Console Wars Continue—but With Clear Winners
-

While PC took the crown, the competition among consoles was far from irrelevant. PlayStation emerged as the most popular console choice, attracting nearly 400 votes—well ahead of its rivals. Sony’s strong lineup of exclusives and brand loyalty continue to give it an edge among traditional console gamers.
Surprisingly, Nintendo trailed the pack despite being the most recent console maker to release new hardware. The relatively low showing for Switch and Switch 2 players suggests Nintendo still has ground to make up in 2026, especially after a shaky launch year that left some fans waiting for must-play titles.
