I realized a while ago that I was actually a multiconsole owner from my first gen up til now. Had a Genesis and SNES. Had a PS1 and N64. Had a Dreamcast and PS2. Had an Xbox 360 and PS3. Now I have a PS4, so it follows that I'd get an XBone at some point.
Thing is, in gen 4 and 5, my parents bought my consoles. Gen 6, parents still bought the PS2 but I bought the Dreamcast (it was going out of production. $50 was easy money). PS3 I "worked" for. I put quotes around around "worked" because I had it bought for me then paid it off doing odd jobs, because I wouldn't have saved up $400 otherwise.
Now....considering that I technically earned that PS3, the reason I got the 360 was that I came upon $200 as a so-called gift. So I traded a few games (MGS4 amongst them and had released earlier that year) and scored a 360.
I bought my PS4 up front, outright. Again, earned that one. Unless the XBone has some of the most compelling games ever, it'd have to be a repeat situation as the 360: me randomly coming into some money. I probably wouldn't have gotten a 360, otherwise, last gen. And I'm not going to "earn" an XBone when it's gonna share the multiplats and it's exclusives aren't as appealing to me....right now
