Normally people tend to pick one console that they buy at the start of the gen and then love that console until it's very death while turning a blind eye or rejecting the competing platforms. But has there been a case where you started off really loving one console but eventually switched your preference to another mid-gen?
Just to clarify, an allegiance does not have to make you a fanboy. It just means you prefer a certain console over another, which I think we all do to some degree. It DOESN'T mean you diss the competition and it's supporters as though you are waging a war.
For me personally I have switched allegiance massively this gen. I started off getting the Wii at the beginning because of how revolutionary the controls were. I absolutely loved playing games like DBZ BT3, Mario Kart Wii and SSBB. My mind was set that the other consoles didn't have anything as awesome as the Wii. Over time though I realised that the Wii really didn't have much software being released on it and all the games I wanted to play were being released on PS360. At that point I looked at the HD twins and decided to get the 360 because it was heralded as having untouchable MP facilities, despite having to pay a small fee each month, and I loved online MP games. So I got the 360, played Halo and COD for the first time and fell in love with shooters. At that point, the 360 was the best thing I had and the Wii seemed like a child's toy to me. Eventually though, I went back to my roots of playing JRPGs and the 360 is a console has been abandoned by developers of such games, even though it was initially a great JRPG platform which I enjoyed. So I looked towards the PS3 which had many great exclusives and seemed to be the console Japanese devs supported most after handhelds. So I got the PS3 last year and now I friggin love this thing. I just realised I've been pointlessly paying extra money for an online service that is pretty much the same as PSN and the PS3 has many more exclusives that are tailored towards my taste as well as all the 3rd party software the 360 has, which has only been spitting out Halo, Gears and Forza sequels as of late.
So yeah, long story short, I went from Wii to 360 to PS3 by the end of this gen. What about you?
