I don't mind it in most instances, but there are time where the only ones that really suffer are gamers.
When the games wouldn't exist without the cash from Sony/MS/Ninty, then it's only a great thing. The hardware developer gets a good game (bayonetta 2, Sony's indie titles, etc.) and the studio is able to make another game. There are times where the studio needs zero financial backing and tries to sell features or timed exclusivity for greed, where no one benefits from it outside of the hardware manufacturer.
