but im not married and didnt had any kids, im sure i would have a few consoles otherwise, my parents gave me everything i wanted so i intend to extend the courtesy to my son(s) when the time comes, if they want to be peasants, oh what the hell.
I love PC gaming as much as the next guy, but you're doing yourself a disservice by not checking out the exclusives on Sony and Nintendo consoles. Most of my absolute favorite games are on their platforms only. But I also have had a preference for single player, story-rich, and exploration games as well for the past several years. If you're mostly into online FPS games or something, then I can see the lack of appeal for consoles.
Just my opinion of course, but I think Sony's exclusives are better than Nintendo's at the moment. Uncharted, Horizon, Nioh, Bloodborne, Days Gone, etc.
I'd give up my Switch before I'd give up my PS4.
The thread isn't labeled as such, but I get a really good PC+Nintendo feel from this thread overall. That covers most ground really well, though I will admit there are a small handful of exclusives on the PS4 that I find somewhat appealing. Not enough of them to buy another one though, and I don't really want to spend extended periods playing games in my son's room

Your PC monitor not have HDMI? That's where I play my consoles anyways; on my PC monitor and my 5.1 sound system or with headphones. I definitely prefer it over a larger TV in the living room and sitting further away anyways.
There's actually a lot of nice exclusives on PS4 though worth checking out though; Until Dawn (if you like that horror genre of movies/games), Horizon: Zero Dawn, Persona 5, the Uncharted series (1-3 collection, 4, and upcoming Lost Legacy), The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank, and Nioh. I've played all of those except for Persona 5 and Nioh, but Naughty Dog has made my favorite games of all time (across any platform) with the Uncharted Series and The Last of Us. Their games alone are worth the price of the console, IMO.
It's not a question of connectivity. I have a TV or monitor (some cases multiple) in just about every room of the house. I've got nearly as many PCs, Nintendo consoles all over the place, portables, laptops, etc. My house is lousy with gaming technology. Like I mentioned though, I have a backlog of PC games, many of them similar to some of the exclusives that I'd actually want to play on the PS4. It's not that I don't want to play those, it's just that I'd prioritize the PC ones first anyway, so the likelihood that I'd get to those any time soon is very low. I may end up grabbing a PS4Pro at some point down the road if I experience a lull in the types of games I like to play. Right now though, I am absolutely SPOILED for content, and don't have enough gaming hours in a day to expand further. PC + Nintendo covers all of the bases. While it would be nice to expand outward a bit more and play some of those PS4-only games, it will have to be later when I'm starving for content (which does happen every-so-often). I suppose I could always borrow my son's when it's not in heavy use, but he also uses it to watch TV, so that's fairly rare.
I haven't mentioned the XB platform, because there's actually zero content on it that I have any interest in that's not already on the PC. I'm actually pretty surprised by this, because in the OXB and X360 days, there was always SOMETHING that I wanted to play, but couldn't without picking one up. Right now though, there is ZERO on it that I would even give a second look (aside from some multi-platform games...) If I didn't have PCs, then maybe it would be slightly more attractive as a platform.
Yup, same here. Pretty much the only reason to own a Switch right now is for Zelda and maybe Mario Kart. But I'm hoping this time next year they will have a lot more 1st party titles and at least rolled out Virtual Console for it.
I have no preference on platform when it comes to gaming.
Well, I could ALMOST say that. I'll game on anything you put in front of me, if it's a good game. That said, I do actually prefer some platforms to others in general, and specifically some types of games that obviously work better using the available control methods for the system. (Shooters with M+KB for example...) I'll also admit that a modicum of sentimentality comes into it too. I do have a soft-spot for certain classic (and even some modern) systems. TurboGrafx/PCEngine for one example.
A gamer likes to play games and one single platform shouldn't define that.
The last console I owned was a Super Nintendo.

They haven't managed to move the needle for me in over twenty years.
Ditto. Wanna know what was one of my first SNES games? Crappiest port ever.
Think I finally went PC the following year. X-Wing pushed me off the fence.

You ever play WarpSpeed? One of the best space flight games ever made, in my opinion. I would lose 4-6 hours at a time while playing this as a kid.

Probably because you haven't really considered them. Of course if you keep your blinders on your head, then your "needle" will never move..
And I never thought I was missing anything not playing console exclusives like Halo, Gears, The Last of Us, Uncharted etc. The only console-exclusive game that I wished I could've played was Red Dead Redemption. One title in 30+ years of gaming.
That's the point I was making. If you've actually considered (researched) those games, <SNIP>
