Sony respond to what fans want and cater to as many demographics as possible
Nintendo cater to their fans with nostalgia and family friendly games (That's their core philosophy)
Microsoft do nothing unless they're forced to.

Listening to the fans is not always a good thing. For instance - the Switch wouldn't even exist if Nintendo listened to their fans. But now most seem to be very happy Nintendo went in that direction.

Yeah, I just love those guys. I can't help it.

Right now it's Microsoft. They're basically just doing whatever gamers ask for. Sony is on top and doesn't give a fuck (PS Now instead of BC and... guess what... they don't care. Suck it) and Nintendo never does what you want... they do what they think you want.

Microsoft was in that camp until Sony almost buried them at the start of this gen but since then, they've become the best consumer-friendly company by far imo. Will that change again if they get back on top? Yup. Then it will be Sony's turn to be good to us like they were during the PS3 days.

Why these guys don't figure out that being good to us WHILE being on top could KEEP them on top? I have no idea.

...Except for PS3, PSP and Vita. 

Easily Sony. This generation if people shout for a game, they tend to get it.

Nintendo have quite a history of not really listening to fans and just carrying on doing as they please regardless of fan feedback. Mario Party is a prime example for me personally, that makes me cry. Paper Mario also.

Microsoft may lack in compelling exclusive software but otherwise, they try to grant your every wish.

You can send complaints, feedback and recommendations straight from your console along with a screenshot or video from the Game DVR. I personally compared about the sounds when you press buying on the menu screens. I said I wanted "softer sounds". About a month later, there they were! This is just one example.*

They even have a page where you can vote on which games you want for backwards compatibly. I'm in the early access program and they ask what we like and dislike about system updates and what we'd change.

I give it to Microsoft., easily.

Second place goes to Sony. They mostly do what works for them but what works for them is usually what their fans want. They did finally implement external HDD support (would you believe some game said they didn't want the option at all?) and a few other issues recently. I'm especially surprised how quickly they fixed the PSVR HDR issue. I think the biggest problem with Sony is that some fans won't complain about any issues. It's hard to correct a problem when nobody acknowledges that a problem exists!

Nintendo... I love em but they just do whatever they want. Sometimes it works for them. Sometimes, it doesn't.

*I don't know if anybody else complained. I have no way of knowing. I just know that when I complained, it was fixed soon after.

I don't know if a remaster of Crash counts as Sony listening to their fans considering they didn't make the remaster and it's coming to other consoles in the very near future...

Wouldn’t each fan base be drawn to the company that gives them what they want most? This seems like such a personal question; I don’t think it’s possible to project your own feelings of satisfaction onto millions of people.

it depends on who is not #1

MS has been very receptive.

Sony seems to be a bit more on the arrogant side of things again, because they are on top. I see the examples but the big one is playing together with other consoles, and BC. Fuck streaming

Nintendo, i dont know, all i want is some virtual console games, that seems to be impossible at this point for some reason, i cant even get netflix on the switch, so who knows. I doubt they "listen" to anyone outside of that board room.
