How did you choose between PS2 and Xbox (or PS3 and 360)?

I don't know a lot of people who own both Sony and Microsoft consoles. For me, the PS1 came out first so when PS2 and Xbox were released, I stuck with Sony--then the PS3 and Xbox 360 arrived and I also continued with the Sony brand.

There were very few games I wanted that were exclusive to Xbox/Xbox 360 and I really had no complaints about my Playstation consoles. I did have an N64 though (Mario!) and I also bought a Wii (for family/party games).

Do you own consoles from both Sony and Microsoft? When a new console was released, how did you decide which one to get?

Because I was hated the Playstation, I went with the Xbox.  I hated the playstation because I was still an Nintendo Fanboy and saw the Playstation as the competition for the N64.  Sony was (and still is) evil.

I went with the PS2 because I won it at a party right after it was released. I really enjoyed it, but I bought the 360 to play online with some friends. They all had 360s so that's what I went with. I have all 4 of the consoles, but the PS2 and the 360 get 99% of the playtime versus the other 2.

foxhack:
PS2: Because I already had a Dreamcast and it was dead, I wanted something backwards compatible with the PS1, and didn't want anything to do with Nintendo home consoles after the N64 (at the time).

Playstation has been my favorite for years. I actually do have all the systems but the Xbox/360 hardly have any games that appeal to me (D&D and Morrowind are the exception). Xbox systems are known for problems and mine were no different. Our 360 doesnt even work at this time and only 1 of the 2 Xbox systems still work. The playstation always has the greatest available game line up and the best set of controllers ever! :D
