What system do you own, but neglect?

Bought an OLED switch 3-4 years ago and have maybe 10 hours of use.

Granted I don't play a ton, maybe 100 hours per year total between my primary consoles, but in comparison it goes (from most to least played, over the past 5 years):

- PC (~60%)
- PS5 (~30%)
- Steam Deck (~10%)
- Switch (<1%)

I've barely used my PS Vita, wouldn't mind getting some recommendations beyond the usual PS2 ports and Vanillaware games.
 
I haven't played anything recently, my ps5 and xbox are in their boxes in storage, only thing i play is mario kart world with my wife. I think with age i have lost desire to play video games.
 
Haven't used my PS5 since Shadow of the Erdtree but I'm pretty sure that's because Sony is neglecting me, not the other way around.

Switch.

I even play more time in my tablet (Magic Arena with the FF sets is so good!) than Switch.

Most of my gaming time is spent on PC/PS5, depending what is released on Gamepass or PS5. For example, I was playing Death Stranding 2 (I'm enjoying it a lot) but then I started playing Expedition 33 and got hooked so the PS5 hasn't seen me in a few days.
 
PS5 Pro. Primarily because I have a PC, Legion Go S and Switch 2 and right now they are taking up most of my time. Hasn't been a game I really felt I had to have on Pro since Astro Bot really.
 
I find that if I own a system and don't use it, it gets sold.


So I just have PC, Switch 2, and a Series S. Series S doesn't get use much but I keep it around for when my wife wants to play something with me and the game doesn't have local multiplayer.

Before Astro Bot was even released?

I tend to neglect PC gaming the most at the moment. I spend the most time on PS Portal right now, probably. Then Switch 2 and Xbox via XBPlay on my Steam Deck. I'm going to be getting back to DK Bananza this weekend now that I have some down time, so that's likely going to the top spot.
 
My Series X. I have a decent amount of games for it, but I mostly just use my PS5.

This year I think I have less than five hours played on it.
 
I have a series x since 2021 and i legit dont even know why. All i have used it for was indiana jones when that was exclusive and halo infinite before it got boring in 2 weeks.
 
XBSX - .5%
Switch OG - 4.5%
(ordered Switch 2, hope it pumps those numbers up)
Retro consoles - 5%
Quest 3/PSVR - 10% (lumping VR together)
PS5/Pro/Portal - 40%
PC/Steam Deck - 40%

Phone/iPad not included because it would lopside the numbers too much in favor of the phone/iPad. It's mostly time killers and not deep games.


edit - I unloaded the XBSX and Switch OG. I'm not really sure it is going to help with the goal of trimming down my game time choices since I will still have access to all of those games but at least it is a start. Baby steps.

If you're talking about current systems, I guess PC. I only own a Switch, Switch 2, and PC, and my PC is basically just a work and internet machine, especially since I kicked my Hearthstone habit a few years ago. I bought a new PC a few months ago after my old one died and I don't think I've gamed on it once.

My all-time most neglected system is probably the PS3. I bought one just to play GTA V, and never really touched it after I burned out on that game. I bought a few other games on the system, but the only ones that grabbed attention at all were WipeOut and Tokyo Jungle. If I'm being honest, I absolutely hated the symmetrical control sticks on the DualShock. My brain just refused to adapt.
 
PS5 Pro. My dumb ass got it at launch and I've barely used it at all. Basically just for Astro Bot and Gran Turismo, and my kids play Hogwarts Legacy on it.

I haven't bought a new PlayStation game since Astro Bot. I'd rather play on PC or Switch 2
 
PS5, only open accidentally when I turn on TY
My switch now are still inbound with my wife playing Animal Crossing,
Mostly use my laptop for gaming, and not so much as before because of works...
 
Quest 2
I found it charging inside an aquarium bench a couple days ago… Guess I had no other free power outlet and tucked it in there. Forgot I even had one. Don't remember when I last used it.
 
Switch. Played there 3 awesome gems, but other than that it would have been better to wait a bit to get a PC handheld like Steamdeck.

Regarding Switch 2, I think it's the first generation of Nintendo portables since GBA (I got GB but not at launch) that I don't get one at launch. I'm waiting to see if PC handhelds become a bit more lighter, cheaper and more powerful to get one. Will wait at least to see how the Sony one is: if it allows to run there Steam games and emulators I'll get it.
 
My Xbox sometimes stays turned off for months, however I've spent more time with it this year than several past years combined. A combination of some very good Game Pass months and catching up on some older BC titles not available on PlayStation.

Steam deck has the least play in my home now.

I only use it on trips if I have the energy but do not very often.
 
I've been neglecting a lot of my consoles over the years and that is why that I decided to stick with one system - I have been gaming exclusively on XsX over the last two years or so.

But the past winner is definitely Gamecube. I don't think I have played more than 10 hours on it. I also barely used my Ps2 back in the day.
 
Any portable console i bought ends up negleted. Thats why PSP was the last portable i bothered spend money on as i just end up buying less than 10 games for these consoles and spend majority of my time playing on a big screen.
 
I don't currently own it, but when I sold my Switch last summer it was basically collecting dust in the aftermath of getting a Steam Deck( and subsequently a Legion Go).

Also, I sold my Series X a year ago because it seemed like with the obvious push to third party, I wanted to get whatever I could for it before I couldn't trade it for a bag of peanuts. That money was put towards a PS5 slim, which I've actually used less than I was the XSX.
 
I don't think I've turned on my Series X since early last year...
 
Last system I neglected was Xbox 360 after they stop making games I want.....so I sold it off.

Currently mostly 50/50 playing both Switch 2 and PS5.
 
Deffo the Switch. Buy so many physical games for it but never us it. Or them.

Switch 2 still in its box too.

PC. 4090 / 4K monitor / 5900X but hardly game on it.
