Im always buyed the sony consoles. Next generation will not be any different. Sony simply has the most titles that appeal to my taste.

Sure the Super Mario Games were also always high quality but im not buying a nintendo console because of mario.

And Microsoft on the other hand has nothing to offer for me this generation so i will pass it next gen too.

I hate Mario. OK, that an exaggeration. I do not like Jump&Runs, so I also dislike Mario. But I buy Nintendo-consoles, because they have Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, F-Zero (hopefully on the Wii-U), Fire Emblem and Smash Brothers. So please don't reduce Nintendo-game-lovers to Mario-fans.

Sony has to offer God of War and Uncharted, maybe Resistance might be good. All other ... meh. The three mentioned will be first games I want, if I buy a Sony-console. As the Vita offers only Drake at the moment, I have no urge to own this.

Microsoft only has Halo, that seems interesting.They clearly have to create more appealing game-franchises.

Nintendo totally owns the other two if it comes to diversity. That's why I'm pretty sure that I will get the Wii-U at some future time.

i find it pretty funny that you jump on the guy for his comment then come back and post this "Microsoft only has Halo"

"Nintendo totally owns the other two if it comes to diversity" really? well excuse me for not seeing it my good man 

nintendo has no racing sims, no tps games like uncharted or gears which i enjoy, etc

and while i do enjoy some nintendo franchises like mario kart, smash bros etc i can find comparable games on other consoles that in some cases i enjoy even more like how i enjoy modnation more than mario kart

in fact i can't really think of a genre that nintendo does that can't be found on other consoles but i can for the hd consoles in relation to nintendo so i don't really get your diversity argument

it all ultimately comes down to personal preference 

You missed a part of the sentence:Microsoft only has Halo, that seems interesting. I might not know about other series, or I might be not interested that much (like Forza).

You say Nintendo don't has a Racer-Reality-Sim like Forza or Gran Tourismo. That might be true (there are rumors about a new game, but at the moment they don't have), but Nintendo has Mario Kart, that is a good Multiplayer-Fun-Racer  and F-Zero (that really needs a new game). Also you say Nintendo misses a shooter like Uncharted or Gears. I don't know both, but do you know Metroid-Prime? It is a good shooter with riddles to solve.

So, what I say is not, that Nintendo  covers everything first-party. But I say they cover more areas with first-party-titles, than Sony and Microsoft do. Surely, that's mostly because Nintendo is longer in videogaming than the two competitors. Also Nintendo started many series in-house, at the time they were abandoned by third-party (N64 and Gamecube). Sony and MS will surely over time develop more game-franchises and buy into developer-studios. But at the moment Nintendo has the advantage in first-party games. That all levels out a bit with third-party. Look, can you really name that much game-franchises for the other two, that I can for Nintendo: Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Pikmin, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus. I surely forgot some.

I think every console has some experiences, that are unique. I think about Flower or The Gunstringer for instance. But NIntendo has to offer usually more of this. That doesn't mean that the other consoles are not interesting, they may be useful alone for third-party or multiplats in HD. But it means I will buy sometimes a Wii-U, if Nintendo publishes at least some of the games I'm interested in on it. And as they have to offer more, that's much more likely. But I will probably buy a second console next generation, but here I'm open to the one, that has to offer the better experience for me.
