Hm.
Well, I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Sony, exactly, but that I'm a fan of Worldwide Studios. I think they're the best collection of developers out there. I respect Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog immensely, along with some of the others, like Media Molecule and Guerrilla Games. By default, I guess that makes me a fan of Sony's hardware, because they make the games I like.
I wouldn't say I dislike Microsoft but I do hate their online policy. I don't believe that multi-player and video services should be behind a pay-gate. Their exclusives don't do all that much for me either.
I don't dislike Nintendo, either, I'm just kind of apathetic toward a lot of their games. Mario and platformers in general don't inspire me very much.
EA and Bethesda are both love/hate for me, almost to an extreme. EA does all these crappy schemes and weaselly things to extract more and more money, yet they're responsible for some awesome games. That's where, to me, they're much better than Activision, which has very few games that interest me. Bethesda, likewise, makes some amazing and unique games that make the industry better by existing. However, at the same time, those games are rife with bugs, a fact that doesn't seem to bother them one bit. Fallout 3, one of my favorite games ever, was filled with bugs. Fallout New Vegas, which I also loved, was filled with the exact same bugs. I mean, seriously, fix your engine.
BioWare falls under EA, but I'm gonna mention them separately, too. They're pretty impressive. Even the storyline parts of their Star Wars MMO was a lot of fun, though it turned into a bog in the end-game, like most MMOs. Cannot wait for Dragon Age 3, by the way.
I also like and support Atlus, though they make their fair share of bad games.
