In order of play time...
360: Would probably rank as an "average" playtime console, except I have NHL 12 for it.
PS1/2: I combine them because most of the games I play on PS2 are PS1 games...
Wii: Not counting Netflix (if I did, it would be my most used console, hands down, no exceptions), I play more Zelda, virtual console and Mario Kart Wii, easy
NDS: I play it on the bus... or in bed when I'm about to pack it in for the night
PC: Gets used for random vintage PC gaming, emulators, and Steam... and Steam is typically only used for Blood Bowl or old HL mods
Dreamcast: This is my "before work" system, on which I play very frequently but not for long stretches, or when I'm going out in half an hour and just want a quick arcade game to play
N64: Hosts most of my favourite childhood games...
I have... I dunno, maybe twice the amount of systems I just mentioned, but they get played sporadically and at random, whenever I just randomly feel like playing.
What consoles do you play very regularly?
Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
I mostly play on my laptop.
Currently, the PS2, Gamecube, and N64 are all hooked up to the TV. PS2 sees the most play time and has the biggest library. I've been meaning to hook up the SNES though, because I actually play that the most when it's hooked up.

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
I dont have enough room to have everything hooked up all the time and I dont have enough power strips to have systems with external AC adaptors hooked up safely.
I have my Xbox 360 hooked up almost all the time. It uses scart, and my only other consoles with scart cable are CD-i and Saturn. I have to turn my TV around if I want to switch the scart cable, and the Xbox conveniently starts at the push of a button on the wireless controller, so its most of the time hooked up. I never hook up gamecube, xbox or ps1 because wii/360/ps2 have all backwards compatibility.
I aim to play on a certain for a few days, pick up a few uncomplete games for it and switch between them, then switch the console. But most of the time I just cant be bothered so I just play old games on a console thats already hooked up. At the moment my Xbox 360, PS2, Mega Drive and SNES get played most. I havent had enough time to buy games for certain consoles, so there isnt much reason to hook them up. That will change once I my collection grows though.

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
Once I get a console with backwards compatibility I start neglecting the older consoles (ie: once I got a GBA my GB and GBC have collected dust). Other consoles I neglect simply because I don't have enough games for them (3DO), or even the space to hook them up (Commodore 64 and phat ass Xbox).
Consoles I've been playing regularly in 2012:
SNES
Wii (for GameCube and Wii games)
PS2 (for PS1 and PS2 games)
PC Engine Duo
3DS (for DS and 3DS games)
PSP
Xbox 360
I generally have four consoles hooked up to my CRT and one to the HDTV.
I'll rotate consoles in a couple months and probably get the Dreamcast, PS3, Genesis, Saturn, and NES hooked up.

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
My Wii gets the most play by far... but that shouldn't be a surprise. Outside of a strong library of games for the console itself, I also play a lot of Virtual Console and WiiWare and GameCube titles. So it's basically serving as 3+ consoles but taking up a lot less space.
Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
I'm away at uni at the moment and only have my Saturn with me. I play my friend's 360 from time to time, but his collection is limited to bro games.
When I'm home, I only play my Wii/Gamecube games. All my other consoles are at friends' houses.

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
My US Turboduo gets the most play. Modded to play pc engine games as well. Saturn is a close second, followed by ps3.
Tho my ps2 has been getting some love as of late

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
My PS3, Dreamcast and Saturn are all in regular rotation. I would say I play on the Saturn slightly more than the other two.

It's time to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of gum.
Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
Right now, just my Wii, GCN, 3DS and DS.
I love having my retro systems but to be honest I don't play them often. Probably because I'm a terrible gamer and I'd rather put time into a game I enjoy, rather than putting time into a game just to have it kick my ass over and over.
