Title says it all. I'm curious what devices you use for which purpose. For me, it's:

* Mid-range PC from 2020 running Linux for anything native, Windows (Wine, Proton) or emulated consoles starting with generation 6, also any game that may require a mouse (mainly Windows, DOS or Amiga games). Additionally, it's hooked up to my TV. Controllers: 8bitdo SN30Pro for retro and 8bitdo Pro 2 for more modern games
* RG35xxH for everything up to PS1 (even some N64/Dreamcast/Nintendo DS games)
* Hacked PS Vita for native games and PSP; the touch screen is also great for point'n click games via ScummVM
* My phone for certain DS adventure games that require a lot of touch input
 
latelly i been playing xbox 360 with bad update to experience new games, ps3 playing native and some ps1 and ps2 games, ps2 with mxiso , ps5 and ps4 for jrpgs xd my ps4 last weak When i was connecting the plug, a power surge occurred so the power supply died now i bought a new power to replace xd. i play more rpgs than other kind . sorry for my english im portuguese
 
For my Redmi Turbo 3 i like to experience the retro games rather than my steamdeck. I bought this for only $13

I have a steam deck doing double duty - SteamOS and Batocera
then a Switch and a decent gaming laptop.

I don't have space to do much hardware storage and maintenance so i have to keep it simple and portable.
 
As of right now:

PC, a bit of a potato but I mostly play emulated games and indies on it. I hope to upgrade sometime soon.
PS5, for the rare handful of current games I wanna play
PS4, although it's mostly retired
A hacked Switch, with access to... many things.
and a hacked 3DS, also with access to everything.

I'm a tight-wad when it comes to games, and generally prefer older stuff anyway. That's what led me to RGT in the first place.
 
PS4, though I rarely use it anymore
Switch
PS2
Wii
Wii U, Haven’t used that in years
3DS, Definitely haven’t touched that in years
GBA, same as above
Ipad, for playing retro games on Delta Emulator
Galaxy A15, for playing Dolphin
 
Wii U and newer on native HW.
DS family on a (old) 3DS.
Dreamcast and older on a "Consolized" Dell Optiplex mini PC

The caveats:
PS2 on Native (OPL)
GC and Wii on Wii
PS3 on PC
 
mostly PC but I still play games on my PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4 and my 360 and my wii u and on the switch. Only reason I even own a switch is because for the kids but I was sure to get it pre-owned so Nintendo get no cash from me they can go suck a D.
 
Do I get a banjo?
PC is good but mine is having issues I have no money to fix, so it has been rough.
DSi or DS lite for DS games. can also GBARunner up some GBA if I wanted but I feel vita emulation is bit nicer.
a 3DS for 3DS games, some DS games, some GBA stuff, some general retro stuff, not that I play them much I mainly would likely play 3DS for 3DS games.
a PS Vita for Vita or PSP games. Has also retroarch and some 8-16 bit games but not a main go to. GBA is gorgeous though on the device.
a Switch for switch games and my 2nd in command for anything retro (has extensive retroarch installation, modded) - so SNES Genesis etc. I even have extensive amount of 8bitdo products to have Famicom-ish controller, SNES (SNES mini), 6button mega drive etc pads in use. Or just Wii U pro controller why not. Currently playing Hundred Line -Last Defence Academy- on it.
A PS3 for PS3 games. Also extensive music library and some music videos since I could fill 1tb drive with only so much.
A PS3 for mysteriously obtained PS3 games. Maybe also some PS1 and maybe some PS2 situationally. Easier to fill a 1tb drive, and also an external one.
a PS2 for PS2 games (has a HDD). Could play also maybe my PS1 discs on it but I have only so many.
A gamecube for gamecube games
A Wii for gamecube games, and Wii games.
A Wii U for gamecube games, wii games, Wii U games, one MORE retroarch installation, virtual console injects and whatnot.
Xbox for Xbox games. semi-hard modded (Reflashed bios, larger HDD)
Xbox 360 for my xbox 360 discs and few purchases. No mods
few GBA's I hardly use but could use to play some sonic advance or warioland 4 with.

And my phone. I do not play on my phone but if I do, it is great time filling sudokus with. I used to try out to have a retroarch installation on my phone but honestly I can just pocket one of my DS'es, vita or my switch and be a happy dude.
 
I just, less than an hour ago, bought a Sega Genesis Mini. Technically I haven't gamed on it yet, but it will count shortly !

Otherwise, I have been fortunate: Mostly play on Steam Deck, but have a dusty boxed up ps5, an Xbox series x for gamepass games, a midrange pc that I just don't like sitting at, an OLED switch, and a miyoo mini+ that I've started using again.
 
A really old, probably 10 year old potato PC that came with Windows 7 (upgraded to Windows 10 when they killed support) and a slightly newer GPU than what it shipped with but not by much.
An RG35XX SP for most of my retro games.
A PS5 is honestly my main machine. PS3 is hooked up because I still have some PS3 games in my backlog before I officially retire it.
And on my phone I play some sideloaded apps and the rare gambling machine gacha of the week.
 
As of writing this, a crummy old Galaxy A20 for emulating 3rd & 4th gen consoles, as well as GB, GBC, and GBA games.

I plan on upgrading to a flagship for Vita and Gamecube emulation as well as procuring a 3DS to mod.

As for the other stuff I currently own, I got a Genesis Mini 1, SNES & NES Mini, C64 Mini, PS1 Classic and two Neo Geo Minis (JP & US).

I also have a Galaxy A20. I got it in early 2020 and I still use it as my main phone.

I mainly game on PC.
