purely time? most likely PC if I add up my PC games.

I played a lot more stuff on Switch, but for example, FF14 on PC was 600+ hours. Monster Train on PC was 150+ hours, Shadowlands is going on...I mean I don't even know, its all I've played the last 2 months.

so just purely time played its probably PC.

Had to select PC because PCVR was not an option.

I'm sure I don't game anywhere near as often as people here but when I do game, I basically keep it exclusive to VR.

Playing VTOL:VR right now which is amazing.

Definitely PS4, but if we count hours per day it's the PS5. I've been playing it a few hours every day since it's been out.

PC > Switch (very close, might be the other way around) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3DS

Didn't touch a single other console.

I spent about 300 hours on Persona 5 Royal alone so PS4 destroyed everything else this year.

Xbox One X > PC > PS4 Pro > XSX > PS5

My One X was my go-to console for multiplats, so I spent the majority of my time on it. Mostly used my PS4 for exclusives after about 2016.

Played some next-gen multiplats on my XSX. Only really played Miles Morales and a bit of Astro Bot on my PS5 so far.

I got an Xbox One X before the release of the XSX and played that the most this year thanks to the big upgrade in a lot of the Multi-plat titles I had waiting there. Plenty of PS4 as well though. Switch was definitely my least played though as I wasn't doing much traveling last year.

PS5. This whole year I haven't played many games at all. I've just been caught up in the next-gen hype and discussion, so getting the PS5 has got me back into playing, and I've been having a blast.

Mostly my Xbox One (X) this last year.

It's weird how the older I get, the more I appreciate PC gaming... yet the less I actually play on my PC. The last game I actually finished on PC was Doom 4 (2016). I generally don't finish games on PC these days. I'll just play them a while, but only like parts I like. I wonder why that is.

Xbox One X. The Switch has been great for short bursts of gaming, but I've been catching up on last gen's biggest and best-looking games on the XB1X. Forza Horizon 4, AC Odyssey, and MH World Iceborne in particular have been huge time sinks.

Switch > PS4 Pro > PC > Xbox One X > PS5 > Xbox Series X

... estimated, anyway. I haven't totaled playtimes at all, just vaguely recalling which and how many games I played on each.

Of the platforms still getting active use, its the PC by far (as usual). I wanna say 75% of my total playtime was on there?

Switch and PS4 Pro are pretty neck and neck here, as NSW had Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Animal Crossing while PS4 had TLOU2, Genshin Impact, Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels.

The Series X brings up the rear, although I've been playing the shit out of it (only owned it for a couple weeks). I can easily see it taking second place in my personal 2021 usage rankings, great system.

Got a PS4 Pro right before The Last Of Us: Part II came out. Got a PSVR at the same time and bought a bunch of games for that. And now I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077. I'd guess several hundred hours spent playing all those games.

On PC I played Resident Evil 3 remake and that's about it.

And on Switch (which I got last Christmas) I mostly just played Mario Odyssey.

PC but PS4 is unusually close because of Persona 5 Royal and Last of Us II.

PS4 by far.
XB1 and Switch were close, as done a couple of Game Pass months, playing games I was on the fence about. Probably go with Switch as it's easier to track 75 hours in BoTW, 60 in Pokemon Sword, 40 in Animal Crossing and 30 hours in Hades. Whereas I played probably 10 or so games on Xbox, but dropped some and none of them were super long, like Doom Eternal was probably the longest.

Played a little on PC, but lockdown cut me off from it due to it being in a different house and was needed there more, I really want to play Alyx too, but will have to wait.

No new gen systems.

Probably Switch due to my massive Animal Crossing and Ring Fit times, but it feels like I played more PS4 even though I doubt that's true.

I never would have guessed this a year ago, but probably my Switch due single handedly to Animal Crossing. It's a toss up between that and my PS4, I guess.

I probably put twice as many hours into Animal Crossing in 2020 than I did into my Switch as a whole since having it from Summer 2017.

I played several thousand hours on my ps4 this year. I don't have a PC to play on, and my switch hasn'tbeen turned on since fire emblem last year.

Since I got my ps5 delivered, I've shifted all my active gaming of ps4 stuff to that system while I wait for the newer titles I'm most excited to release, but I also have like 5 regular ps4 jrpgs ordered for next year, so I'm good regardless.

Honestly this was s pretty poor year for me in terms of playtime. But, the 'new gen' feel has kicked it up a notch and I've played more in the last month and a half than I have all year.

Not sure about time, because I play Warzone on my PS4, but the platform I played the most games was my Xbox One for sure

January - October: PC>PS4>XBO
November - December: XSX>PS5>PC

Shiny new thing syndrome? Or a long-term shift in my gaming habits? We'll see.

Probably PC, as I put in a lot of time into Divinity Original Sin 2, SWTOR, and FFXIV. Also played some shorter games as well.
I think Switch isn't too far behind. I played through all of DQ11S and about half of Fire Emblem Three Houses (played the rest of it in 2019) along with some shorter games.
PS4 would be third for me. Don't think I played much more than FFVII Remake and Last of Us Part 2, though those were decently long games as well in their own right.

At first I was like PC for sure but then on PS4 I played Persona 5 Royal (about 50 hours in), FFVII Remake (beat), TLOU2 (beat), Ghost of Tsushima (dropped) while on PC I only really played Zero no Kiseki (beat) and currently a lot of Genshin Impact so I'm not actually sure. Have a PS5 but barely touched it outside of Astrobot.

PS4.

I went from PS2, to Ps3 from 08 to 10, then heavy PC till about 2014/5 ( heh, when I met my now wife I pretty much stopped gaming for a bit) and now only PS4, mainly for the convenience.
