What affects your system preference?

What affects your preference in system?  Is it graphics/horsepower?  Extra features and design (the design of the console itself and the design of the controller?  Games?  The company (will you not buy a certain console because it's made by a certain company or will you only buy a certain console because it's made by a certain company?)  All of the above?

For me, it's about the games.  A console could have the best graphics in the world, but if it has crappy games I won't buy it.  I like a certain type of videogames, which is why I go with Nintendo consoles and Xboxes; I like action adventures, shooters of all types, and platformers.

What do you guys think?

Games take up most of my decision but I also have to look at everything else.  Company is probably the least important to me because I know they're just here to make money, not to care about me or other consumers but I take into consideration which companies I've had trouble with in the past.Tiefster

Yeah, same here.  I look at everything, but most of it's games.

It's most definitely the games that make the decision of which console I like.  And last generation I jumped around so much whenever I was playing a game, that all 3 (PS2, Xbox and GC) were awesome.  PS2 had Kingdom Hearts and Metal Gear Solid, Xbox had Halo and Fable, and the GC had Zelda and Metroid. 

Games are also the reason I have not bought a current-gen system yet.  Not because there aren't any good games for the systems, but because there are an equal amount of games for each of them that I want so I can't decide which I would be better off with getting.  I'm swaying towards the PS3 at the moment because of FFvsXIII and MGS4, but the 360 will have Halo 3, Fable 2, and Mass Effect, and the Wii will have SSBB. (note there are more games for each of those systems, just listed a few.)

games for sure
