Those of you that went from console to PC

Did you keep your console systems? If you sold them, why did you?
Considering making the switch, but I’m unsure.

Keep them. Always.

I didn't. I made the switch just before a new console launch. Sure, I've missed a handful of exclusives, but that wasn't reason enough for me to stick with console gaming.

Swapped 2 months ago. Kept my console because I will still play from time to time. PC has my heart now though.

I’ve got a PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and a PS classic.
I play what I want when I want dammit.

I kept my PS4 and Xbox One X but haven't touched them since I got the PC. Other than sitting on the couch playing, I really think the PC is the better option all around.

I always keep mine, although I am far less attached to really anything beyond the PS2 generation. I think the PS4 will be the last console I ever buy that isn't Nintendo. Console exclusives are going to continue to dwindle.
I just hope there aren't any Fromsoft exclusives on PS5. I'll have to cuck out at that point.

My boy keeps hitting me up for a gaming PC instead of a next gen console. I don't even know where to begin. I've always had a console.
How much should a pre-built capable gaming PC cost?

Absolutely, all of my kids play games so it's nice to have something available.
Current roster: PS4, PS3, Xbox Series X, Xbox One S, Xbox One (OG), Xbox 360, Wii, Switch and Oculus Quest II.

It's a steep investment but you can start out with something like this: CyberPower PC
I bought a gaming PC equipped with a RTX 2080 for my kids but it is complete overkill considering they use it to play Roblox.

I sure as hell keep all mine. I thought about giving myself a $5000 - $7500 build budget last year, but ultimately decided against it.
No games I really care to play, and I dont enjoy playing games with lots of other people so all that build would be collecting dust as opposed to a next generation console, at only $600 which i will use to play 7 to 10 different games a year and use it also as a Netflix, prime, hulu, tubi, etc type of hub used by the household

I feel like all the games I play on Xbox I can play on PC. Plus, I haven’t turned on the PlayStation to play in 18 months...a lot of the games are still in the cellophane wrapper.
Gotta love being an adult. You have the $$ to do what you want, but not the time.
My biggest worry is the 1 time/year I have a friend over we can’t play Madden.

This is the reason i am considering just switching back to console for gaming. If most games next gen keep "performance mode" to ~1440p and 60fps, I'm pretty happy to play. My PC can't do that with my i5-6500k and GTX1070. I was planning to upgrade my PC this year but I got a PS5 and it feels like with the 4-6 hours a week I get to play, it's hard to justify the build cost of a PC until next gen consoles have a hard time with their performance modes.
FFXV is god damn beautiful in performance mode.

This is where I'm at. Thinking of just getting an Xbox instead of upgrading my PC. I priced out a new rig and hardware prices are pretty stupid at the moment. For the few hours I get a week, $500 for a new Xbox is a lot better deal.

Kept my ps4 for MLB The Show. Hoping it comes to PC this year though. I was super hesitant to make the switch to PC, but I'm glad I did.

I've kept all my old systems. The only ones I ever pulled out the closet are the Ps2 and snes. And the ps3 as a bluray player

I kept them. Why not, it's not like you're getting more than a 100 for an old system and I'll be able to blow my kids minds in the future.

This is why I only have a switch for now. I can take it with me on road trips for work but I'm usually too tired

I kept mine but it's collecting dust

I read that it is. MLB is the only reason I initially bought a PS4. I’ve got 8 games for it and 6/8 are still in the wrapper.
Do y’all use your gaming PC for things other than gaming?
