That's a terrible reason to buy consoles.
Hype might be a factor because you can't judge a game before playing it, but brand? I think brand only plays an important role in console buying if you're basing your buy in expected future games/customer service/quality. I.e. if you buy a PS4 because you recognize late life PS3 support and exclusive content throught the life, that's a good reason to buy brand specific consoles. Same with avoiding an XBO because of 360 reliability issues.

I buy consoles, largely for the games, and a bit about the brand. I'll buy Sony over MS this time because of th bad experience I've had with the 360 and the good experiences I've had with PS1-3/PSP. I'll admit, the number of quality exclusives will be roughly the same in the end, but I know Sony will support the PS4 late life, and it won't break on me.
P.S. I bought my 360 largely because of Gears of War/Lost Planet, and I plan to buy a Wii U for X, Pikmin, and Smash Bros.
