I had a PSone, after the ps2 launched, an xbox a year before the 360 launched, and a 360 5 years after it initially released, I'll be grabbing my first console at launch this fall with the Xbox one. I made up my choice, only because I've followed xbox since launch and personally have never had a problem, the ps3 slim I did own for a few months froze on us quite a bit, But to be honest these consoles aren't made like the older ones. I'll possibly grab a PS4 a few months or years after launch. Only because they'll both be doing what I want from them, so no real rush. Like you stated above, We get the consoles we want, that we enjoy, not the ones our friends enjoy. Don't purchase an xbox because your friends like it, if you like playing uncharted but decided not to buy a ps3. Whichever console comes on top this time, won't matter, like the Sony CEO stated months ago, "It doesn't matter who launches first, in a few years we'll just upgrade the specs"
