How many gaming devices do you own?

[freelancermaria]

I currently own a gaming device that features some of the best classic games from the 90s and 2000s. It was a present to me. I used to have a Sony PSP, but I decided to sell it because of a lack of finances when I got hospitalized. I do not have plans to buy a new gaming device anytime soon since I rarely play these days. If I want to play, I use my gaming device and tablet. How many gaming devices do you currently own?

I am currently using my smartphone for gaming, I won't really call it a gaming device because the processor is just to low to run most of these modern games.

I have 3 smartphones. One is bad but it still run game, second is older but still good and run smoothly everything. Third is best and I use it for all purposes including gaming.

Same here; my smartphone is not meant for heavy gaming, but it is fine by me. There are many great Android phones for avid gamers out there. However, there is no need for me to buy one since I do not play online that much.

No, there is none at home. We are all busy people. There is no time for games. If I want to play, I will use my mobile phone. But it rarely happens to me. I better read books.

That's cool though. I enjoy gaming but due to work I don't always have the free time to play them as often as I would have liked.

I have practically never owned any video game console before. This is also because I previously owned a PC and smartphone that already satisfied me in the gaming field. But now unfortunately for legislative reasons I do not live in my house and my mobile device has also been confiscated. However my mother to help me live a little better in the structure where I am, gave me the PS VITA. This console however does not seem to be very popular. Does anyone here know it?

I have only one gaming device which is my mobile phone.

But what do you mean by devices? Just mobile phones? Because if so, I have three phones, but I only use one of them for gaming. I use the rest for other purposes.

From what I know and from what I read in this thread it seems that nowadays people mainly use mobile devices to play video games. Maybe because this is a device that everyone has and uses it for multiple functions. However, perhaps video game consoles such as the Playstation, I think are mostly used by teenagers.

It's true, but it's because they are cheaper and more accessible for most people in the world, plus everyone needs a mobile phone and generally mobile phones today have the necessary resources to run games, even if at an acceptable quality, but as I said, I play on a PC, I love playing on a PC in the comfort of my home.

In fact, as you said, it is a good thing to play with the PC in the comfort of your home. But the PC is a device that is at home and many people for various reasons spend most of their time away from home. This is still something to take into consideration.

Yes, that's the good thing about mobile, you can play anywhere, because for example you can buy a netbook, or a notebook, or a tablet or a mini PC to play, but of course the comfort and the enormous utility that playing on mobile gives is very different, you can do all your necessary actions there.

In fact, with medium-high quality mobile phones, it is also possible to play video games at high resolution. But after all, we also take into account the fact that the size of a mobile device screen is still smaller than a classic PC monitor.

Yes, that's true, but it's like you say, even though you can play on a mobile phone, the mobile screen is usually small and it's stressful and annoying to play on something so small. For me, it will always be best to play on a PC.

I think the same way about this, after all I belong to the generation when cell phones didn't even exist and at home in the 80s/90s I started playing with computers Commodore 64, AMIGA and later PC.

We think the same, but I started with a PC that had Windows 98. I remember when games came on floppy disks. To think that at that time it was completely crazy, and today you download them from the Internet, install them, and that's it, solved.

In fact, I bought my first PC in 1996 when the operating system was Windows 95. I had both floppy disk and CDROM drives. I managed to get an internet connection only in the year 2000, obviously with the slowness with which it worked at the time. I'm sure you will surely remember...

I was given my first PC in the 2000s when I was a child, then I got the Super NES, then I had the Sega and so on, approximately by the year 2005 I was able to buy a PC with my own money as I was older, it wasn't the best but it supported recent games from that year.
