I'm sure we all have one company out of the big three that we prefer more than the others. It's fairly obvious that I love Nintendo, and let me stress, I really, really, love Nintendo. But that's not saying they haven't done some stupid stuff. I'd like to point out that you should only bring up current-gen stuff, because digging up all that old stuff isn't very ... Well, fun.
So, let me start off by saying that the controllers are way too expensive. I mean, first off, a Wiimote costs too much. And then you need a nunchuk. And now Wii Motion Plus. The peripherals are often bundled, so I don't really count them, but seriously, for a console which takes pride in local multiplayer it sure isn't giving it to you cheap. No wonder Wii Play sells so well - it feels like slightly less of a ripoff.
I also believe that Nintendo are mistreating WiiWare. Virtual Console is fantastic and is handled very well, but Nintendo have yet to release many worthwhile WiiWare-games which is pretty sad given how many great games they have and how many of them could benefit from a WiiWare-entry.
And lastly, I'm annoyed at constant new versions of the DS. What's the point of buying a machine if they just release a new upgrade a year later? And even moreso, what's the point of making an upgrade that removes features from the previous versions (GBA slot)? The whole new model thing sickens me, but apparently it's commercially viable since it boosts sales a lot.
So, now you guys go - pick your favorite of the big 3 and name at least one thing about them (this gen) that annoys you.
