I look at the wii and only see about 4 games i'd want to own, used or new. I look at the 360 and see exclusived I don't really care about. Likewise, the PS3's exclusives aren't much worth mentioning, but there's a loyalty that deserves respect under the PS3.
No need to go on and on about how the PS2 dominated the last gen market for nearly the entire run (and still selling). But before that there was the PS1. Sony, unlike Microsoft, did not abandon its fanbase, as the PS2 was nearly 99%ish compatible with all previous PS2 games, and had a nifty speed-up and texture smoothing option, which really didn't need to be in there at all, but they threw it at us anyway at reduced cost.
The PS3, though initially bumpy with compatibility, now with firmware updates, can play nearly every PS2 game without error (it not all - I don't have every single PS2 game, so I can't speak for them). Microsoft on the other hand, had shit patches for Xbox games, which eventually cut out altogether, as the Xbox production line was completely abandoned (live service aside, since you're fucking paying for it). That still of course, hasn't prevented certain game servers from closing.
The Sony's PS2, and the PS3 hasn't abandoned its userbase, the quality of their consoles, despite criticism from the family oriented and butthurt pc-lineage fancamp, has literally been exponentially better than the competition. People who fail to consider that Sony, whose previous video game enterprises were a few games on the SNES, and developer aid with Squaresoft, has come around into the console developing business, and have mastered it better than Nintendo or Sega have (in terms of quality, not quantity, which is the economical tactics that Nintendo's always been touch and go with).
