Lots of classic systems!
I feel bad for the person who only has 443 game consoles hooked to one TV.
Those of us who collect classic game consoles and computers (here’s looking at you, AI reporter Benj Edwards) know the difficulty of keeping all that hardware not just working but instantly accessible with a simple press of a power button.
Meh, the answer is money. With money it’s easy.
I mean with rf based consoles it’s easy to just put a bunch of T’s on the coax but HDMI would require a massive HDMI switcher.

I think I’d rather deal with the inconvenience of hooking them up when I need, than the anxiety that I’m living with a fire hazard like this.
I have a bunch of different old consoles and vintage computers (not “444” of course) and used to try to have them all hooked up, it was such a miserable rats nest of wires. I eventually settled on just using one at a time (I am only human, after all).
Whatever I’m playing gets the prime hookup spot in front of the TV, everything else gets stored neatly on a shelf or in a box. Cables and controllers are in individually labelled zipper storage bags, in bin drawers, out of sight until they are needed…
Of course, hooking them all up is a hobby itself… It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of scalers and SCART switches and RGB mods and then you suddenly find yourself a couple thousand dollars poorer.
