Now that the generation is all but over, which console won YOUR heart?

[ps3-sales!]

Well I have a story to tell :)

     A short background. I'm 19, so unfortunately haven't been able to fully experience all video gaming gens to the fullest. Grew up with Nintendo consoles. Never owned the Ps1, but loved my Snes, N64, and Gamecube. Mario Kart, Super Mario 64/Galaxy, Donkey Kong, Super Smash Bros and Pokemon were my games of choice. Sold my gamecube to get a Ps2 and it became my love child (so many memories NFL street 2 and GTA). Obviously, wasn't in "hardcore gamer" mode yet, as I was young and stupid, so I missed out on so many great games (mainly RPG's). 

     It's now 2005. I sell my Ps2 and use the money to have my dad wait out in the cold morning for a launch Xbox 360. CHRISTMAS 2005 RAWKED MUH SAWKS. Call of Duty 2 and Xbox live still holds a place to my heart. Would stay with my beloved 360 until holidays of 2007 playing mainstream titles but missing out on gems like  BIoshock and Mass Effect (still young here), where I felt something was missing. I decided to sell my 360 to join most of my friends who then had Ps3s. Hesitant at first, I now look back at the greatest decision of my gaming life. 

     Almost six long years later, I'm 19 and still enjoying my Ps3 (upgraded to slim in 2010). Some of the things that set it apart include the XMB, download sharing, free online, PlayStation Plus, upgrading my harddrive (currently sitting on 1TB of EPICNESS) and the overall sleekness of the black beauty. 

     Now an educated gamer, I embark on my ever-going quest to experience unique visuals, storytelling, and gameplay that my Ps3 has to offer me. Long over are the days of Call of Duty 2 and Nfl street being stables to my gaming experience. NO. I now long for experiences such as Flower, Journey, Littlebigplanet, Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time, Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia (2008 <3), Skyrim, and Uncharted 2. Looking to add Ni No Kuni to this list hopefully if it lives up to my hype :D

     Although not perfect (PSN hack, large installs, no cross game chat), my PlayStation Three system has offered me an experience of a lifetime that I wouldn't trade for anything else. I strengthened current relationships as well as made completely new ones. All in all, I've almost had to much fun from my Ps3. Which is why I choose it as the console that won my heart this generation. 

     HOWEVER. Now that I'm not a stupid young kid, I'm eager to see what this upcoming generation does for me because it'll be the first that I think I'll be able to fully experience from start to finish :)
