I don't have an old console, but I will keep it for resell purposes if I have one when it's value goes up.
I think modern console seems to be good enough and as it seems like giving the backwards compatibility. I'd be surely considering that for sure console.
Tes, I am a console hoarder, I have still got my NES and authentic gray scale GameBoy and the entirety since even though unfortunately, my PS2 is no longer with us. I have by no means been passionate about graphics so I am satisfied to revisit my old video games.
I don't keep classic consoles. I already have emulators that can run games for said classic consoles so I don't find it necessary to keep one.
Emulators can be good for PC. But it's good to have consoles in house. as they tend to be good for posterity.
Maybe you're too young back then to even own one. You see I am very old, like not fossil old but old enough to witness the era of pagers and things like that. LOL
