being "rich" has nothing to do with anything. It's as most people are saying here to do with individual preference.
e.g when I decided to buy the ps3 over the 360
The reasons that tipped me over were
the triangle square circle and X I've used these controls since the ps days there was no real reason to change them.
playstation was offering Gran Turismo 5, LBP, Valkyria Chronicles, Wipeout HD, Heavy Rain (at the time) Tekken 6 and FF13 oddly enough, these were the games I wanted to play and were not going to appear on a 360 so why would I buy a 360 when I knew these games weren't gonna be there?
PS3 has ps1 BC whilst the 360 doesn't (no really?!) eventhough I have a ps2 and to an extent a ps3 with ps2 BC would have cemented the deal but I can't have everything.
I already own a psp, psps and 3s work well together, a lot better than 360s and psps or maybe that's just my opinion.
I did not approve of how MS decided to randomly dump the original Xbox which got me thinking, "if the 360 fails for whatever reason, would they unceremoniously dump this as well?" IMO Sony is more likely to stick with a console than MS from what i've seen (feel free to disagree).
to a lesser extent there's also RROD from what I hear, YLOD is more infrequent than RROD so I opted to play it safe.
From that stand point the "$1000" (nicely inflatted figure there btw) is better than the "$199" console.
final note, cynically speaking the 360 is dirt cheap and has to as someone said in an earlier post effectively "bribe" some folks to favour their console, it doesn't sit well with me, maybe it's just me being paranoid but...
