I think this is the first generation were I have spent more time using the PC than I have a console... from my perspective consoles are for the exclusives only, I wouldn't even think of buying a multi-platform game on a console. I have a feeling this wont change for next gen... I'll probably end up getting a Wii U and one of the other two depending on their announcements.

I still can't believe that people voted for others except exclusives. You guys are very delusional, it's usual in System Wars.

That explains why 360 sold more than PS3. Nobody in the real world cares about PS3s lame exclusives.

New signature confirmed. Thanks.

Because it's not as clean cut as that in the real world, Exclusives are not the only reason a person might choose one console over another, i Prfer the 360 because it has more WRPG's than the Ps3 and most of those WRPG's are multiplat like risen, Ego draconis and the witcher 2, other people might have cost constraints some people buy them because they want the first next gen console out of the gate, some people because all there friends chose that particular console, like Pug-nast said earlier, there are so many different reasons for people buying a particular item it doesn't really bare thinking about but one thing is certain buying a console for games that are 'not on the other console' regardless of whether they are multiplat or not is just as Valid a reason as any other, it's the reason i bought mine.

Okay. I got my PS3 because of its kick-ass exclusives.

People who buy systems for their friends and 'sales' are very sad. They are not listening to their own hearts.

Thats not entirely true,in there hearts they might Have bought the consoles specifically to be sociable with there mates because thats what they enjoy the most is gaming with friends, Sales i agree with you on, anybody who buys something just because it is selling well is clearly a muppet like these people that buy things just for the sake of it on Price drop TV.

Thats a baseless assumption, i am sure that in the real world plenty of people care about Ps3 exclusives, i see plent of people on here who care and they do actually live in the real world.

Yeah, maybe I should give back what I said about friends. But friends are not the reason why I got my consoles. It's all about the games and personal entertainment.

Yep, guys who buy things just because they are popular are morons.

if you buy the same console your friends do, you end up saving a fair bit of cash if you all loan games to one another.I did that with Red faction so glad now i didnt put downn £40 on it.

Plenty of people buy consoles because their friends convince them to. Of course, they usually end up not playing it anyway.

Bad games are fun when played with friends, so it makes sense for that to be a factor.

It's like them convincing me to buy an inferior console. I'd say no. I want a console where quality games are.

Games > friends.

I'd never put games before friends tbh..its alway great when you want to blast a multiplayer and you can always rely on someone to play with.Spark up a cig, get a beer and shout nonsense at one another in party chat never gets old.

Well, we are talking about real life friends here, or so I thought. It isn't like choosing a different console requires you to never see them again.

Great games > mediocre games with friends, perhaps. But mediocre games with friends > medocre games without friends, any day of the week.

Games are mediocre, with so few exceptions they should not even be considered because they come about with such infrequency that they can't be relied upon.

Friends should be in the poll, for quite a few people I know that's a big reason as to what console they get.soulitane
This I know a lot of people that get a console just because all their friends get that system.

It depends if the purchaser already owns a console or two. If it's the first console, then library matters. If it's the third, s/he is probably buying it for the exclusives.

In the real world library is #1 and price/performance is #2.

PS2 was excellent system because of vast library.

PS3 came out with basically no library and they lost third-party support due to their architecture.

It was more expensive to develop for. So ppl got a 360 for the library and it snowballed.

After PS3 got a library going, it sold more evenly.

Its easy, if your poor and/or suffer from an attention deficit disorder get a console.

tenaka2
That's a stupid notion. I have both a PS3 and gaming PC, and I know that if I had only the superior PC I'd be missing out on so many PS3 and console games, along with blu-ray movies, and more.
