Funny how many responses have mirrored what I was thinking of posting - unless you play games to review them professionally, I don't think there's time for more than two consoles (plus a handheld if you are away enough). Nintendo has set itself up well in this regard as 'the second system' (and handheld), as it has the least overlap with the other platforms.

My guess is that even people with all systems will gravitate towards one for multiplats, and the bias against certain games will still exist - not because the game isn't available, but because they were too busy with other games to bother.


I kind of agree on this. Every generation I will typically buy that gen's Nintendo console and handheld and the PlayStation for that gen. Other than a 2-year flirtation with the 360 thanks to some early-gen Japanese exclusives, there is no incentive for me to invest in Xbox, because I don't care for Microsoft's first-party and the third-party stuff is generally also on PlayStation, with a few third-party exclusives on PlayStation that I like.
