Since November 2013:

PS4
Switch
Upgraded my launch 3DS to a N3DS XL
Built my current PC in 2015 if that counts

Probably not buying another console until the Switch successor.

Wanted to buy a PS4 pro for, in part, a 4k Blu-ray player...then found out it didn't have one. Wound up buying a 4k player and never got around to buying a PS4...

Might get a switch for my wife...if she ever plays the WiiU games I bought for her.

Borrowed an OG PS4 from my brother when he got a Pro.

Bought a Switch for Zelda (and Xenoblade and eventually Fire Emblem). That's it.

None. A PC does everything, and exclusives are now fewer than ever. I used to buy most consoles when they offered unique experiences and exclusives were still commonplace. They no longer offer the former (save for Nintendo on occasion I suppose), and I'm glad the latter is no longer true. I'm much more likely to pickup a Sega Saturn title or one of Analogue's FPGA recreations than a modern console.

If mid November 2013 is the go-by:
  • Wii U
  • PS4 (the big launch model)
  • NEW 3DS (the lil guy to replace my OG 3DS)
  • PS Vita
  • Xbox One S
  • Switch
  • NEW 3DS XL (Samus Returns edition, because i thought it was cool)
  • PS4 Pro (500 Million Edition)
  • Xbox One X
I sold off the OG PS4 and Xbones for the beefier models, to be fair. I also built a PC around a GTX 1070 in this timeframe if that counts. I probably will end up getting another Switch at some point in the next 6 months to get some homebrew action going on my launch model.

I bought an Xbox One, PS4 and Xbox One X.

And Jesus, I thought I was fortunate enough to own what I would call multiple platforms. How are y'all buying all of these Xboxes.
