How would you feel if.....

Popularity has its positives, but it by no means defines quintessentially everyones favorite.

Dreamcast became my favorite console thus far, simply because of the level of fun I had playing the games that did come out for it. The number of games on a platform, in my personal experience, doesn't dictate how much I enjoy and support a system.

Having more options can be a very good thing, but only so long as those options don't water down the overall quality of the games that come out.

Most people, including hardcore gamers, don't purchase and play hundreds of games for their consoles which is why popularity and exclusives tend to be feathers in the cap these days.

Thing is, I don't see MS or Sony on par with Nintendo and SEGA of old, when really they only had to depend on their own works (Gamecube and Dreamcast respectfully.)

Although I think Sony is trying to get there this generation, which is one of the reasons I chose to buy a PS3 regardless of sales, and MS is attempting to buy its way into that sector of the gaming echelons. And frankly I don't think MS's strategy will work long term.
