Why Do You Like (and Dislike) Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft The Most?

[Train wreck]

Nintendo

Likes:
Great IPs with the majority standing the test of time
Emphasis on local multiplayer
Storytelling in their games, solid music

Dislikes:
Nintendo only fans
Poor media formats
Constant rehash of IP's
Stringent pricing for old games
No sense of community for any of there games
Lackluster online multiplayer
Never committed to invest in their own tech (wii motion plus, balance board), they abandon and revert back to the mean whenever trouble arises
Too peripheral driven

Sony

Like:
great controller, sturdy hardware
great platform for a multitude of games I personally like
great studios who are willing to go out on a limb with their games
Nice balance of first and 3rd party titles on the system
Game prices are accessible

Dislikes:
Does a poor job of marketing games
Talent is spread too thin due to the multiple studios
Patching system (updates etc) for Sony products are out of the stone age
Systems with severe security flaws
Cant retain any memorable mascots which cuts game series short.

Microsoft:

Likes:
Software driven, everything just works
interchangeability with other microsoft services
Their emphasis on online play
customer services
Patching system is nice and fluid
Emphasis on the living room, making the xbox an entertainment piece
Great online and offline community for a multitude of their games
Even though they are new to the gaming scene, making a huge impact in such a short amount of time.

Dislikes:
Their emphasis on online play (maturity level of some the clientele)
sub par controllers
sub par build design
