Hi guys ever since I got the steam deck a month ago, my Xbox been sitting in my shelf not being plugged or used and also my switch….

I hate keeping thing I don’t use and most of the games I play on Xbox are available on the deck and some deck games that I play aren’t even available on the Xbox.

I’m selling the switch tomorrow and the Xbox after tomorrow through a selling app.

Did anyone else get rid of other consoles after getting the steam deck? Is it worth keeping on its own if it’s the only thing that I am using?

Note: am not just selling because I’m not using these other devices but I also need the money to get some dental work done

    My xbox is my streaming device and what we use to watch things at night. Granted, our old 360 was getting sluggish, so we went it planning to stream from it more than game.

    I’d never get rid of it because of that.

    I also won’t get rid of my switch as I have a lot of games for it/on it and it has sentimental value.

    Every console I got rid of previously, I regret. It just isn’t worth it.

    Valid, the Xbox doesn’t have good enough exclusives to keep around, if you are satisfied with the decks performance, then having the Xbox isn’t really worth it. And if you don’t do much switch multiplayer, you could literally just emulate most of the switches library on deck at full speed

    No. Always nice to have variety. Always regretted getting rid of the SNES, N64, GBC, Game Gear and PS2 back in the day.

    Besides that, I have built up too big of a physical collection on Switch, Xbox One and PS4/5 to just sell. Always nice to have these consoles and physical games on hand purely for preservation and replay purposes years down the line.

    But each individual circumstance is different. If you need the money, fair enough.
