Poll: On which current-gen gaming platforms do you play the most these days?

Easily PC, I've reached a critical mass of games on there where theres always some unplayed, awesome game to try (without having to spend any more money) if I get into a rut with whatever I'm playing.
The Switch is a distant, but still significant, second place because of its portability - not really for playing outside, but for playing in bed before nodding off (I'd say 60% PC, 30% Switch). It's usually an indie game powerhouse, but for the past few weeks its been Fire Emblem all day every day.
The PS4 Pro gets most of the remaining time - I'm still nursing DQB2 and Spiderman, and fire them up from time to time.

Gaming PC with Civ 6 but once The Last of Us Part 2, Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima come out Civ can have a wee rest. My PC probably can't run Cyberpunk 2077 either so my PS4 Pro will have to. So PC right now but once games I want start coming out my PS4 is going to cry for help.
I play on PS4 mostly.
Achievement systems are king to me. I play less on PC and Switch(even though I want to) because of a lack of a system. If I play Fire Emblem for 80 hours I want something to show for it! As for PC, the achievements on steam just lack the sound effects and oomph of Xbox and PS4. I don't know if that makes me shallow but it's how I feel.

Switch takes about 70% of my game time. Since I got GamePass, the One X takes about 20% (although my other half plays more on that - he's Forza obsessed). The PS4 has dropped off dramatically this year and only gets turned on for the occasional game of Tetris Effect, so that's about 7%, my gaming PC which I spent £3K on last year barely gets used.
PC > PS4 Pro >>>> Switch >>>>>>>> Xbox One X (which is not even hooked up anymore, but I keep it around since they go dirt cheap second hand so selling it is not an option)
I was just about all PS4 until Gamepass. Now I always power on my Xbox and see what I'm going to play next.
Nintendo Switch and it's not even close. After that PS4 for exclusives. But if a game has the chance of a Switch port I will wait. I have 4 kids and the Switch with it's "play anywhere for a few minutes" ability is the only way I can finish games these days.
I'm playing my switch for the first time this year with Fire Emblem. It's a professional dust collector 99% of the time. But it gets some exclusive RPGs that I do like to play, so I'll still use it. My PS4 Pro is the absolute lion's share of my gaming time. I will always buy any multi-plat there. Preference for controller, library, performance, multiplayer with friends, etc.
I only own my Switch for exclusive RPGs, I don't care about Nintendo's franchises other than like, Fire Emblem, I played Xenoblade 2, that sorta thing.

I've played more Xbox 1 this year then any other year thanks to Game Pass, but it trails behind my PS4 where I buy most of my games. The Switch on the other hand I haven't played since April. I do want to check out Fire Emblem Three Houses though and will try to find time before the end of the year.
Same here.
I do play most of the others, except for XB1, but nothing gets as much play time as my PS4.
PS4 Pro - 98%
Xbox One X - 1%
Switch - 1%
All of my friends play on PlayStation and I just prefer the ecosystem l.

Started PS4, switched to Xbox, may switch to PC with destiny cross save.
Come next gen home console it will depend on whose system makes third party games look the best.

Switch and PC pretty much tied. With PC Gamepass coming out maybe a bit more on PC in the last couple of months as I went through their initial offerings.
I had a PS4 but sold it since it got so little use, haven't had an Xbox One.

Split between Switch and PC. Moreso Switch recently due to Fire Emblem. I haven't touched a game on PS4 or Xbox in well over a year.
PC mostly then Switch is second followed by Wii U. I haven't touched my One X or PS4 Pro in months.

For me it's actually the opposite direction. Switch is currently collecting dust for a few months now.
Xbox One X.
Xbox has been my go to platform ever since I got a X360 Slim and Halo Reach for Christmas in 2010. Also, most of my friends are on Xbox and I prefer their ecosystem/services way more than Playstation's.

Usually it's on my PS4 Pro, but it's been all about the Switch ever since I started Fire Emblem Three Houses.
I prioritize my PC, then my Switch, then my Xbone. I don't own a PS4 and have very little experience with the PlayStation ecosystem in general.
PC, i play a lot of Console exclusives, but PC's library can get overwhelming with it's backlog, so it's hard to stay away from it for long, if there is an old game i feel like playing like Doom or Max Payne or whatever, it's probably on PC too. if PS4 had BC with 3 PS consoles, i might stick to PS4 a bit more than PC at times.
Im surprised to see PC that high on era, if publishers stopped delaying PC versions like RDR2 & CTR Nitro for no reason, it might take the no.1 spot.
