Switch hands down. Bought it for my son for xmas but he hasn't touched it. Played mario kart like 10 times and that's it. Maybe when I get him hyrule warriors and splatoon he will get into more. Played the shit out of those on Wii u. Fortnight on ps4 has pretty much dominated his gaming time, though.
Right now, PS4 Pro. Still relatively new, got it in May, but have powered it on like twice. Had a weird bug in God of War where the sound dialog didn't work, and then didn't pick the game back up, and I've been distracted with other stuff.
PSVR. While there are some great games and experiences, I'm lazy, and it's too much trouble to set up for my lazy bones.
Was either my PSP or GBA. For PSP I only played Before Crisis, Birth By Sleep, and a handful of one off sessions (Sonic Rivals, Mega Man X Hunter, etc.)
My GBA suffered from me having emulation of all new games on my computer. I probably only played one or two full games on the actual hardware.

XBOX One. I bought the OG, S and X, all at launch, and barely used any of them.
Also the NES and SNES Classic Minis. Played them for a few minutes each and put them back in the box.

Wii U by far. barely touched it. Just Hyrule Warriors, Tropical Freeze, and The Wonderful 101.
Next is 3DS. Only played 6 games on it, though I own 12. I always felt something was off about it. It's the same basic shape as the DS Lite, but for some reason it never feels as good playing on it, so I always use my Lite instead of backwards compat on the 3DS. Never played an XL. On the whole, I'm glad it's almost done. I'm over these super low res 3D games.
Next is the Vita. Which is a shame cause I love the system, but it just didn't get the support. I only ended up playing through maybe 8 games on it. I do have a good number of PS4 games that have Vita versions though, so the practice of making the games available for console too contributes to me not touching it.
It sucks how sparse this gen's portables are, when I had a good 25 games on both the DS and PSP.

Switch, played Mario Kart for about 20 min played Zelda about an hour maybe 2 and played the first fight in the second octopath demo, don't regret buying it though because my little sister uses it all the time to play Mario kart with her friends and is excited for smash.
Probably the Wii U. I still have a lot of hours in it but the cost of games definitely left it in the lower end of the scale.
Dreamcast.
My brother and I, foolish children we were, asked our parents to buy it for us not long after Sega discontinued it, and we only got two games for the damn thing. Sonic Adventure and Sonic Shuffle.

Xbox One. It's just a stand for my monitor right now. It sucks. I really hate it, it's gigantic, clunky and slow
I last played it when they released the JP version of Dark Souls 3 early there. Before that was Halo 5. I should really sell it

Xbox One.
Bought it for Sunset Overdrive, Tomb Raider and Halo MCC, Played Sunset Overdrive then pre-ordered MCC, but I never even downloaded the game because of all the negative reviews, I was waiting for patches that never came. After buying and finishing Tomb Raider I never touched the console again.
I essentially played 2 games on it.

Technically the Wii.
I bought one solely to play Xenoblade but never got around to it until after the Wii U came out. By that point I decided I might as well just play it on the Wii U and ended up selling the original Wii without ever playing a game on it.
Honorable mention, Xbone X - played gears 4 on it and haven't touched it since.

Does Kinect count? I had one with my 360 and I guess launch XBO and never really used it (well, messed with it once with family on 360 I guess).
I had this vague idea I wanted to get in shape using the fitness games so I'd hook it up oneday, but I never did. Also oneday realized I could just follow along to youtube fitness videos for basically the same experience.
If we're talking about least played but owned past consoles, well, N64, Jaguar, Dreamcast, were all pretty terrible consoles IMO and I owned them all as my only console at one point or another. N64 I distinctly remember incredibly long, agonizing software droughts early on (and when some big critically acclaimed game like waverace came along to break the drought, I found it not fun anyway) I'm sure somebody's gonna get mad at me over The Dreamcast.

Wii U, no contest. I played the 12 or so games I own for it, some Gamecube stuff via homebrew and that's it... Not really a waste of money (though the Switch ports are putting that in a new perspective) but pretty disappointing all the same.
Oh well at least it had TW101 and Splatoon (which admittedly I sinked a lot of hours into, same with Smash).

Peace Walker is arguably the greatest game on the PSP. Insane production values, it truly pushed the system to it's limits in every way.
Kinda jealous cause I loved my virtual boy when I was a kid and mine's in pretty bad shape (the stand is broken so i'd have to hold it up against my head lol). You should try Wario Land and Galactic Pinball, they are legitimately good games. Maybe pop like 2 advil first though cause that shit gives me a headache
I have a Vita...it's under the coffee table. I keep it because LBP and Sly Cooper. There are a few other games I need to finish too,
Wii I never played it at all. Just used the Wii U

My Xbox One by far. I haven't touched it since Tomb Raider.
Having a PS4 and s PC kinda invalidates having an Xbox One outside of Halo.

New 3DS XL. Still haven't cracked Metroid: Samus Returns and Majora's Mask 3D. I probably should have just stuck with the 3DS XL. Second is the Switch. I don't regret buying it and I did get somewhere around 120 hours in BoTW. It gets a lot less use than the PS4. I do have Bayonetta 2 coming from Gamefly, so there's that.
My PC, probably followed by N64, SNES, and Genesis as a kid. More recently, almost exclusively playing my Switch.
Ordered by least played on: 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PSP, Vita. My SNES classic is still sealed from last year. I'm seeing a pattern here...
