This is a nice answer...

And my love for PS3 started with Genesis... as child i couldn't have 2 consoles and my dad bought us a Mega Drive (Genesis)... so i only played Super Nintendo (SNES) when i where in my friends house, so never were attached to Nintendo... i remember the chaos that SSF2 and MK being released multiplat (were exclusive to each console by the time)...

When i were 14 i saved enough money to buy my PS1 (200$, in US where 50~100$, Taxes is a B*tch) there weren't even buzz to N64... since the first GT to now i'm in love... as some said before me, Sony never left me behind with games... had 50 PS1, 150 PS2 and crossed 25 PS3 titles off all genres and parties...

My prefered games were never in other console... and i don't like shooters very much, so never tough Xbox were for me... i play kid/casual games casually =] so Wii/Nintendo isn't really what i need...

If you want to talk about prefered games we can go on =]

And sorry if i looked rude too you, didn't revised my post...

Well, it was kinda hard to come off as nice originally when I was probing with a speculative question, with "off the top of my head" and picking out the flagship reasons.  This apparently didn't fit the Playstation brand.  My question was a bit of an outside to near religious devotion I have seen towards the brand I didn't get why.  I understood others, but not this one.  Sony is a late comer, but took over for awhile.  I just didn't get the devotion to the brand and asked why.  For me, the Playstation brand became dominant, so I bought stuff for it.  I did this while watching Sega go under, a brand I happened to like.  So, the question is what lies at the heart of the devotion to the brand that some have, that I didn't get.  Mascots are merely shortcuts to the answer in question, but don't fully fit.

In regards to this, the only bit of bluntess I was personally offended by is people telling me to take the Playstation signature at the bottom (supposed to be next to the XBox one) as if it is some sort of badge of devotion someone is supposed to be fit to wear or not.  I have them in the signature, because I thought it was a way to show people what I am playing without needing to update it.  And yes, it shows Ratchet, whom I like as a character.

The tag question is just because if it doesn't show trophies it's really possible that you don't play so it could be a "fake" that you know a lot of people use here when say that they aren't biassed because they have all 3 system, but don't know a game that isn't hated or with great advertisiment...

And i see your point, VG shouldn't bring loyalty as religion... but people like to attach to things... and about later comers, M$ came later, and Sega lived less than PS and still have a lot of fans even today after being dead for almost 10 years (at least console-wiser, altought i still love my Genesis, play Sega games and always cared more for Sonic than Mario - i can't understand someone liking to play 20 games with the same guy each Gen.... it was like up to Wii to a game sell on Nintendo system it should be Mario's something - unless it were Zelda or some other quality games) and i thrill for speed not pasta...

But I think everybody said right, the diversity is what catter to us.
