PS4 for gran turismo, God of war, uncharted, final fantasy, ratchet and clank, dragon quest, resident evil, ni-oh, anime style games, lots of jrpgs, possible return of sly cooper and crash bandicoot, controller, superior third party multi plats.

So mostly I guess you could say exclusives is why I went with ps4.

Also brand loyalty. Been with ps since 1997. Never leaving.

You don't really need five polls to accomplish this. Lets just look at sales charts.

PS4: 2 out of the top 20 games are exclusives. We can logically reach the conclusion that most people buy the PS4 to play multiplats.

Xbone: 4 of the top 20 games are exclusives. We can logically reach the conclusion that most people buy the Xbone to play multiplats.

Wii U: 19 of the top 20 games are exclusives. The only exception is ZombiU, which recently went MP. We can logically reach the conclusion that most people buy the Wii U for exclusives.

That was easy. And way more credible for your research than forum polls.

Doesn't really answer the question.you csn play Multiplats on PC/PS4/X1, what drives people to pick a specific platform?

My brother got an Xbox because that's what his friends had and he wanted to play them online. Having decided that he'd get sn Xbox, Halo 5 was the game pushed him to actually buy the console when he did.

Because, imo, Sony releases a more broad arrangement of games that i like to play. Never been a huge Xbox fan, as well.

Xbox One to play with my mates as we all had Xbox 360's ( i went through 5) and PS4 for Exclusives and 3rd party single player games.

Although there are some games or at least game ideals that Microsoft have over Sony (see Halo 1-4 and Gears of War series) overall I have always preferred the Sony exclusives.

I do wish that Sony (or at least Sony exclusive developers) would take some of the ideals of the staple Microsoft brands and incorporate them into a franchise. For example a first/third party science fiction series with both local and online co-operative as well as competitive modes that is easy to pick up and play.
