    I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.

    My mum made me sell my Gameboy Colour, which was still in great condition, for a 10er at a flea market. Still get sad about it any time I think about it… Was my first ever console and probably the reason green is my favourite colour now.

    My parents made me sell my original Gameboy before they would get me a Game Gear. I miss the way it sounded!

    Literally all of my nintendo handhelds. My mom made me and my sister get rid of all of them when we bought PSPs. I was young and dumb, and convinced myself it was a fair trade, two GBA SPs and an original DS…

    Fuck me, I was stupid. I miss my old Pokémon games.

    i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

    One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.

    I regret getting rid of my Wii, only because that’s the one I’m missing to complete my Nintendo home console collection. I had initially sold it because the Wii U played Wii games, but it would be nice to have it back for a complete set.

    I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.

    I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.

    I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.

    I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.

    Donates mine to a children’s hospital. NES, SNES, PS1, N64 and PS2 and a whole mess of games. My PS3, Xbox, hacked Xbox and 360 I kept till they all broke so they just got binned and the games given away to family and/or friends.

    The only system out of all the consoles I currently want, and have wanted, but have never owned is Atari Jaguar with Jaguar CD. Someday…someday.

    My modded PS1. It was the first hardware mod I ever did. It was a mess. It booted games sometimes, froze periodically. But, I would love to go back and fix the mod today and play some classics. I do have an unmodded ps1 mini with the attachment screen I have since purchased, but it just isn’t the same.
