For me its all about the games... it really doesn't matter which platform it goes on, if its good enough then I will get that system.
I got an Xbox originally for Dead Rising, Wii for Wii sports, and PS3 cause i was bored of the wii :)
I think there is definitely some bias in exclusives, and perhaps companies like Insomniac get some grief because they made games just for Sony. But Fuse was awful and Sunset overdrive, no one has actually seen any gameplay footage. So is it right that after Fuse and just a video trailer some people are unfairly criticising SO... it's a little unfair, but to be expected (not saying that there aren't some people who are giving them grief for being ex Sony, but their track record hasn't been all that great).
But i think the opposite is also true, that some games are unfairly praised without actually seeing any footage, because its on the platform of choice.
I think Killzone is an alright franchise, but I really liked the graphics in the new one. Infamous, was rough around the edges but has a certain charm, and the new one looks great. Both games footage has been shown and you can understand people who have purchased previous releases being excited. Cannot understand someone getting overly excited by the Order or by Sunset Overdrive, when we have seen nothing.
The one that does have footage, that I am not getting right now is Titanfall. Just looks like multiplayer COD maps with mechs, but is getting praised all over the place. Not convinced theres been enough to justify that at the moment. I thought the Destiny stuff looked much better - though that was in a very controlled play through, which again is not enough to justify lots of praise at this stage.
The game that i have seen the most footage of so far is Infamous, and that has definitely impressed me. If this moved to Xbox, I would be upset (because i would have to buy a second console to play it)... but based on what I did for Dead Rising/Alan Wake, I would do it.
