@fighter: You wouldn't be saying that if the poll was in favor of the 360, but oh well, I'm not gonna waste my time. You trying to pull the card of "he's exempt because of his sig" alone shoots your argument down, because I can name some members here who reek of bias against the PS3 (obvious by their history). But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, champ.
Besides, it's pretty even now, I believe.
Anyways, OT: I've been a Nintendo fan since childhood, and I started this gen with a Wii and DS only. Really, in 2007-mid 2008, I was thinking of getting an Xbox 360 first for Halo 3, Fable II, Xbox Live Arcade, and the JRPGs/WRPGs released on it. I didn't have the money for a PS3, even though I REALLY wanted to play MGS4 more than anything else at the time.
But then when I heard of Demon's Souls in late 2008, as well as Valkyria Chronicles, I was sold. The PS3 also had Killzone 2 coming, and sadly, that was a disappointment to me, as I loved the first game.
I also NEED GT5, but since it's taking too long to release, I thought maybe I could leave the PS3 for a later purchase, but with MGS4 and VC amongst the other mentioned games, I simply had to get a PS3. Besides, a good number of my favorites this gen are multiplat, so why not get the console with the great multiplats and best exclusives first?
I got a 360 months later. I'm not bothered by the XBL pricing, but I don't know...a lot of their exclusives let me down. Halo is great, the MP is loads of good fun, and so is Gears. But Fable II, I didn't enjoy as much as the first, though I like the art direction. Rare have lost their magic. Lost Odyssey had a great story, but I couldn't really get into the gameplay much. Blue Dragon was just terrible. And a good number of 360 games are also on PC, which I have 24/7 access to. But the XBLA is great.
So while I like the Xbox 360, I favor PsWii.
Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!
Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
