I have the opposite thoughts. Last gen I waited for the PS3 to be cheaper mainly for FFXIII and other potential games, all those games ended up on 360 as well and at the time, 360 was flying high with it's JRPG exclusives, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Dead Rising, Dead or Alive etc. I thought towards the end of last gen most 3rd Party developers would release their games on as many systems  in 8th gen as they could to maximise profits, so it would be first party that defined a console. So far this gen, it is the same as start of 7th gen, while there are some multiplatform, there are big named 3rd Party exlusives. 

I think Xbone will struggle beyond 3rd party developers exclusives which might not be there for long. Their first party line up I feel is weaker than Sony and Nintendo, even with Halo and Froza (and now Gears I guess).

I agree, PS3 focus on gamers made me want a PS4

I have to agree. Coming out of the PS2 era i was not happy with Sony at all. I shifted to the cheaper and just as capable X360. Those first years, it really was the right decision but things took a turn around with the years. Sony commited more to their first party software and focus on the gamer.

The sucess of the PS4 is the clear choice of the people. They have clearly said they dont want to be forced into something they arent prepared for and they want a focus on games. It pleases me to see it that we can still slam the table and say "NO".
