This is quality vs quantity. It is like two kinds of people where they go to a restaurant and one prefers more food for less money and less quality, or less food for more money but more quality. People who actually enjoy food prefer taste over quantity, people who actually enjoy gaming, prefer a few but great games to a large library of shovelware. |
Black and white with no shades of grey.
This reasoning can make sense as long as these platforms have a comparable amount of games, but in my opinion it's not reasonable anymore if, for instance, platform 2 had 10 great and 10 good games, while platform 1 had 5 great and one hundred good games (over the course of 6-7 years).
If quality vs quantity was all that matters and we just say we prefer quality, we would be better off owning a platform with only one game worth 100% and we would ignore a platform that has 1000+ 89% games.
There's no doubt that quality matters as well. How much it matters is up to personal preferences.
I know I prefer a good restaurant where I can have a lot of different and good stuff for 20-30 euro over a restaurant where they only serve the best 1oz of tenderloin I've ever tasted for approximately the same price. I'd still be hungry.
