HD console gamers - what would it take for you to switch to the opposing console?

[Kresnik]

I've thought about buying a 360 (not switching :P) many, many times because of two reasons: a) A few of my friends are there, b) Halo.

There's a couple of other minor things I'd buy if I had a 360 as well - Viva Pinata & Project Gotham Racing are the two that spring to mind, although I noticed a PC port of Viva Pinata on amazon the other day.

But anyway, I'm digressing from the question. I would have no problem buying a 360, and probably will one day once the price is right. But to make me "switch" completely away from PS3?

There would have to be a bigger variety in games. I want platformers (both 2D and 3D), kart racers, arcadey-racers, hack 'n' slashers, JRPG's etc. Both systems offer me multi-plats, so they'd have to offer me something better on top of that.

I actually - all fanboyism aside - think Microsoft did a pretty good job of offering different experiences at the start of the generation. Lost Odyssey for a JRPG, Banjo Kazooie for a 'platformer', PGR for an arcadey racer etc. But that support seems to have completely dried up in favour of yearly sequels to established franchises.

If they returned to their older model of provision, I'd definitely be more interested in owning a 360.
