Let's say the PC doesn't count and you aren't taking into account backwards compatibility, emulation, online play, homebrew games, and the cost/availability of games.

I feel like I'd want to choose the PS3. Like the Xbox 360 it had a decent lifespan and a lot of games were produced for it. A lot of which are already some of my favorites.

The only things that would make hesitant are I feel like a lot of modern games are larger and have open worlds which I feel like that could be nice in the long run and many of my favorite games for the PS3 have been re-released.

PS5. Easy. New hardware does shit older hardware can't. And while there are games older than PS4 I like, there aren't anywhere near enough to choose them over actually modern shit.

And newer indies often do modernized takes on the stuff older games were limited to.
