I don't even have last generation consoles. If I could afford it I would have every console.

18% isn't a lot plus, as others have noted, it could include PC gamers.

Personally, I don't buy in near the start of a generation most of the time plus I haven't been as into gaming in general and my backlog of games -- if I stacked all the cases together -- is probably three times larger than the TC, even if he turned out to be morbidly obese

If you're going by the recent poll.......what shocks me is how few people own just the XOne. I kinda had the feeling that people don't like it as much as the others, but I'd have thought more people would've reported having it as their sole console.

Backlogs from previous generations, PC / handheld gaming focus, lack of funds, parents unwilling to upgrade, probably other reasons they wouldn't own them.

We have a PS3, PS2 and an original Xbox.
All the games we play are for these systems.

This. Plus, I just built a new PC in November and upgraded the GPU recently.

I would have disagreed in the past, as early consoles had a ton of proprietary features... if you were law abiding.

But now since most games go PC, no reason to NOT

You have to have a computer. The cost to upgrade it so it will play games is cheaper than buying a console. Add to that the remarkable sales PC games get all the time, and it makes more sense financially than console gaming.

Shit is just expensive, imo. Especially since where I live, prices rarely drop and the second hand market is almost non existent.

Some of us are mostly portable gamers. My current generation systems are the Vita and 3DS.

I have most earlier home systems, just got myself a 360 for Christmas to complete Gen 7. I'll probably pick up some Gen 8 systems in ten years or so, there's no hurry.

That's becoming less and less true these days. Most major releases are multiplat, including a PC release. Exceptions exist, and some ports are less playable than others, but the trend is definitely toward there being very few library differences between non-Nintendo systems. Hence PC+Nintendo is the way to go.

Most ports are just made for console without any fixes when they port them. I'm still waiting for a Tales of Xillia PC release which will never happen.

Impossible, or people can't be bothered with your obscure nonsense? Because MGO2 was remade from the assets and got hacked up to play on custom firmware PS3.

Oh damn, guess I will never be able to play a perfectly emulated version of Tennis for Two.

Oh wait, neither can PS4 owners.
