Which platforms can the most Final Fantasy games be found?
I'm interested in (re)playing as many of the Final Fantasy games as I possibly can, but I'm limited in the number of various platforms I have access to (what I have access to isn't important - I don't mind picking up a new console or something, but I don't want to have to buy 5 different consoles). What platform(s) currently support the most number of Final Fantasy games?
The term "Final Fantasy game" specifically refers to the primary core of games which are titled as "Final Fantasy n". However, answers may include sequels and derivatives such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Kingdom Hearts as either a separate section or as a dedicated answer. Also, emulators could also be considered if there is a readily-available legal source of ROMs for that platform.
Solution 1:
The console with most FF games is playstation. (anthology, Chronicles, origin) have more than 1 FF game from NES/SNES.
If counting digital downloads, then the PS3 is the console with the most FF games.

Solution 2:
A PS3 can play at least every Final Fantasy from I to XIII-3 except for III and XII.
With backwards compatibility and PSClassics on PSN you can play:
Final Fantasy Origins - (Contains FFI and FFII)
Final Fantasy Chronicles - (Contains FFIV and Chrono Trigger)
Final Fantasy Anthology - (Contains FFV and FFVI)
Final Fantasy VII through IX
PS3 versions include X, X-2, XIII, XIII-2, and XIII Lighting Returns.
An original PS3 COULD have played XII. But the PS2 backwards compatibility which was discontinued early on.
