Nintendo and MS fans: ever wanted a PS3?

Not sure if I count but I do consider myself first and foremost a Nintendo fan.

For the last gen (Gen 7 Wii/PS3/360) I bought the Wii at launch and just picked up a PS3 this year. I was very happy with this setup. It took most of the generation for the libraries of the 360/PS3 to become good enough (for my tastes) to warrant a purchase. I weighed both options based on price, games and bundled features and went with the PS3 as it had almost all of the same games I was interested in on the Xbox plus a few extra (I want to say it was like 80 on the 360 and around 100 on the PS3 and 75 or so of those overlapped) plus it came with 1 year PS+ and a larger hard drive so I went with it over the 360.

For this gen I bought a Wii U and am quite happy with that purchase, towards the end of the generation (probably slightly after I purchase the Wii U's successor) I will weigh both the XBoxOne and PS4 and decide which has the better games that I want to play and the most of them and which is better in price and features (at that time) and I'll probably pick one up.

But then again I think I am happy with Nintendo consoles because 1) I also have nintendo handhelds to play on 2) I regularly replay older games that I love and explore new (to me) retro games and 3) While I do not keep up anything resembling a good gaming rig I still find myself playing some smaller, older PC games (or replaying games from the era when I did keep up with the then current PC games). I do all this with a full time (time demanding) job, a house and family responsibilities so I am lucky to buy 3-4 new full priced games each year (although through various other channels seem to always be adding to my 300+ backlog of games to play)

Interesting choices, cool to see WiiU owners happy about it too.
