Why does Microsoft and Sony get a free pass?

I think we are generally annoyed with Microsoft and Sony, but certainly with the PS4 you can just play games if you don't want to do the update initially

The issue as far as I can tell with the Wii U was that the update took forever. Just wait for the fallout when the update fails due to overloaded servers

We didn't have to dothat update at once, we could actually just let it go in the background. But they didn't state it on the screen, so nobody knew.

For Wii U?
