I don't buy a console or game based purely on popularity although it is a factor. Sometimes, a false impression is given in that the most popular games are actually good games. For that reason I always rent a game before I actually buy it though. Popularity matters more to me when it comes to console, though. Popularity in a console leads to more third party support which leads to more and a greater variety of games.
