I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.

To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them

Mine play the heck out of the Wii U and the DS. I still am occasionally acquiring and playing a new Vita game almost yearly.

I now play my Steam Deck most of the time and the PS5 hardly gets touched.

The Wii U is the last console i bought and i still think it's such a great concept that failed for no real reason. Playing a game on the tv and having the mini map on the controller screen for example is so cool. They could've made so many completely different and new games. But i think it's just that no one really cared

I think in that case Nintendo was more a victim of its own success and they released the console a little too early. Everyone was still playing wiis back then and there were still so many great games coming out on the Wii.
