RetroGaming

My suggestion might seem sacrelige, but hear me out.

If you want something to actually use that is convenient, a mini PC that emulates them all is far better than genuine hardware. Kinda like how I will always say that driving a replica of an expensive car is better than driving a real one out on the road. Set up takes a lot longer, but in the long run it is far cheaper and much more convenient.

• modern TV compatible output
• modern CRT shaders very closely approximate actual CRT look especially at 4k with HDR (I have real CRTs to compare, and they do look similar)
• you dont have to unplug and plug in multiple consoles, wearing out the tv input port when you want to change consoles
• only takes up one tv input port
• some games can run at better framerates than the original hardware could handle, giving a more consistent experience
• no physical space lost to game boxes and multiple unused console accessories
• expandable storage to include all games from each console's library
• can play handheld games on a TV without needing overpriced genuine hardware like the GameBoy Player for the GameCube ($75+ is ridiculous)
• you get to play games you will literally never be able to thanks to speculative buyers and collectors making the real thing too expensive (~$1,000 USD for Panzer Dragoon Saga NTSC should be illegal)

You could potentially invest in console themed controllers, so the inputs match the controller you are holding. Sure, the integrated graphics might not be good enough to PS3 on some older ones, but it's hard to beat that at ~$150 USD for up to 6th gen. Lots of genuine hardware now is that price or more thanks to speculative buying and "collectors" ruining the hobby for people that actually want to play the games instead of just hoarding them.
