This is something that I really don't understand, be it people getting the PS instead of the N64 or Saturn or people getting the Xbox instead of the Dreamcast, PS2 or GC.

Because, from my point of view the logical choice would be to get a Saturn or N64 in the 5th generation, and not a PS1. And the logical choice for the 6th generation would be to get a Dreamcast, GC or PS2 and not an Xbox. Because, those brands are already established and you know which games you will get with the Nintendo, Sega and later on Sony brand consoles. When people made a choice in the 5th generation they knew they would get Mario, Zelda, Metroid etc. well known games for Nintendo, and Sonic etc. for the Sega systems. If they bought PS1 they really had no idea which games would come, if they would be good etc. etc. And sames goes with the 6th generation, you really had no idea how good the Xbox would be in the end, how many good or bad games there would be.

So my questions are:

1. What made you buy a completely new system and not one of the old/known already established ones?
2. Would you do it again, buy a Samsung, Google, Apple, Amazon console instead of Nintendo, Sony or MS in the future?
3. Why didn't you buy Ouya?
