Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Any gen where you preferred the competitors console rather than your favorite company's?

The Wii was very innovative, and hosted many great games, but the 360 was my console of choice last gen. This time around, Wii U is my main console. Occasional multiplats, etc. are what I'm turning to my PS4 for... "Bloodborne" looks ill, though.

I generally am more into Sony products, but I know Microsoft is all show so I always buy Xboxes first (in its first two gens). They blow their load in the first couple years with third party (and a couple first party) and I can just go back to Sony once they hit the ground running.



Pretty much have always been a Nintendo guy. I got a 360 and bought that to complement what was on the Wii, and I did prefer that for a while. I ended up sticking with Nintendo in the end though.

I've preferred and spent more time on my Dreamcast than on my ps2. Mainly due to soul calibur and 3rd strike.

But i still consider ps2 as the best console ever, and now im back to psland. 



“Ore no... Kachi da!”


Nintendo is my favorite game company but the PS2 is my favorite console

I loved my PS3 but my friends got me on live and i was hooked. It seems to have carried over to current gen.



PSN & XBOX GT : cutzman25

wii when supr mario galaxy dropped ( awesome game but 97 meta , it was amazing but i think the wii craze made its ratings so high its a 92-94 for me )
but then i played a couple of wii games at my friends house the console had alot of great games but imo in the end ps3 shat on it
games i would say last gen ps3>360>wii
ps2>>>>>gc>ogxbox
psp>=nds
3ds>>>>psvita ( big dissapointment iwas expecting amazing big games from this bad boy but sony didint handle this console well )
i would say this gen i prefer wii u exclsusives but peopleact like multiplat games dont matter, they do alot, ps4/xb1 can never experience the level of game droughts that wii u owners experienced , yeah its all cherry now but man multiplats matter,plus there is a social aspect to multiplat games that most ninty games dont have
however i am very jelly of wii u exclsuives however i am patient to wait for 2015 to drop where ps hopefully will shine
xb1 has had alot of great exclusives this year sso, titanfall, fh2 , mcc , ori
wiuu has mario kart 8 , bayo 2, captain toad,
ps4 Infamous , MLB , FF XiV , LBP 3 , Driveclub , Guilty Gear
i would say xb1 has had the strongest year because of
ps4 2nd cause their exclsuives are decent but multiplats cover their weakness
wiiu has awesome exclusives but for me that isnt enough multiplats do matter and offer a shit ton of variety than what ninty can produce
if asked to pick a console iwould say ps4 or xb1 , i am mainly a ps guy

I had a NES & SNES, loved playing games on them decades ago.

Everything changed when the PS1 came out.

Been rocking the Playstation banner ever since.



I was a SEGA man at the time but the Super Nintendo had so much more going for it, and I'd play it at friends' places as often as possible.
