Answer: A Windows PC + all of the consoles + all of the handhelds + both major mobile device brands.

It just depends on how much you're willing to sell your soul... in order to amuse yourself.

I have a PS5, but Sony has begun releasing their most popular games on windows as well. I run it would be prudent to build a nice gaming PC, even if you shove it in a TV cabinet and connect a controller to it for couch gaming. If you’re patient like me, you not only get a better gaming experience, but a broader one.

Lmao yes but if you could only have one, a Windows PC has far more access in terms of video games.

So if a console came out next year that also exceeded Windows in the quantity of games, you which ditch your gaming PC and switch over to New Console™ in a heartbeat?

Lol no, I'd install a New Console emulator on my PC, of course

The Switch is the only previous gen console we have an emulator for

Good luck using one for a future gen

Don't need to emulate current gen or last gen. Those games all came out on steam lmao

How did you get to my comment without reading the chain?

It's not just quantity, it's also quality and variety. A million gacha games are useless to me.

I'm hearing the word "emulation" floating on the air. That's already PC + most consoles and even Android. It wouldn't surprise me if someone out there has done something about emulating iOS but I've never taken enough interest to know.
