I've never "switched brands". I've always bought Nintendo. Then again, I've also gamed on other platforms for most of my life as well. My first ever gaming experiences were in the arcades, an Atari 2600, and a Tandy PC. The NES was my gaming bible, but I continued to love arcade games, I dabbled in Genesis/Turbo Graphx, I was all set to buy a Dreamcast until I found out the Castlevania game I so badly wanted got cancelled (because Konami and Igarashi are morons). I never did buy a Gamecube, though I played the games I really wanted at my friends' houses. I eventually did get a used PS2, and even later bought a PS3 (after I bought a Wii).
And on top of that I've continued playing games here and there on PC my entire life.
But I don't think anything would ever "make me switch" from Nintendo being my main "brand", as it were. Reason? Because I can always count on them to come out with games I enjoy playing.
