5th Gen - N64/PS1 - Didn't buy a Saturn because I didn't know much about it.
6th Gen - GCN/PS2/DC - Didn't buy a XB because I didn't really care for it. I could play Halo on PC, and I liked Metroid Prime better anyway. I wasn't really aware of the non-Halo exclusives.
7th Gen - I bought them all

8th Gen - Going to go back to my Nintendo/Sony roots. I'll still likely get a Xbone, but not until late in the gen. The main reasons are:

a) I'm tired of all these Halo's and Forza's, I don't feel 2 years is long enough of a period to justify a new racing game because not much will change, and not many new cars will release. Plus, as much as I like Halo, I don't always want to play it, but I feel that's MS's strategy
b) I can't afford it. I like to play online a couple hours a month, with maybe 2-3 month gaps. XBLG is just to expensive, I literally pay over $1 an hour with the system they have. Why pay when PSN is free? Plus, this used game fee. I buy most of my games for $20 a peice, and on XBL, 6 year old games still sell for $35 (Halo 3, Fable 2). I can't afford a system which costs hundreds of dollars, and then $40 a game for annual or biannual releases (what Forza/Halo are atm).
c) Reliability, I've never had a system so prone to breaking as the 360. I bought an extended warrenty with my 360, and ended up with an HDMI model, which has lasted about 3 years so far (opposed to 1.5 years in old models), and it's already breaking. Why buy a One anytime soon if it won't last the gen?
d) Not a dedicated gaming machine. I don't want to pay for a system which acts as a TV HUB (In USA only too, not in Canada). I don't want some fancy Kinect interfact. I don't want a camera pointed at me at all times. So why pay for all this? I'll wait until the price of the console justifies the gaming machine, I'm not paying for gimmicks I won't use.
