It's hard to say these days.
I buy a lot of games from donation places and I am quite grateful for it.
But I also, give a lot consoles away as well. I buy them... clean them up, sometimes hack them/or not... and i build small collections and give them to parents who want their kids to have some games.
On facebook i'm part of a bunch of groups where people who can't afford things for kids for any reason, will sometimes ask for video games, so depending on what I have... I give it to them.
I've given away sega genesis, sega game gear, sega32x, sega cd (no copy protection :) ), Wii's, wii-u's, Xbox's, Xbox360's (kids love the kinect), I've given some computers away too (can easily build little gaming machines these days with used computers).
I'm currently still holding onto quite a lot, but for the moment, I'm planning on making a youtube channel where I play every game I own.... and then after that... I don't know... might donate back to some salvation army and let some other person enjoy the games, or simple make more little give away packs.
I love putting smiles on little kid's faces or parent's who are broke and happy their kids will have some for birthdays or christmas.
I don't care about their market value, games are meant to have fun with, so there is no loss to me. Besides, in the end, it doesn't matter what a game is worth, if no one will buy it. I like the idea of collecting for fun, but I don't like the idea of holding on to them... for no reason, other then..."their value might go up one day".
I've sold a few games here and there when I have too many doubles or tripples from buying game lots... But I sell them like 5$. lol
Looking at ebay prices, some of the games i've sold were worth apparently 100-200-300$ sometimes, which is rediculous... so I simply dont join in on the crazy train of market prices...
But don't recycle anything, for the love of god.

I don't think he's angry but annoyed at seeing the same basic b!tch question asked pretty much daily. Be better.

Nah man you shouldn’t sell wait like 30 years and by that time consoles will be common in the world and the old consoles from back in the days will have much more worth than now. So I suggest you keep it because someday it can make you thousands of dollars (or the money currency in where you live.) Keep them as a suggestion from me.

All of Xbox games are playable on PC, and PlayStation games will eventually come to PC, the only correct answer is Nintendo with it's exclusivity and accessibility

I'm pretty good at soldering! Could you point me to a YouTube video or something that explains how to do it?

In an alternate universe where all consoles were built just like PCs with PC components this might be possible, but not in this universe, the best thing you can get is a newer console and emulate it on homebrew

Xbox and playstation are good in their own rights. It depends what games you're after mostly

I sold my game consoles 5 years ago. I regret it. Keep them for memories, or pass them down to your kids / nieces and nephews / friends children

As the owner of an Epson printer and a goldfish made of play-doh I'd say to go buy a pound of Swedish meatballs and put them in a big brown bowl and just rest your face in them.
This is how I'm answering every single one of these dumbass "Help, what should I do?" posts from now on. I urge everyone to do the same until we successfully raise the bar of intelligent posts in this as of now fucking brain dead sub.

As an owner of a ps5, i think the quest 2 would be a better option because i think vr gaming actually has a future. Normal gaming rn is kinda dying and getting boring. No innovations coming from companys so in my opinion u should get a quest 2

I would keep them I like to get my old consoles out every now and then for nostalgia and maybe one day you’ll want to show your kids, but if you really want rid but don’t think you’ll get any good money for them try donating them to kid’s hospitals or orphanages I’ve never called an orphanage so don’t know how that would work but could be a really nice think to do, last option is charity shops at least they could sell them on for cheaper than a retro website.

If you want to get rid of them DM me with pics I'm interested in buying them

Give it to me then

I'd keep them. Space is a small price to pay for nostalgia long term.
Never recycle them. Video game preservation is important to a lot of people.
You can definitely sell all that if you really don't want it to someone who wants it more.
