    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.

      I know the feeling, even when I never experienced it beforehand (I wasn’t the cousin just to be clear).

      Did your cousin at least took care of it?

    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 actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

    One of my old friends dad sold the atari jaguar. With multiple controllers and a pretty full game library. Pretty sure it was worth a pretty penny then too but he didn’t think twice about it. Would probably fetch over a grand now for the collection.

    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.

    I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.

    I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.

    Also Dreamcast but for a different reason than most. I learned it played burned games by default 10 minutes after I sold it.

    Super Nintendo - I was in my mid teens and my mother coerced me into giving my Super Nintendo into my cousin, but I have regretted it ever since.

    Coincidentally, Super Mario RPG remake is coming out in November and will probably make me feel fine again!

    Mine wasn’t a selling console, it was a “I’m sure I can fix this” and it was my old original Fat PS3 with backwards compatibilit. Back when I was first looking into technology as a hobby/passion, my ps3 stopped working, me being ignorant decided “lets take it apart to see if anythings burnt”, well I never put it back together again when I was done saying I would do it later, I never ended up doing so, and while I still have what I think is most of the pieces, I’m 80% sure that it is missing pieces, but I also haven’t had the time to do a proper once over on it.
