Surely the only sane reason to opt for a games console is...
...the games?
That's certainly why I bought each of the consoles I own, anyway. Price isn't really an issue, as the cost of the hardware works out as a relatively small amount compared to how much I'll spend on games over the five-year plus life of a console. Raw power and gimmicky controls are nice and all, but only inasmuch as they contribute to the quality of the games.
And the great thing is that there's a different line up of games on each machine, so each person's choice should be based on which ones they personally want to play, and not the inane console fanboy lists of titles that they *should* like.
