I just realized that the only reason I got the 360 before I got the PS3 was because it came out first. Before last gen I played my PS2 more than my Xbox, and all of my friends had a PS2, but only a few had an Xbox.

I had an original Xbox and got addicted to Halo. I preordered the 360, went to the midnight launch and was so excited to play it, plugged it in, and it yellow ringed... I then spent 2 weeks going between EB Games stores and home experiencing one defect after another, until I gave up and got a refund. I bought one PS3 at release and had until 3 months ago, when I traded it towards a PS4.
