I'm still going to take a wait-and-see approach with the X1, even with all the policy changes they've made in recent months. The 360 was my first MS console and I enjoyed it immensely in its first couple years, especially with all the great JRPG exclusives they had (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, etc). However, by year 4 or so the # of exclusives have really dwindled down and was basically left with Halo, Gears, Forza, and Fable. I basically haven't touched my 360 the last 3 years outside of the aforementioned games. This is just my opinion and experience with the 360.

I appreciate the fact the Sony is still showing a lot of support for the PS3, even with the launch of the PS4 just a few months away. This is year 7 of the PS3 and we're still getting a lot of exclusives like Ni no Kuni, Gran Turismo 6, The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, Rain, Tales of Xillia 1+2, Rachet & Clank, Dragon's Crown, etc.

While the X1's lineup of exclusives in year 1 look very impressive, I'm a little concerned what their support will be like a few years into the console's life cycle. Will they still invest $1 billion every year into securing exclusives like they did for year 1 of the X1? or is it going to follow the same path as the 360? So for me personally, I feel that the PS4 will be a better long-term investment because they've shown to me that they will support their consoles well beyond the first 4-5 years of the life cycle.

I may still get the X1 eventually, but it probably won't be until their first price drop at the earliest. Releasing a Kinect-less SKU will also make the console more appealing to me as I have zero interest in motion gaming.

My feelings exactly. Word for word.

Get out of my head :P
