since support for current gen consoles are going down I'd have gotten a ps 3 with firmware less than 3.5 for around R 3200- 3300

 

That said, I bought a second hand xbox 360 @ R 1400 for the soul purpose of playing naruto ultimate ninja storm 3 when it was released, now I got it on pc and my xbox is sitting at my parents house collecting dust.

I bought my PS3 a while back because I wanted to play Uncharted, GT, and God of War.

I bought PS3 only for Gran Turismo 5. And I recently bought the 360 just for the exclusives, currently got Forza 2-4-horizon, Halo Anniversary-3, Crackdown 1-2, Gears of War 1-2, Dead Rising, And I'll probably get the rest too.

Got some exclusive for the PS too, Like ALL Gran Turismo games.

And you should get Red Dead Redemption too. It's a must have.

Well I bought an xbox 360 about two years ago just to play Gears of War series (actually got the GoW edition 360 as I loved the looks of it and the price couldn't be beat) but of course I did so knowing my son would get much more use out of it.

 

Personally I prefer mouse+keyboard controls and HATE the game controllers and for that reason alone I prefer the PC over any of the consoles.

There are some console exclusives I've really enjoyed this generation (MGS4, Red Dead Redemption, Last of Us, GTA V*, Heavy Rain, and probably Two Souls) but I find that simply RedBoxing them for a week will give me my fill.  I do intend on buying a PS4 down the line since I expect some of the exclusives that were PS only will continue there.  Plus they do have the best baseball game.
