Just as Sony isn't doing everything the same as they did last gen, neither is Microsoft. The repeated comments about the future game prospects being better for the PS4 is just wishful thinking for the Sony faithful. We have no idea which console will have the better or more diverse lineup in 3 or 5 years time. In fact, we have no idea which games will turn out to be great either. There are factors that make it more likely, but that's it.
So choosing a launch system because of launch games ISN'T stupid. If you're going to buy it at launch then you obviously want to enjoy it at launch. If not, you would just wait. There's nothing wrong with what S.T.A.G.E.'s dormmates are doing here. In fact, it shows how the normal world outside of these nutty forums behaves.
