The gaming device you own and have used the least

I would have to say atm, my NES classic. There aren't just a ton of NES games I really wanted to go through again, and with the SNES classic out now, I much prefer the games on the SNES over the NES. Not to say I don't use it at all, but it by far has gotten the least use in my house out of the many handhelds/consoles I have.
My Switch, definitely.
Haven't used since I finished Breath of the Wild. In planning on turning it into a homebrew machine, though.

Hmm, at the moment? Sadly my Xbox One. I bought it on launch, not really thinking that Play Anywhere was going to be a thing. Following that I play all those titles on my PC instead. Course I'm happier for it, I prefer playing on my PC really, just a shame I bought the Xbox before that change happened. xD
SNES Classic. Played a bit of SMW when it came out, then nothing. I bought it mainly to play Yoshi's Island, maybe someday I'll get to that. For bigger systems, in recent memory definitely the 3DS. One reason is portability is less of a factor for me, while in my student years I got a lot of playtime on my DS on the train. On the other hand though, I feel like the lineup is also less diverse and not as great as the DS or GBA before it.
I feel bad about it, but my Neo Geo Pocket Color. I got it at a thrift store many years ago with no game, bought a couple cheap games but they arent really anything that would make me want to dig it out and put batteries in to play. Its so much easier to get that taste by firing up an emulator.
Oddly, my ps4. I have a lot of games to get for it eventually, but at the moment it's a dedicated Netflix/Twitch/WWENetwork box. I'm going to try and get back into Warframe, but that's about it for the near future. I just find the mobility of my Switch makes me use it more.
I have a ton of systems that I dont use at all.. so it makes no sense to actually count them.
Of the systems I use it probably goes something like this
Switch -> PC -> NES -> SNES - > Wii U -> PS4
My PS4 has become pretty redundant since the Switch released.. It was my most played before that. I've beaten 3 games since I believe. Have bought 4 games for it this year though! Still in the plastic covers sadly :S should have waited.. made a promise to myself to at least play through one of them during my summer vacation ( still 7 weeks to go! ;) )

I bought a new PSP for Peace Walker. I had an old one, but I upgraded to a new model for that game. That was a mistake.
Xbox One X.
I did play my Xbox One quite a bit, but nothing since the X has released really interested me. My own fault, I should have waited.

I guess the Playstation TV, I only got it for P4 Golden, and there's only so many times I can play that. Then the Switch, but maybe that will change on Friday.
PS4: Persona 5 uber completed, then finished a couple exclusives and played Siege a fair bit, now it's dusty because I was only using it for multimedia...
[Pretty sure I finished and played more games on my Vita, Wii U - considering BotW, Bayo, Mario, Tokyo Mirage... - and Switch]

Wii U. Played it for maybe 100 hours across its lifetime, which is significantly less than any other device I have.
Current gen, among my consoles, the Switch. Lived Mario Odyssey and Rabbids, like FE Warriors, but haven't bought anything else for it. Should easily surpass the Wii U in the next year though.
Of all my gaming devices in general, probably my Oculus Rift. VR doesn't lend itself to long sessions and before I got Lasik I had to wear contacts that my eyes rejected after an hour or two. Also, it gets HOT in that thing. Every minute in VR is fantastic, though, and despite my having used it for less hours than my Switch or Wii U, the time I have used it feels more valuable to me than either, so far. I'll cross that threshold sooner or later, though, and the Wii U will likely remain my worst gaming purchase ever.

I have a 360 that I've never used even once. An old colleague moved it of the country and left it to me, so I just put it away.
Current gen, I use all my consoles, but i mainly use the Xbox for media and EA Access.

Easily the Switch.
Breath of the Wild is the only game I got engrossed in. Amazing experience for a long time fan.
I have Ikaruga (which I pretty much buy on everything). Will get Mario Odyessy eventually, but there is so little content to care about that isn't better elsewhere / that I already own on other platforms.
Portability as an argument only works to an extent. 9/10 times I am not really playing "everywhere", but mostly at home or on the train for long journeys only. This is not enough to justify Switch usage when I end up using Link far more for convenience sake
I've considered selling, but I will get Toad and Metroid Prime 4. After that I would reconsider.
Certainly not a complete waste of money, but Nintendo are not competitive for my tastes. The fact it hasn't been used in the last month is telling

PSP and Gamegear. Learned a while ago mobile gaming wasn't for me even though I really did like the GG. This is why I'm going to hold off on Switch..
This gen I didn't put enough time into PS4 or XB1 to warrant the money spent (aside from 4k player). PC takes up all my time.

That's a shame, OP. PSP, Wii and DS are all great systems. To each their own, though.
I bought a PSP solely for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and the only other thing I ever played on it was Phantasy Star Portable.
2DS. I bought it mostly for Phoenix Wright: Spirit of Justice. Pocket Card Jockey and Rhythm Heaven Megamix were also fun for a while. After that, I haven't used my 2DS much, maybe because I prefer playing on my 50" tv instead of 2DS's tiny screens.
Seems like it's mostly Switch so far.
This made me think it'd be interesting if companies released game time usage stats. Imo these are more relevant to us than how many systems and games were sold, as many of them can be just collecting dust mostly. It would show the true attach rate.

My Switch, so far I've only bought BoTW(Finished twice), Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Finished twice), Super Mario Oddysey (Finished once) and that's it. Will see some use soon with Octopath Traveller and later the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC.
Do you like shmups?
There's an upcoming homebrew one and it's supposed to get a demo in the near future.
Probably the Game Boy Micro. I couldn't resist the Famicom edition one when it was heavily discounted.
The PSP would be a close second. Good system and I have a bunch of games for it, but it never went prime time as far as my portable gaming habits went.

Sega Saturn: I think I've loaded up Legend of Oasis and Robo Pit once each and that was it. Never could pull the trigger on getting any other games for it...
This gen PS4, only Time I've used it this year so far is for God of War(I'll use it again for Spider-man for sure). It's mainly due to the fact it's in the living room, so while everyone is watching TV it's easier to use my switch. Also we don't really use it as a media player either, we use Apple TV for Netflix and movies.
Also I've been kinda burnt out on current third party big AAA titles this gen, only one I got into was Overwatch which is my most played at about 60 hours (Compared to the Swicth where I have Zelda and Mario Kart at both over 100 hours.) Also I'm in the small group of people that haven't loved PS4s first party output but that might be because I'm getting burned out on long story driven games.
This is the least played PS console I've owned. I was young when I had PS1 and PS2 so they got plenty of use, PS3 I spent a tonne of time in Skyrim, the Arkham games and a Black Ops (when I was still into CoD lol. And the Vita even had P4G and I played FFX/X-2 on it. This is the first time I've probably thought about skipping a plaustation console with PS5 (hopefully they win me back with some awesome games).
