Gaming Platforms

Gaming Platforms documents every gaming device and platform Ricardo Neudorfer has owned or used, in chronological order.

PSP (2016)

The PlayStation Portable was the first gaming device, received in early 2016. Sony's handheld had a library of over 1,000 titles and used UMD discs alongside downloadable games from the PlayStation Store. It had a 4.3-inch LCD screen, analogue stick, and full control set.

The PSP was the starting point for gaming as a sustained hobby rather than a casual interest.

Nintendo 3DS and 2DS (2018)

The Nintendo 3DS and its budget variant the 2DS were acquired in 2018. The 3DS featured a stereoscopic 3D upper screen that displayed depth without glasses. The 2DS removed the 3D capability and the clamshell hinge, offering the same software library at a lower price point.

Both devices ran the same library, which included first-party Nintendo titles alongside a large catalogue of third-party games.

PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 (2020)

A PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 were acquired in 2020. The PS2 is one of the best-selling consoles ever made, with a library exceeding 4,000 titles covering every genre. The PS3 added Blu-ray playback, online multiplayer via PlayStation Network, and HD gaming.

Both consoles have large back-catalogues from the late 1990s through the 2010s.

PlayStation 4 (2024)

A PlayStation 4 was added in 2024. The PS4 offered a modern library of current-generation titles and significantly better hardware performance than the PS2 and PS3 already in the setup.

PC (Late 2025)

The switch to PC gaming happened in late 2025. A PC opened access to multiple storefronts simultaneously:

Storefront	Games in library
Steam	13
Epic Games Store	5
Ubisoft Connect	3
EA App	1
Microsoft Store	1

PC gaming is the current primary platform alongside the PS5.

PlayStation 5 (Late 2025)

A PlayStation 5 was acquired at the same time as the PC switch in late 2025. The PS5 is Sony's current-generation console with fast SSD loading, the DualSense controller with haptic feedback, and backwards compatibility with PS4 titles.

The PS5 runs alongside the PC as the current dual setup.
