Xbox Series X is still my main platform but to a lesser degree than a few years ago. Since Microsoft is moving away from both physical media and exclusives, Game Pass is the only reason to own an Xbox now. I use my PS5 more than ever and tend to buy multplats for it instead of Xbox.

I'm old and still have every almost every game I ever owned, bar some C64 and Amiga games. Still have my OG 2600 carts in the loft, along with everything else. I never traded anything in.

- Because I get Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Epic, GOG on the same device.
Plus emulators and mods.
And because I don't have to wait 4-8 years to upgrade and can choose how to upgrade.
I still hate WASD controls though…. Worst control method invented. Unfortunately it's a necessary evil when I want mouse aiming.

I have heard that to be the case. Maybe I would actually enjoy the game if I tried that!

I mean, if you look at sheer hours, it's definitely PC. Diablo 2 and Ultima Online combined is thousands of hours on PC.
although lately, I've pretty much only been playing Switch 2 since the Switch 2 came out.
Hooked on MKW and TOTK (again)

Consoles are more often optimized because of the fixed hardware

Didn't know that was a thing. But I don't play Nintendo games, and I use the DualSense Edge with my PS5 Pro, and it was designed with those first party PS games in mind (including the trackpad), so I am fine with those few I do play on there.

ESDF is superior. And no. For shooters is still supreme cause faster and more precise change of directions. And not necessary:

PC grew substantially since last gen. 10 years ago, the most popular GPU in PCs was Intel integrated graphics per Steam hardware survey. Now dedicated graphics dominate. Gaming landscape has changed dramatically over the last decade.

In recent years, I have not had any issues with unoptimized games on PC. If you have a high end PC, you can usually brutal force everything or use mods to clean things up.
I have not had any issues that I could not resolve quickly on my own or wait it out for a patch.

PC for the following reasons:
- It's the most flexible of all gaming platforms with regard to graphical settings, mods and control schemes.
- I don't have to pay to play online.
- Most games are cheaper.
- It supports backwards compatibility for all generations (and emulation is easier than ever).

And? More optimized just means it can extract more of the hardware. That doesn't mean it will have better performance and graphics.
-Also on PC and other consoles with adaptor.
-Almost all of them better on PC.
-All better on PC.
-All better on PC.

Currently, Xbox, despite having all three (well, Switch 1 af least). This is mainly due to the fact that I have Game Pass through the remainder of this year and more of my friends are still on Xbox rather than PlayStation.
However, I've been gradually buying any multiplatform games I want to ensure I keep long term on PlayStation and I won't buy any games digitally on Xbox because there's too many questions about the future of Xbox platforms.
After this generation, I don't see myself buying any Xbox hardware again, whatever form that may take.

Xbox, solely because of game pass and its many games.

I have heard of that, but never had the pleasure.

Moderated wildly
It's probably split pc and xbox, maybe leaning xbox.
I like that I can do play anywhere thanks to xbox / gamepass across pc and xbox so I can play at work on my lunch.
Switch gets a lot of attention followed by ps5 which is for exclusives.
Then meta quest 3 etc

I prefer playing on PC. Since companies like Sony started censoring their games I stopped buying none exclusive games on Playstation. On PC I can install modes and play old games on private servers.

PC as my wife, because I grew up with it and I am a strategy game lover (especially RTS).
Nintendo is my mistress.
Had a hot, romantic fling with PS2, though. Mostly because of FF11 and FF2.
Also had a romantic fling with the OG Xbox, mostly because of Halo 1 and 2, which I played at Link Parties.
Neither my mistress nor my wife knew about those, tho.
The rest were one-night stands.

IBM's failed attempt to take on Commodore in the 80s. I won one at a store auction. Damn thing was $999 even back then so winning one is the only reason I had it. It failed because IBM didn't make it fully PC compatible. They didn't want folks buying PCjr instead of regular IBM PCs because it was cheaper. So it was discontinued a year or so after launch.

Same on everything (not 800 games though). Also for some reason I always seem to find other players online no matter how old or niche the game I'm playing is.

No idea. But there are other options too.
They don't like crap IQ, performance, controls, BC, paid online, no mods, almost no emulation, expensive games, bla bla bla etc etc, so they are stupid.
