Personally, the PS3 is my favourite. The OG backwards compatible one. And the emulation capabilities are still awesome to me.

    Steam deck. Does it count? Plays everything you see here and more.

    Consoles are kinda meh. Can’t do much with them.

    That said I think the ps2 with network and hardrive, then the ps3, then the wii. I like them all for what they could be made to do and have one of each.

    But really: all superceded by the steam deck. (Ended up selling my PSP, no need for it anymore).

      Yeah I agree with this 100%

      I grew up with consoles. The PS1, N64, GBC, GameCube, PS2, GBA. As an adult I played the PS3 a lot and I ownd a Wii for parties, and went through a DS and 3DS for Pokémon. I was a late owner of a PS4, Switch, and eventually a PS5. I dabbled in PC gaming, both on a desktop with M+KB , with a controller, eventually streaming to my living room for couch gaming.

      The Steam Deck blows it all out of the water. It can do everything, anywhere, usually more ergonomically than the original. The only real drawback is the resolution, but that’s a perfectly fine trade-off most of the time.
