My mom made me sell my ps2 (with a ton of games, even with the buzz controllers, microphones, etc.) for 20 bucks. I die inside every time I remember this lol.

She also made me sell my PSP because I “didn’t play” with it. Important thing to say: my parents refused to buy me new games, I only had a few and once I completed them I stopped playing…

Not a console but I used to have a working Amiga 500 in the 90’s which I got rid of in favor of a PC. Wish I’d had held on to that one.

Console, no. But somehow my parents convinced me to give away my copy of Pokémon Blue to one of my cousins. One of the dumbest things I’ve done, even if It wasn’t entirely my fault.

My Virtual Boy.

My GameBoy Pocket, which I sold to get a GameBoy Color, which I sold to get a GameBoy Advance.

I do still have my GameBoy Advance, and I’ve upgraded it with an IPS screen and USBC rechargable battery. I just wish I had kept all my other handhelds so I could upgrade those too.

I still shudder over the fact that my mom made me trade in my SNES and a bunch of games for store credit during the N64 era. I can’t remember exactly which games or how many were traded, but I know that we only had enough store credit to buy Mario Party. I may need therapy to truly put this behind me.

I’ve been feeling this lately as well. I’ll see people post pictures of display cases filled with all their consoles and it makes me regret giving away my old consoles when I bought a new one.

I especially miss my N64.

Never personally sold any of my previously owned consoles, but I did “lose”* my Super Nintendo around 2001 and, sometime in 2011, my older brother messed up my PSone’s lid and it “disappeared” shortly afterwards.

* This loss was either my mom or aunt getting rid of it because "nobody is using it anymore, it's just wasting space and gathering dust". The same end my brother's CCE Turbo Game (a brazilian famiclone) had when I was even younger

I still have all mine. But I never play them. I mess with emulators though.

I’m still holding on to my commodore 64. I’m taking that thing to my grave

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.

When I was young my brother wanted to trade in our crystal xbox for money towards an Elite 360.

I made a stink about it because I didn’t want to upgrade at the time, and I even ended up setting it up in the attic to try and avoid having it sold.

In the end Dad did end up trading it in… for 20p (good riddance to physical game shops).

Ended up getting my own crystal xbox as an adult, and I did end up playing Halo 3 ODST’s multilayer disc religiously. Still, for 20p Dad?!

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.

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.

My Dreamcast… I had almost every game downloaded and there was so much choice I never committed to anything and got bored. It taught me a lesson about piracy and the value of attention.
