I got PS2 because it played DVDs and I didn't have a DVD player at the time and I always liked gaming. Not sure I would have got back into console gaming otherwise. PS2 was the first console I ever bought myself, though I did borrow PS1 long term, and way back in time I was flatting with people at university who had a NES (or SNES maybe?). And I don't like Microsoft. But then I got into Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and God of War as the main exclusive franchises on PS2, and of course I had played Crach Bandicoot on PS1, so was well disposed to Naughty Dog. When PS3 came along I hoped there would be a Jak 3, but Ratchet and Clank, The Valkyria Chronicles and God of War were enough to keep me in the PS family. Now it's still Ratchet and Clank, but add to that Uncharted and TLOU as the main exclusives that keep me with PS, and hopefully an evolution of God of War beyond Kratos' story, which I feel was well wrapped up in GoWIII, albeit GoW:A was fun it was a side-track and rather unnecessary. And I still don't like MS.
