Why? I imagine there are brands or business you're loyal to because they treat you well. That's true of virtually everybody. If you don't develop some kind of brand loyalty, I think there's something wrong with you.
I chose a Dreamcast over PS because I believe then and believe now it was a superior system. Sony just did a better job cultivating games and developers and locked up enough exclusives to kill the Dreamcast. I finally got a PS just to play some of the sports games I wanted, and it was a buggy POS. It crashed 50% of the time playing NCAA basketball, and I would have chucked it out the window if I hadn't learned that 90% of the time I could recover from the crash if I opened the CD enclosure while it was running and close it again.
I chose Xbox over the PS2 by default. I wasn't crazy about MS or the way they were running things, but I wasn't going to touch PS again after my experience with the first one. I was happy enough (despite a couple of RRODs) to choose the 360 over PS3, although Sony's pricing and other errors made the decision pretty easy as well.
I'll bet I sit this one out for a while. I can't imagine getting either system in the next 24 months. I'm assuming we'll still see some games for the 360 for a couple of years, but if not I'm satisfied with the current games I have and what's in the pipeline. Right now I imagine I would give the PS4 the nod over Xbox because MS is doing even more things that drive me crazy.
