Choose Four Consoles to Have the Largest Selection of Games
Choose Four Consoles to Have the Largest Selection of Games
So I'm reassessing my entertainment center since seeing the Video Game History Foundation's report. Since the study it's got me thinking, if you could pick any 4 consoles to have hooked up to your TV (4 becuase I've got 4 inputs to my TV) which would you pick and why? I will accept modded consoles as answers too.
You're viewing a single thread.
Quite a boring answer from me:
- Steam deck, which gives access to a large subset of PC games and also just about every console up to the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era plus the Wii via emulation (no jailbreaking required).
- Switch, which gives access to a lot of the best WiiU games as expanded ports plus some spruced up versions of Nintendo's back catalogue.
- PS5, which gives access to most of the best PS3 and PS4 games via PS+.
- Xbox Series S/X, which has backwards compatibility with the Xbox One and Xbox 360 for some (most?) games.
There will be some slight gaps in backwards compatibility/emulator compatibility for some games, but I suspect the biggest remaining gap will be PC games not capable of running on the Steam deck.
I do currently have a Switch hooked up, but I'm thinking of removing the dock since my partner exclusively plays it handheld and since getting my Steam Deck, I haven't touched the Switch except to dump games I pick up to emulate elsewhere. I played all of Tears of the Kingdom emulated, though that had to be played on my main rig since the Steam Deck would dip under 30fps too much for my taste.
