Wide range of exclusives that are range from popular genre's like TPS and FPS, to less popular ones like hack and slash, to completely different experiences like heavy rain. it also gets amazing third party support, so i can play the games that i love like RDR, max payne or AC2 it.

with every new gen i want new IP's not old franchises that i played before. and the best console manufacturer that does that is sony.


Is this really what is important though?  I mean, you can put make up new characters but the gameplay could be the exact same we've seen before.
That's why I like Nintendo, incorporating new game mechanics to existing franchises.  That is what makes them iconic.

Anyways, for me, it's Nintendo. I like how they offer different ways to play games, I love their franchises best, and the 3rd party support that they do receive is just an added bonus!

you cant fully break away from the bonds of previous games without creating new IPs. no matter what happens mario will always be mario, and that feeling he has, has to stay. also, games are not just pure gameplay, story, atmoshpere, premise, are all important, sure, some dont give a shit about them, but many others do. 

i dont see any benefit from using old characters with new gameplay mechanices over new characters with new gameplay mechanices. creating new characters also opens the gate to new gameplay mechanices, as developers try to explore this new characters abilities, powers, strenghts and weeknesses. old characters dont have that advantages, mario will always be mario, and he must remain that way.
