I'm a big Nintendo fan and only had Nintendo consoles since I was little. I have all of them, except for the 3DS and I never owned another system.
Of course I played on other consoles, especially PS2 and Mega drive at some friend's house but my savings always went for Nintendo.
Even on PS2, I always was more attracted by Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank than GTA and stuff like that.
Nowadays I have a salary and I could buy a PS4/XOne but I'm not interested in what they have to offer. Just Some little regrets like Horizon Zero Down or Ori and the will of the wisps but that's pretty much it.
I guess what I like is what some flagship Nintendo franchises represent to me, as I played them while growing up. Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash and Metroid to name a few.
I always feel like Nintendo goes the extra mile when they do games. Splatoon for example is not just a regular 3rd person shooter. It has some more advanced gameplay mechanics than the usual shooter. Or with Metroid Prime as a FPS. Same goes for platformers and adventure games. I mean, for me, BOTW is what Ubisoft tried to achieve for years with Assassin's Creed without completely succeding.
I also think that Nintendo is more about gameplay than everything else. For example every Mario game has it's own mechanics and it's always very carefully introduced.
I love their ideas in general too and their concept with the Switche made a game like The Witcher 3 appealing to me. I couldn't care less about graphics in this game, but I could play it everywhere et whenever I wanted and that's something no one else can offer.
The gaming experience is very different from XONE/PS4 in my opinion. I can't really see the difference between PS4 and Xone in terms of experience and in the light of how I like to play videogames.
In my opinion, and that's only mine, Nintendo does it better.
