an anonymous poll won't really show anything since you have a disclaimer of showing who has the most fans in the OP.
All trolls will vote the system they don't like to sabotage the results.
Only a vote by post would be valid and known users who side with one platform historically can be ruled out if they vote for another platform

Since you can vote multiple options it'll work itself out. More people will vote their preferences than trolls doing the opposite.
lol i chose PS instead of PC accidentally. i failed.
You didn't fail, that was just your sub-conscience telling you what you really want most.
maybe ;D

Every gen tells a new story to me.
3rd gen - Nintendo
4th gen - Sega = Nintendo
5th gen - Sony
6th gen - MS = Sony
7th gen - MS
8th gen - Sony
yeah, all while PC is looking down and laughing at these peasants fight each other.*
*) i like console gaming too
PC . Left console gaming a long time ago . I loved it back then but it was a lot different than what it is today .
PC will always be my main gaming system. The day consoles come even close is the day consoles turned into PCs. I will be buying a PS4 later down the road when it has enough exclusives that I care about to warrant a purchase.

Why would anyone be that immature?
Oh wait... I forgot this is system wars!

Right now PC got one less vote than Sony . I blame you :-P
Sony + PC for me, currently.
Last gen, I also owned a Wii, but I could hardly find any games for it I was interested in. Same is the case with the Wii U now.
I'm also not interested in picking up an Xbox One yet because the exclusives so far don't interest me and I can play the multiplats on my PC / PS4.
Let's see what the rest of this gen has to offer.
Didn't know you could choose multiple ones at a time. If I did I probably would have chosen everything but PC since I never got into PC gaming, with the exception of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as a kid alot.
That may change one of these days though once I actually bother to get a better PC.
I would pick Nintendo or PC over Sony, but now that I think about it, I grew up with Sony home consoles in a more intimate way. I did have a gameboy, gameboy colour, gameboy advance but they fizzled out on me as time went on or as crazes shifted. My relation had a gamecube which hardly ever got used but to play Resident Evil 4.
Was also never in any good money so could never really afford a decent top end PC back in the day but had tonnes of fun with games like Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo 1&2, damn I was a Blizzard whore, also EA with their MOH series and the Half Life game, not to mention the hype the C&C franchise had was booming too.
3rd gen - Commodore
5th gen - Sony
6th gen - Sega, Nintendo, PC
7th gen - Microsoft, Nintendo
8th gen - most likely Microsoft and then Nintendo once 3ds gets a reasonable price.
I love gaming on all platforms but If I was stranded on an island and could only choose one platform, it would be the one that had Mario games on it. I am a huge sucker for Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Mario platformers.
Let me try to rank current gen based on software.
3DS
PC
Wii U
Vita
Xbox One
PS4
So as you can see specs don't really mean much without games imo.
A good way to determine your true preference is to count your library of games, and go by that. Doing that, my preference is easy:
Six shelves of Nintendo games
Three shelves of Sony games
One shelf of Microsoft console games
a few digital PC games
Therefor: Nintendo>Sony>Microsoft>PC for me.
PC and Nintendo. Without these two gaming would have been doomed. Microsoft and Sony are just small fries.
The choices for Microsoft and PC are confusing. PC implies Microsoft Windows operating system.
It is not confusing at all . Everyone knows what M$ means there . (Hint : Xbox Consoles)
PC is open platform that uses Windows as Operating System . PC stands for "Personal Computer" and people doesn't care about M$ just like how they abandoned PC as gaming platform . That is why GFWL is dead and buried . If someday Linux becomes bigger , developers will start to produce games for that OS on PC . Right now Windows is more profitable but it is all about Freedom .
I've enjoyed my Sony and Nintendo platforms. Steam is also great for my smaller budget games I play on my laptop. Microsoft platforms always get the least amount of use although they have a couple enjoyable games every now and then.
I chose Nintendo for the purpose of this list, but there should have been a fifth option. All of them. I buy all the hardware and play games by every company. Nintendo are my favourite, that's why I chose them, but I'd be foolish to not consider anybody but them. For as long as I have played video games I have played consoles from all the manufacturers as well as PC.
pc
have to have one anyway, convenient and utilitarian
going to move to 4k - no other platform can do this
