Forums - Gaming Discussion - Least liked console from each of the big 3 and why

Nintendo: Wii u because duh

Xbox: 360 because it always just felt like a PS3 with less exclusives to me. Like the Xb1 has stuff like Ori, battletoads, cuphead, killer instinct ect then the of Xbox has Morrowind, Kotor, crimson skies, ninja gaiden but what does the 360 have that makes it better or different from the PS3.

Sony: PS4, I simply don't care about 1st party Sony games anymore. The ps1-3 and handhelds felt so diverse. I miss stuff like rogue Galaxy, jak, socom, resistance, twisted metal, ape escape. Seems like all sony makes these days is cinematic stuff 



Around the Network

Nintendo: I would have to go with the N64. While there are some gems like Mario 64, Waverace 64, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, OoT, etc..I was never a fan of the polygon type of graphics. Also I wasn't a fan of the controller, although the Rumble Pack was awesome.

Sony: Definitely PS1. There were tons of games. Massive amount of games. Some of them heralded as the best games ever. However, I felt myself playing Nintendo 64 more because of the load times. Really that's about it. That's just more of a personal gripe than a worldwide gripe. I still played my PS1 extensivesly. I just hated waiting. I was an impatient teen. Lucky the Vita doesn't count in this. Otherwise I would name it as well.

Xbox One: I've been terribly disappointed with the lack of exclusive software. Everything else was fine. I don't give a damn about sales or anything like that. I was hoping we would get the same type of commitment to games like we did Xbox and Xbox 360. There's no point in listing gripes that they (Xbox) have ratified or completely did away with.

MS: OG Xbox
Sony: PS3
Nintendo: Wii

Just a list, but I'm not really wanting to get into why I disliked those 3. Just thought I'd list them.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Nintendo: Wii was the worst console for me i never liked the games (without Wii Sports) if i were not drunk before a party.....

Sony: PS4, Lack of interesting games that i can not play in better quality on my XOneX or Pc. Im not really into story driven action-rpgs / rpgs and that´s what their exclusives are about, for me. The only interesting ps4 exclusive for me were Killzone (but its dead) and Gran turismo but it cant compete with Forza Motorsport or Horizon since a decade.

Microsoft: X360, Rod had it 2 times after that i switched to the pc for 3-4 years and had a ps3 to play some Cod with friends online

Nintendo: N64 - Seriosly dislike this genration across the board. Controller sucked, games sucked.
Microsoft: Xbox - The Duke..
Sony: PS3 - worst Sony controller for sure, but cant put my finger on it.. just not feeling it.

Well maybe if you put your finger on it you would actually be able to use the controller ... 



Around the Network

Nintendo:

Wii - I simply find nothing enjoyable about the system, and felt it was an all time low for Nintendo software. Nothing it did connected with me, and non of Nintendos main line franchises put out any installments that I enjoyed. The fact that something I enjoyed so little, was seeling crazy only amplified things. I did not want to see Wii's success lead to more Wii's in the future. Overall, the Wii, is my least favorite console from Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony.

Thankfully, Nintendo did not continue down the Wii path, and we are in a much better position today with Swiitch.


Microsoft:

Xbox - Xbox had Microsoft stepping away from the direction I wanted to see the company go, which was making gaming on Windows better. I didn't need another console to compete with PlayStation, I needed a PC that could game well, with an ecosystem that was well maintained and controlled. The system had a few exclusive titles I actually enjoy to this day, which puts it ahead of Wii, WiiU, and Gamecube for me, but it trails everything else.

On a positive note, this generation, Microsoft has finally started to move towards what I want to see from them. The 360 was a great console, but Xbox One has become by far their best platform to date. The continued convergence of Windows and Xbox has made both the Console and Windows better.


Sony:

PlayStation 4 - It is the 1st PlayStation that has failed to make progress over its predecessor. There are some bright spots amoung its 1st Party Exclusives, but it does not make up for the dramatically smaller 1st party line-up and variety. In addition the Hardware and OS both took a major step backwards compaired to the PS3. The complete lack of Backwards Compatability, the severely cut back media and storage functions, the complete absence of the ability to install another OS, and underwhelming launch hardware all add up to a device that is PlayStation only by name. The PlayStation 4 Pro only added salt to the wound. Not truly capable of 4K in most games, no 4K Blu-ray, no 4K content from PlayStation Store, no support for Dolby Atmos or Dolby Vision. PS4 Pro is actually even worse for its time than PS4 was when it launched.

The one bright spot from PlayStation 4 has been PlayStation VR. PlayStation VR has allowed the PS4 tha ability to deliver new expereinces for the first time since PS1/N64 and to a lesser extent PS2/XB/NGC. Hopefully, Sony will right the ship with PS5, and deliver more games, better functionallity, full Backwards Compatibility, and next gen VR, that can deliver VR's PS2 moment of taking the new medium mainstream.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

"Recycled last gen games..."
---- Wii U / 3ds games on the Switch: 
BoTW
MK8
Splatoon
Cpt Toad
Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 1+2
New Super Luigi U
New Super Mario Bro's U
Lego City Undercover
Donkey Kong Country - Tropical freeze
Yo-kai Watch 1
ect.

^ all published by Nintendo btw.   Overall Switch probably has more "recycled" games than the PS4 does.

Not to barge in, and I would be the first to agree that this generation, overall, has a lot of recycled content and ‘remasters of remasters’, but..

First, Breath of the Wild obviously isn’t a “recycled last gen game” because it was released simultaneously on two platforms as a multiplat with the newer platform being pushed as the leading release, making it more of a Switch game than a WiiU game. Second, Splatoon 1 isn’t on Switch. Now I know what your answer to this will be, but please, one could list a billion games in that case.



Sony: PS3 - The 7th gen was bad in general, and the PS3 was the worst offender. Expensive, bulky and the start of Sony's focus in the west.

MS: Xbox One - Lack of good exclusives, focused only in the west unlike its predecessors,

Nintendo: N64 - Horrible controller and a disgusting lack or RPGs



I said N64 already but the Wii... Man, that thing had a lot of pros and some great games but it had so many flaws. My God. Sold like crazy but I don't think it deserved to win the gen.

It won the gen in terms of sales. I believe the 360 won in terms of popularity.
