Im glad they dont make a "normal" console, that would mean we have 3 nearly identical consoles which to me is just boring. I buy Nintendo consoles for exclusives whether that be 1st, 2nd or 3rd party. Zelda, Metroid, 3D Mario, Smadh Bros and Mario Kart are enough for me to buy there console, then adding games like Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Advance/Battalion Wars, Custom Robo and a few excellent 3rd party exclusives makes it a must have.
Playstation/Xbox have 90% of the same games so choosing one also comes down to exclusive games/features. I personally dont play much online games so paying for online is out of the question for me, especially since its a paywall for things like Netfix as well, so thats onr reason I prefer Sony to Microsoft also they have more variety in 1st party titles.
For me the perfect combo is Nintendo+Sony, its been that way for the past 2 gens and it seems like it will be that way this gen as well. That way I get all the classic Nintendo franchises, some great 3rd party exclusives, Sony's diverse 1st party library and 3rd party mulitplats
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
