Well, I had the choice a few years ago to go PlayStation or Xbox. I went back and forth a number of times. I hemmed and hawed. Many of the games I wanted to play were multi plat and a check out a few exclusives.
Some of the things I considered:
What could I do with it? (streaming media was the same at the time, Blu-ray was a plus for PS3)
Which had the better controller – this seemed to be in Microsoft’s favor in general consises.
Where is the future – I saw Microsoft being more creative, innovative and daring than Sony. This was probably the biggest point.
Friends – Most of my friends had PlayStations. So that went in PS3’s favor.
Company Philosophies? Well, that it’s an easy one. Nintendo has donated to build a hospital, Microsoft and Bill Gates give billions, and well, Sony didn’t win that one.
Minor Influence – was users online. One seem more likely to like things and talk about that, the other more likely to trash others. People trashing others are tedious. Probably 4-5 users here directly influenced that decision.
