Well I think its down to nostalgia for me, as a year or so after PSone was out I got my first job. My first paycheque I bought my own PSone, it was mine, I earned it and paid for it and they had always been good to me (though I didnt get a 7th generation console till late, even then is was a PS3 just as the slim came out).
I should have clarified in my first post though, the reason I went from 'I might get an XBox one' too 'not touching that with a barge pole!' wasnt because of anything Microsoft did, it was because of what Sony did. I really was expecting Sony to follow suite with MS and have some kind of DRM, though not quite as severe, something. I honestly thought after Microsoft went ahead with it, Sony would almost have been backed into a corner and forced too or lose 3rd party support.
It wasnt until Sony came out and said no on all accounts, and also the PS4 would be cheaper I reached the conclusion that there was no good reason to get an XBox. |
Well said ... I find it makes little sense to get both, to be honest. They're very similar and third party exclusives have run their course, unlike the beginning of last gen (seemingly at the time), so it is down to exclusives. I prefer Sony's exclusives a LOT more. I only dig Halo and Gears on X. With the PS4 being more powerful, cheaper and easier to dev for that makes it even more so. I'll get the X much later in the cycle when it is cheap.
