Console Brand loyalty is crap. Game loyalty though isn't. Game loyalty is what defined (as in minus the new casual Wii crowd) a majority of who bought which console first.

Thank god you're here! I only wished there were more people that think like us here... >_>

 

 IMO, I think Sony has more dedicated fans  than Nintendo or Microsoft. Microsoft could've gained more than Sony but the RROD issue cut into that. The Wii isn't really pulling any dedicated gamers in, the only hardcore gamers buying the Wii are the ones that would buy the next Nintendo console anyways, although there are 'some' hardcore gamers that still buy all nex-gen consoles.

But seriously, I didn't buy a Sony PlayStation 3 for the name, I especially bought it for Metal Gear Solid 4. It turned out that I found some new love with Uncharted, and I'm sure LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2 will be the same when I get them both this Christmas. This ''only made possible on PlayStation 3'' or ''only on Xbox Live'' crap is just stupid and needs to stop.

But you know that system will output great games and have great media functionalities. I bet that if people had to pick which console they had to own before this generation started with no info on the consoles yet then they would most likely go with Playstation. But that's just an obvious guess.
