Every generation, we pick a platform to be our gaming home. On this week's Podcasting With Power, we explore what it takes to be our "main" console. From our early favorites to our modern go-to systems, we explore how our preferences evolved and what really matters when choosing where to play.

A lot of factors go into these decisions, and we discuss them all: software libraries, unique features, online ecosystems, and more! This episode is part nostalgia trip and part reflection on how our gaming habits have evolved over time.
