I did like Sony, but they went off the rails after the PSOne for me... until they go back to those days where they kept quality control (no games with a budget lower than x, no games that might be too niche, etc...) I'll play for the only team that does. I left Nintendo after the GameCube for the same too...

And if Xbox falls off the train as well, I guess it's bye bye console gaming for me. Hopefully, American companies are more stringent with standards...

I was on the Xbox 360 crossing my fingers they would not fall off the train (they skirted the line with some JP games that were shovelware)...

You sound like you have a very hard time identifying if a game is for you or not. Every game I've decided to pick up after reading/watching reviews and reseraching about it has turned out to be a game I like, with few exceptions. And the few times it wasn't, it had nothing to do with the budget. For example, Final Fantasy XIII. High budget game. Didn't like it.
On the contrary, there being so many games on PS2 just gave me that many more options. I tried and ended up liking more than one obscure game that never got localized in the west that I never would have played otherwise.

I don't mind obscure games, but there's an obvious difference between those and shovelware.
