I want to pick Microsoft because they are cheap as hell regarding investing money into their own first party (look how under utilized and dead the Rare IPs have been for the last decade). But then on the other hand I'm fairly certain the entire Xbox brand and all of its generations of systems have actually lost Microsoft money. They almost always sell the systems at loss and are not making much from first party games because they don't have a lot of them

then there is Nintendo, and I would certainly agree that Nintendo is pro at ripping off people as far as accessories are concerned. Carrying cases, an alternative to their weird controllers (i.e. charging high for a pro controller instead of a Wii Mote), extra wii mote costs, Mario Kart wheel accessories, etc. etc. etc.

then Sony overall I can't complain THAT much about however things like the Vita and its accessories were extremely overpriced in my eyes.

 

I would probably vote for Microsoft in the end, just because despite arguably not making a lot from their gaming division (in terms of raw profit) they are unwilling to risk much and in turn seem a bit greedy in my eyes. The whole Xbox brand arguably for them is just a marketing tool to keep the name "Microsoft" relevant in younger minds and to continually bring back and emphasis to their software programs (i.e. Windows, Office, etc.). Which would explain their recent year emphasis on a multimedia 'family' with Windows controlling everything or whatever. So the whole circular effect and lack of first party support (relatively speaking) seems greedy
