Just the other day I was going through some old junk and found my 1st gen Nintendo DS, that big clunky thing. I considered dumping it since I have a DS Lite but decided to keep it around.
In general I hold on to systems if I don't have another system that can play those games. I have a WiiU but kept the Wii since it can play GameCube games. Still have PS2, N64, etc.
I also keep them around because I have this dream of bringing my kids up on video games on generation at a time. You can emulate most of the 8 and 16 bit eras easily but not the more recent ones.
-
Don't really sell any game system unless I have several of them.
I might permanently lend them to family members, but I make it very clear that they're not theirs, and that they can't sell them or give them away to other people.
-
I still have them, from my 1987 NES to my PS4. I didn't keep my old gameboy systems from the original to advanced, but I have several SPs because people just felt like giving them to me. The only major system I used to have that I don't anymore would be my sega because there just wasn't enough fun games to keep it around.
-
I have my GBA SP, GB Pocket, GB Color, Game Cube, PS2, my PS3 just died, my 360 is the Star Wars edition so it is mine forever, and I have my PSP still, too.
-
Yeah, still play them sometimes too, except my Sega Genesis, it no longer works.
-
I wish I did...but I always traded in my older systems or sold them to get bigger and better. :/ Otherwise I'd have almost ever major console except the last 2 Playstations, and a Super Nintendo I never owned. Yeah, as a teenager, games added up in cost quickly, so to get the quick cash, EBgames or Gamestop was alwayys my source of trade-in salvation that helped me update my consoles and stick with the times.
-
My PS3 is still out and being used occasionally, but everything older than that has been shelved away in my closet.
I just emulate everything older than that anyway, even games I physically own. That's the only way to get them to look semi-decent on a modern tv. :p
-
I keep them. Only reason I boxed up the PSX was because the PS2 basically made it useless due to its backward compatibly to everything.
-
i totally keep my systems, except i believe my dad still has my Atari2600 in storage, and my Sega Genesis Tower of Power i stupidly sold when the PSX came out, i don't regret the PSX just regret letting go of my Genesis ToP... i'll never sell another system again, selling the Tower of Power is that big of a regret for me...
my Playststions are all hooked up and running from the PSone to the PS4 in a nice little row under my TV... of my Nintendo systems i only have the Wii hooked up because it plays GCN games as well and the SNES is having issues, think i need a new A/V cable for it, the NES is boxed up... i still have all my handhelds across my headboard in front of their charging cables that i have coming out from behind the headboard for convenience and cable maintenance...
yeah, i can't bring myself to sell a console or game ever again...
