When I was a kid I was able to play a lot of different consoles because of my friends all had different systems.

I had the Master System, my cousin the Mega Drive, my best friend had the SNES and another friend had the PS1.
A neighbour, which wasn't exactly a friend of mine, but kinda of a friend from my bother, had the N64, but I've had very limited contact with it.

I loved both the Mega Drive and SNES, which were a lot more advanced than my Master System, but when I saw my friend play Digimon World on the PS1, it was really something else.

After my console broke because my bother dropped grape juice on it, the nexy year I had a choice to make and it was easy to pick the PS1, after that it was pretty clear that getting the PS was the best choice to make when getting newer consoles, as basically every game I wanted to play was available there.
And after making the switch, not only the 3rd party support was basically 100% there, but Sony own games became my all time favorites, starting with the obvious one.
My favorite game series changed only twice, from Sonic to Pokemon to LoD.

Also it was so cheap to get PS games here because of the piracy, they sold those everywhere, it was actually pretty rare to find original games aside from stores in shopping centers.

Sega consoles were dead and 3D Sonic wasn't nearly as good as 2D Sonic.

Nintendo itself was ok but it was just really not a good choice as the only system I would have.

Microsoft I couldn't care less about, compated to Sega and Nintendo their games had no appeal to me at all. I did consider the 360 because of the piracy but it still was a lot more worthy to get the PS3 and buy used games and not miss on games I REALLY wanted to play like God of War, Disgaea and Gran Turismo.

So yeah, since a kid it was clear to me the PS had the games I wanted to play and it just never stopped being the case.
