I don't have a favourite console.

It's true. I don't have a favourite console.

Since I was a kid, I never really separated my time on each console I owned, and I still don't. I tend to fixate on one console and play it everyday for a good few months, then go off that console and go onto another console. I am currently on my "off" PlayStation stage as there is no games out at the moment holding my interest. But I'm currently fixed on playing my Nintendo Switch or Nintendo 3DS. But when Crash Bandicoot comes out the end of next week, the chances are the Switch and 3DS will be put back on hold and I'll be on the PS4 again.

My parents first got me a Gameboy Advance SP for one of my birthdays. I was HOOKED on that machine, constantly playing Pokemon. Then I remember my dad getting and Xbox 360. After a few months, I wanted one, so I got a cheap second hand one. Once I had an Xbox, the SP got put in a draw. Then the DS came out. and so on and one.

I have sold so many consoles in the past because I "stopped" playing them, but give it a few months or years and I'll want that console back. I have done this 2, maybe 3 times with the Nintendo 3DS! I got rid of my Gameboy SP when I got my first DS. 3 years ago I bought myself a Gameboy Colour and Gameboy SP again. All be it I haven't played them in a good year or so, BUT I have them again, and this time I am not selling them. (although, they could be worth a bit of money now!)

Turns out this is a factor of my Dyspraxia and I've been this way ever since a baby. I would play with just one thing, until I was bored of it and moved on. There is so many parts of me that I never realised is apart of Dyspraxia. I always just thought there was something wrong with me, not making me like things after a few months

So because of this, I technically don't have a favourite because I swap and change so much. I will say my most owned and probably oldest console is 3DS; all be it this is my 3rd one, BUT I've had a DS since the DS Lite came out.
