The most important factor to consider when choosing a console is its exclusive games, according to a new survey.
The survey, given to GamesIndustry, polled over 2450 people who attended the Eurogamer Expo in September, asking them what they considered was the crucial aspect that would help them decide which next-gen console to buy.

Closely following behind was the price of the console, which 29% of those polled suggested was the key for them.
Other answers included brand loyalty (11%), owning the same hardware as friends (10%), DRM policies (8%) and online services such as Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus (6%), with only 2% saying they were most concerned with which console worked best as a media hub.
The PlayStation 4 launched last week in America with a number of exclusive games, including Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack and Resogun.
The Xbox One exclusives planned for launch on November 22 includeForza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Ryse and Killer Instinct.
