What do you do with old consoles?

[Kennysplash]

As long as we can afford it, we make the decision to upgrade our console to the latest version when they are released. That leaves us with the older ones.
Do you keep them as retro collections? Do you sell them off at a lower price? Or do you give them out as gifts?

So far I have.....

• PS4
• Switch
• X0Box 360 (this is my hubby's)
• Wii U
• Wii
• GameCube

All of these are still hooked up to a tv somewhere in my house.  When Hogwarts Legacy came out last year, I started out playing it on the PS4 and then I played it some more on the Switch so those where the only two consoles that were used last year.  The others still work as far as I know.  I don't get ride of my consoles, I've kept them so far because they still work just fine.

I usually keep my older consoles as retro collections. They hold sentimental value and sometimes remind me of great gaming memories..

I hoard them. I still have every single console I have ever owned, the idea of selling any of them is really unthinkable to me.

I still have my old consoles because I like to play older games. I showcase them and sometimes I take a few out for a play with my friends.

Unfortunately, I just don't have the space to house that many consoles so I'll either sell my older console or give it to a friend or family member.

I pass my old consoles to the young ones or my other relatives and friends to enable them experience the gaming world. This is a good thing as seeing others get the same thrills that I did when I was getting into gaming.

I trade in old consoles to get money to be used in purchasing new ones or new games. It is an approach that helps fund my gaming habits.
