So with the impending new generation of consoles arriving, and in light of a multitude of threads discussing everything from game exclusivity, customer support, and even backwards compatibility (self pat on the back) I thought it would be interesting to discuss not so much what (if any) console you will buy but what is the primary reason that you choose a particular console over another. A nice little poll is included for your convenience.
Ever since the 5th Generation of consoles we've had at least 3 major contenders in the console race (Though the Saturn arguably stumbled right from the starting block). Each time, console gamers ended up needing to make a choice between them, sometimes an easy choice, sometimes it took a lot of research and comparison to come to a final decision, but what is it that you feel has been the one key influence that has impacted your buying choices the MOST?
