I don’t think that this is quite the poll type that you wanted to go with as I have several on that list but with the type of poll that you went with I can only choose one.

Anyway I have the PS2 hooked up to a tv in a different room but I don’t think that I would say that I actively play it as I haven’t played anything on it in well over a year. I do have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and SNES mini still hooked up to another tv that I still play every now and then. My Wii is packed up in its box and put away as any Wii game I wish to play I can play on the Wii U.

I keep four consoles connected to my TV at a time. Right now, my Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 stay permanently connected in three of those spots leaving one spot remaining which I use as a rotation spot for my retro consoles. I have a bookshelf right next to my Entertainment Center that holds the rest of my retro consoles when they are not in the rotation spot. About every few weeks, I switch out the console sitting in the rotation spot with one of the other consoles from the bookshelf.

Right now, my N64 is sitting in the rotation spot of my Entertainment Center and my Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS1, and PS2 are on the bookshelf until their next turn in the rotation spot.

I have a NES Genesis SNES N64 PS1 Xbox PS2 Gamecube PS3 360 WiiU Super NT

None of it is hooked up at the moment. A lot of my stuff is stored away in boxes. I don't have room for my retro stuff. I have 800 games and somewhere around 1000 blu rays and dvds. The stuff takes up a lot of space. I also have some big fish tanks and they take up a lot of space.

Wii U/Wii
PS2/PS1
Sega DC
N64
Atari Jaguar
SNES
Atari Flashback 8 (2600 finally died 2 months ago ☠)

The oldest console I have hooked up right now is my WiiU. I do play a Wii game every once in a while on it though. Usually Donkey Kong Country Returns or Punch-Out!!

The PS3, SNES Classic and the Wii U I guess if it we're counting that as a retro console.

I think retro consoles look best on old CRT TVs which is why I still have my old 20" Toshiba CRT. It's where I hook up my PS2 to.

Actually we have two CRT TVs now. My kid's friend upgraded her TV to an LED. So, she gave her 20" RCA CRT to us.

None. BC removes most of the desire to connect an older system. In fact, it would be great if we can simply play all our old games on the newer system and would be even better is if we can play ALL games on one system. I just have to wait 5-10 years for that to happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Ever since they got their own gaming-capable PCs, they haven't asked for a console. I expected them to want at least a Switch for Christmas. Nope. They're happy with the PC/laptops and mobile devices.

I'm the only one here at home with an interest in retro stuff.
