I can't argue with any of that. I think you nailed it. 

Right, they did the online thing right. The hardware, not so much. Sony seems to get the hardware right. I always love the look and play of their games, but they arent' quite as engaging in their online offerings. Nintendo does their own thing, and is often backwards online, but I love their games and the smaller form factor of their consoles. Which all mean that. . .I WANT THEM ALL! Ha ha.  

My thing with handhelds is screen size, so whichever is biggest and looks best wins. This would mean the PSVita, but I really couldn't find many games I wanted to play on it, so the 3DS XL is my favorite. 

I would never trade away the Game Boy Player and my Gamecube. I have trouble seeing the screen on the Game Boy handhelds - not bright enough, any of them. 

It's funny, because my friend and I are always bitching about Microsoft even though we mostly use their consoles.

I'm often wondering why there isn't a Dragon Quest Collection on one of the consoles. I'd like to run through all of them. 

I'm largely a Xbox fan because my friend is, and we can play together that way. I enjoy the graphics better on Playstation. 

I really like the DSi XL but the 3DS XL is my favorite all-time. 

I had several of those RPGs but never found the time to get to them. Too busy blowing things up with my friend on other systems, I guess. 

Yeah, I saw the Baten Kaitos rerelease on a Nintendo Direct the other week. Oh man, there's some good retro stuff coming to Switch soon. I'm actually getting into preorders again. 

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door is so darn good. I found it so creative and a joy to play.
