WHY do you want your sytem to win? WHY is it so important to YOU. Now, don't be bashful. Speak up. I've read a seemingly innumerable number of posts extolling the virtues of one system over another, but, that really doesn't answer the question... so please don't confuse them. I'm not asking which system you believ to be better, I'm asking why you want one to win over the other.

Because over the last two generations I have watched gaming go straight down the tubes, pandering to creepy adolescent males in a race to the "best" graphics instead of focusing on what really matters. Two of this gen's consoles focus on continuing that downhill slide, while one is built around doing what the industry really needs to do: take the so-called "hardcore" down a few knowledge and let everyone else know that it's safe to come back. So naturally, I support that one, because frankly I want my hobby back.

 

That's exactly why gaming audiences have exploded over the last 2 generations, with more gamers and more demographics (average gaming age is around 33 these days).

Also, I think PS3's and 360's push (Singstar, Buzz, LBP, We're in the movies, uno etc) for games with a larger demographic shows that it's not pandering to creepy adolescent males.

@OP: Well I'm a weird case:

- I want PS3 to win because I want games on the damn thing

- I want 360 to win because it means there's a viable third party in the market (meaning more competition)
