Bandorr said: I did!. NES -> SNES -> 64 (a little). No game cube, no wii for a long time, no wii U for a long time. And as it seems - no switch for a long time. I did ps1 -> ps2 -> really long period before ps3 (2010) -> PS4. I believe the PS2->Ps3 era was FF11 and everquest. I don't recall playing anything else during that period. Huge fan of the DS, and 3ds though. I didn't actually get that much use out of my psp. Maybe that is where my time went, I'll have to look when the DS came out. |
My path was NES, SNES ... and then I jumped to PS1 when FF7 released. I was bitter at first but the content on the PS1 made me a believer and it became my most favorite console.
That's when I realized that third-party content is the most important factor for me.
I also skipped the PS3 for much of the generation. I got into PC MMOs with Ragnarok and WoW and didn't even think about console gaming for a few years.
The truth is, Nintendo lost me and then did nothing to win me back. It's as simple as that. I was on Nintendo's "side" when the PS1 was released. I didn't jump to Playstation on a whim. I'll take the games I want to play over any kind of company loyalty any day of the year.
