"Which devices to buy" or "how many to buy"?If its the later one, then there exists intrinsic ordering pattern within your response variable, 
and modeling such a response variable via unordered framework is likely to result in loss of important information. Ordered probit/logit in some cases may not give best fit for all ordered response variables. However, on a general note, ordered (probit and/or logit) model would be an intuitive methodological alternative in your case.

 Hi there, 

I have a discrete choice model where respondents are asked to specify which devices they would buy.

Most of the respondents have indicated that they will buy more than two devices (out of six devices). 

Is there a way to make a discrete choice model? or Should I go for a probit model? 

Any feedback is welcomed. Thanks in advance for the help.
