I owned a Sega Genesis console (here in Italy its name was "Megadrive"), and it was fun for me. I owned no more than 14 games. But I played for at least two years with'em.
Then, I owned a PlayStation. Yes, the first trademarked one. I played it, and it was fun. Many people I knew owned a PS because "everyone else has one". For me, it was not like that. It was fun. Period.
Then, it broke. But it was MY fault. I'm not diving into details, but I'd say it could do well for at least 10 years from when it broke.
--Now I'm owning a PSOne. I wanted to play FFVII again, because it was fun to me. I own also other games (Parasite Eve 2, Dino Crisis, Dino Crisis 2...).--
Then I bought a GCN. I thought "Well, let's see what it can do this piece of junk." And definitely, it was a FREAKIN' GOOD piece of junk. I loved the games, and still now I own many of those games and I play them on my Wii, which I bought for a discount at January this year, giving my GCN and other stuff on EBGames. Hardware backwards compatibility is a BIG HIT to me. As well as Virtual console.
Oh, I also own a PS2. And, you know, I played FFXII. It was the most impressive software I ever played. RPG speaking. To me, it pumps PS2's capabilities to its peak (or maybe something less, but it was impressive anyway). I played it for about 200 hours, and finished it. I loved it. But now, that's over. It was good, and now I'm planning to sell a lot of stuff (GBASP, PSP, PS2 plus some games and other stuff) to buy a 360. I want to play DMC4 and RE5 in a future, no matter what. I too love good graphics, but only when there's a good gameplay and a fine longevity.
I know, they're gonna be released on PS3 as well, but guess what, PS3 is too much for me. Price and everything. PS3 is TOO MUCH. So, I think I'm sticking with Microsoft, just this once. But, there's no way I'll ever buy a PS3. For a lot of motivations.

I seriously feel scammed. It's going to sell better ????
I couldn't even sell mine. Took me nearly 3 weeks to find someone who'd buy it off me, while I was offering it for $400 with 4 games. The Wal-Mart near my house has taken down the PS3 display case and unit and thrown the PS3 games on the bottom shelf under the PS2 games.
PlayStation 3....what a joke.

Much like the previous commenter, I would need to see more evidence of what the console can do before spending so much money. My 360 can still blow me away with it's graphical capabilities - GOW and Halo 3 being the 2 obvious examples. For this reason I don't see the advantage of PS3's allegedly better graphical processing abilities yet. In future when I have come to expect even more from games (as inevitably it happens. Remember when you thought Goldeneye was literally as good as it could get?) then I'll think about upgrading but it's not necessary at the moment. Similarly, the difference between 720 and 1080p is only going to sway me when I no longer get the same feeling of next gen from my 360. Same goes for Blu Ray which may or may not go the way of the previously hotly touted Sony MiniDisc. Remember them?
At the end of the day PS3 looks fantastic on paper but a lack of titles on the shelves actually worth playing and the fact that 360 already satisfies all the needs a gamer could ask for (at least for the moment) will make me hold off before buying a PS3.
In the meantime there is Halo online to play to death, Mass Effect just around the corner and COD4 on the horizon (as well as Phantom Hourglass on the DS for those lighter gaming moments) to keep me well and truly happy.
When I'm through with those maybe MGS4 and GT5 will have arrived and there superiority will force me to go and raid my bank account. I really hope they do.
