I'd say my gaming is currently 70% Switch, 25% PC, 5% 3DS. It'll probably shift a little more with USUM and Radiant Historia coming out soon for 3DS, after that, it'll probably mostly be retired outside of backlog playing and traveling for Streetpass.

I only have a few games so far on Switch; still playing a lot on my Wii U and especially 3DS to conquer that backlog.

A lot lately. Haven't touched my Switch since Samus Returns, and likely won't touch it again until Odyssey comes out. I only use my Switch (and 3DS) for a handful of games though. Neither are my main console, but I like to have them for the handful of Nintendo game I like to play (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc).

I still play my 3DS daily and will continue to do so for some time, with SMT Strange Journey yet to come. I'm much more comfortable bringing it to work with me, I'm not sure I want to do that with my Switch at this moment.

I'm still on the PC playing skyrim...(LOL) but I had to turn everything else off (I did turn on pokemon long enough to get pikachu with the hat). It was just burning electricity. Switch has pretty much been it for me. I was waiting on the honeymoon period to wear off but there are too many good games coming out back to back for that!

Right now I'm 100% Switch. PS4 is gathering dust with 3DS, though Metroid and Ever Oasis will force me to spend some quality 3DS time at some point.

Currently for me maybe around 70% Switch, 20% 3DS, 5% Wii U and 5% PS4, but I think when Mario Odyssey is out, will spend even more time on the Switch.

For some daft reason I bought a New 3ds XL to replace my old 3ds not long before I bought a switch.Although I may of well just bought a 2ds xl as I think the 3d is far worse on the XL and by the looks of things most 3ds games aren't even going to have 3d anyway!
Ok,so yeah I spend about an hour on the 3ds in about a week.My PS4 is still the most used at the moment...(because...Witcher 3 for starters) but the Switch is getting ALOT of attention..

Probably 60% Switch, 25% PS4, 15% Xbox. My 2DS just doesn't register anymore.

Every time I pick up my 3DS, I think why aren't I playing this game on the Switch? The form factor, for me, is so much better on the switch then any other platform. I love the idea of holding console quality games in my hand.

The Switch is incomplete though, and only because Nintendo wants it to be. Add Virtual Console and the ability to play the back catalog and 3DS games, which of course the Switch has the power to do, and it would be the perfect game console. They would sell billions of units.... but as we have seen with NES Classic, they're not interested in selling as many as they can.... only as many as they want to.

Have given my Switch lots of play time, even dropping Persona 5 on my PS3 (although it was having trouble grabbing me like the previous titles).

However, the release of Metroid: Samus' Return made me drop everything else and head for the N3DS. I am now close to finishing it but would really like to go back to Bravely Second.

I was 30+ hrs into it but now I have almost forgotten the plot. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have a summary of the story events that fills up as you progress to allow a quick recap. I guess my only option is to rewatch the cutscenes and hope to get enough info.

50/50 between my Switch and my PC. My PS4 and Xbox One have pretty much fallen off the map. The Xbox gets a boot-up when I need to watch a Blu-Ray lol

As a handheld the 3ds is still the best option its got some great game
As for the switch it better as a console the battery is just not good enough to be a hand held
Would like to see a all new ds that players 3ds as well

@Leon-mirage The Switch battery issue is easy to deal with. There are many methods to give yourself more than enough battery life.

I agree the 3DS has an excellent library but I am just sick of playing games on such a small screen. If they had released an HD 2 or 3DS with a nice modern display and touch screen, I'd have been all over that. But We have the Switch and it would be a bad move to release another DS system.

I still have lots of 3ds/ds games in my backlog. I view gaming as a timeless activity - I have a nice library to choose from and it doesnt matter to me if the game is new or old. During the summer I picked up SM3D Land and had a blast. Will probably give Samus Returns an immediate try when I get it at the end of the month.

My Xbox One has been gathering dust for months and only gets used as a Netflix machine. Switch is Life!

Mayo for Sam. Year TBC.

The Switch is great but I don't consider it outright superior to the New 3DS, which is still usually my handheld of choice outside the house - largely because of Animal Crossing, mind you, but it is also more convenient, and I still have some other games to get through. I'm among the minority who still care about 3D, too.
