Sony is more trusted than Nintendo, but then again people are sheep. Nintendo is passive and subtle operating from the shadows while Sony not only tells you what you want but foces you to buy it, then steals your wallet. Consumers have battered wife syndrome I think.

It always amuses me when I meet people who think Nintendo is out to screw them, lol. "That nice old lady Mrs. Nintendo down the street tried giving me fresh baked brownies but I told her to bugger off! She was obviously trying to steel my money! Damn Nintendo always trying screw me over. Now that angry screaming man in the alley covered in feces and urine, Jack Trenton I think he's called, now he's a person you can trust, sold me a bag of used broken syringes for six hundred dollars! What a deal!"

No company sets out to screw people over (not even Sony o rMS) but don't think that Nintendo won't screw you over for some good money. I'm getting screwed over by Nintendo as well (Still waiting on that SPM release date, not to mention the fact that games cost an extra $30 over here for no reason at all)

However, in general, Nintendo used to have some nasty business practises back when they were the king, but they've since removed the troublemakers and been humbled. You can bet that if Nintendo decides to start screwing people over again now that they're in the dominating position I'm going to boycott them like I have for Sony and Microsoft.

I think the reason why people will be more likely to trust Sony is that they simply don't know what Sony are capable of. 

 

 

I know there's precious little I can say about Nintendo that won't sound like pathetic fan worship, but the fact of the matter remains that their new business strategy seems to revolve around the customer and what the customer wants. Sure they want to make money, but I think they've learned from their darker days the price they pay for arrogance.

This board is a perfect example of people only hearing what they want, you can illustrate every facet of Sony's poor decision making to them with proof and they'll still call you a damned liar.
