In my case, the OG Xbox. The first console I got, so definitely nostalgia tinted feeling. Fable, Dead or Alive and Star Wars Jedi Outcast are probably my most played games on that platform.

Xbox 360. MW2 is actually still alive on there and I enjoy dipping in for a few games. It’s not super easy to get a game there is a process to make it work but it can be done.
I wish I could get out my SNES more but I’m lacking a CRT right now. I get an urge to play DK Country 1-3 sometimes and I can’t deal with the input lag on the LCD panels.
I often play on the Wii with my family. The joy cons on the switch are too small and have too many buttons for my (grand)parents to push. They keep pressing the home button accidentally.
I fired up my XBox 360 last year to get a fix of Beatles Rock Band. It’s criminal that that game isn’t available on modern platforms! Also regretting not having purchased more of its DLC when it was still available.
A while back I went out of my way to acquire some used Xbox 360 games and fire up the old beast. I actually played Red Dead Redemption for the first time about a year ago. Some of those games I straight up haven’t touched, because I no longer have said console set up (and have been foraying into console emulation, which is constantly getting better)
My N64 to remind myself how amazing Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart and Army Men: Sarges Heroes are, especially for when they were released. I also have a modded XBox which has 20+ games on it and some older films on it. Playing modded Halo is always a grand ol’ time and Fuzion Frenzy is a stroll down memory lane for me.
My old N64 i got as a kid is still kickin and i play it from time to time as well. Even have it plugged into an old 19" CRT TV for maximum nostalgia (i tried plugging it into a modern flat screen some years ago and it did NOT look right).
My poor N64 has been sitting in a plastic box for like 10 years. Everytime I feel the itch to use it, I fire up an emulator instead. I’ve thought about getting a CRT TV specifically for party games, but I don’t really have the space.
My PS3 since not all games got a remaster and not all of them run well on emulators.
I love firing up a run of Starfox 64 from time to time. The bite size replayability makes it perfect.
My play preference generally goes: PSP or PS Vita > Switch Lite or Switch > Steam Deck > Gaming PC.
My Jasper Xbox 360. Loud as hell, but never RROD’d. So many great AAA titles, personal favorites are definitely Halo 3 and 4, GTA 4, Far Cry 3. So many other good ones too but those come to mind immediately. I’ve recommended the 360 to many friends looking for a cheap way to spend time. Games are cheap, consoles are cheap, etc.
My PS Vita. Launch edition with AT&T 3G (that I never used), and have it jailbroken. 11 years old and still goin strong. It pays to take care of what you own!
Not super old, but my homebrew 3DS gets a ton of usage. A while back I installed every ROM I could want onto an SD card, which has brought years of entertainment.
It’s been 11 years since released, a whole 4 years more than from the original DS to 3DS releases. I’d call that old haha.
It’s been that long already?! I guess my age is showing, cause to me “old” is anything pre PS1
Oh same, I knew you’d get a kick out of that lol
Sega Saturn. I have a fenrir ODE and with that i’ve been able to play the games I had when I was younger and the ones that cost more than I am willing to pay. Fantastic console.
I have 2 completely modded OG Xbox and 360 for when I want to play any game on those consoles. It’s been nice to go back an play games like FF13 and its sequals
