I'm an Xbox fan and the 360 is the reason why.
In the 6th gen, I owned everything except an Xbox. Somewhere between 2001 and 2007, my opinion changed. It damn sure wasn't brand loyalty. The games played a major part but the console and the online--the evolution of what the thing could do is what won me over.
Playing Uno online at night with other people (often hot women who didn't mind showing some skin), one vs 100, the new dashboard, Netflix, Kinect--it's like they kept finding more and more power to unlock. To this day, I still have days where the console plays Last.FM or I Heart Radio. It wasn't about console wars. The console just managed to weasel itself into my life in a way the other consoles never could. Best console ever--even though mine broke twice.
