My step-father's console was the original Xbox, so that's pretty much the first console I played on. After I moved in with my uncle, I played his original Playstation. I moved in with my father after that, he had a PS2. Moved to my grandparents shortly after, then I had a Gameboy Advance, then a DS Lite. Later, I bought a Xbox 360 because I grew up with the original Halo, and wanted to play 3. I've had the same Xbox since then, (I've had it since a while after it's release.) and I've never encountered problems with it. Runs as smoothly as the day I got it, which is very smooth.
Thus, I have no reason to hate on any of the company's. (I also have a gaming PC, which I also enjoy using.) I also have a Wii. As for what I'll be getting for the 8th Gen, it's PS4. The exclusives it has, plus the Xbox One's monstrous release flop, makes it more desirable in my opinion. I'll also likely be getting the Wii U at some point. (In a few days, actually.) Really, if I had the room in my apartment and the cash, I'd just get all 3. They all seem very nice to me. Although, the PS4 is a gaming console, while the Xbox One is a entertainment console. But I don't watch TV or movies, so the PS4 is the one for me.
