) to handle the high cost, could never afford PC gaming with just my salary to be honest, an ordinary gaming PC in my country goes for $3000+
I'll have to look into stocks some day. I've also thought about asking my accountant one of these days if I could pass it as business expense (at leas some parts) since I do all the graphics design and video editing for my company (that way I'd at least save the 19% sales tax)
I think I could probably get something decently mid range in my country for $1500. And to be fair I think in the long run it's not THAT much more expensive since you save money on games (regional pricing in my country + third party key sellers) and not having to pay stuff like Ps+. Like Helldivers 2 show up as $28 (including tax) for me on Steam AND you don't have to pay for Ps+
It's just the up front cost which is way higher.

Most of my time is PC/PS
But recently PC took over.

Yeah I’m honestly blown away by the percentage. Nintendo is super low too. At least for console gaming this board is insanely PS focused going by this poll.
But it’s nice to see PC gaming growing! Maybe a big chunk of Xbox and Nintendo gamers have moved over to PC?

Other: All of them.
There isn't a system I don't game on. The ones that get most use, Xbox, Steam Deck and PC. PS5 has been collecting dust for over a year, will be dusting off for the next FFVii and Stellar Blade though..

PC and PS5, but it's a 95 / 5 split in favour of the PC.

PlayStation has been my only primary gaming platform since the late 90s.

I don’t have enough money to invest and become rich but even a smaller amount of money is adding up over time and for me it has been helping out a ton. Don’t sleep on it. Nvidia is up 60% just this year
Could drop down tomorrow nobody knows but WW3 could start too so whatever. Just start with a small sum and let it grow while you’re planning your build. I’m about to invest in my first ever living room PC. Exciting times!

PC, but since my gaming rig went down last year it's been specifically the Steam Deck.

he was the OP of the last thread on this. Curious to see how things changes in this new poll vs the one from back in Sept 2023.
Social - Community - Poll - GAF what is your main platform for gaming
Just wondering what’s the ratio for each platform on gaf since we have so many new members.

Damn it

Switch physical cartridges is my primary way to enjoy games, with some digital sales now and then. PS5 is for exclusives and physical AAA games + PS4. Series X for digital gaming, GP and old gen titles.

PC: The best of all worlds
PC Exclusives
Xbox Exclusives
The Biggest Sony Exclusives
And you can even run Nintendo games via emulation
I also have both next-gen consoles, Xbox Series X and PS5, but they are only used for BC at this point. I have yet to buy a game for either machine, my Xbox came with a Forza Horizon 5 download though which I'm using on PC

I play a few games simultaneously, and more often or not the lineup consists of something on each platform.
Currently:
RDR2 on XSX
FNAF Security Breach on PS5
Mario Wonder on Switch
Robocop and Elden Ring on PC

Currently have a ps5, pc (RTX 3070) and steam deck oled.
keep switching between PlayStation and pc as my main. Currently been playing more on ps5 then steam deck (indies and emulation). My desktop I haven’t played on since finishing Alan wake 2 in December.
the specs/price of the ps5 pro will probably makeup my mind of my main platform will be going forward.

I play where the games are. Right now it's PC. Last year during the holidays it was PS5. My Xbox has been kinda underused lately.

I feel like a lot of old-time xbox gamers (myself included) switched to pc gaming. I have three of the four platforms here but yeah, im not surprised by the result

Xbox is for when I can play on the TV, which is becoming less and less as the kids get older. Otherwise, I play the Switch and the Steam Deck but realistically when I’m on the Steam Deck I’m playing on the Xbox Cloud so my saves transfer back to my Xbox.
When Xbox finally lets me play the games I own on the cloud, it will become my main system.

My PS5 is strictly for exclusives, and I play Series X a bit more than Switch these days though that used to be reversed, and I suppose I'm mostly PC these days and probably for the foreseeable future. The console game market for both PlayStation and Xbox is just going in a direction I don't care much for these days, and I can honestly see a future where I'm strictly PC and Nintendo when my daughter grows up.

Was XSX & PS5, but alas, now only PS5. I spend far too much time playing chess on my PC chrome browser too. Does that make me a PC gamer now too again? lol
