They're not wholly evil. Just some moves in recent years come off as anti-consumer: inhibiting crossplay and console mods, showing off games several years away from release on platforms that ultimately don't get said games, denying PS users EA access, duping people into buying No Man's Sky, final products not always matching what was shown off in trailers, trying to claim "Let's Play" for themselves when it belonged and thankfully still belongs to everyone...

I wonder if anybody could come up with such a robust list of anti-consumer practices that Nintendo or Microsoft have engaged in.....?

Bolded: So, if I were to distill that idea down to it's essence, what would I get? That The Last Guardian was announced on PS3 and eventually found it's way to the PS4? I assume this is the specific scenario you're referencing, otherwise you could just say "canceled games". It's huge stretch to call that anti-consumer. If anything, it's laudable it ever came out given the circumstances.

By that logic Nintendo and Microsoft are evil too.  

You just said it's Nintendo's 9th gen.  Therefore last gen for Nintendo is 3DS and Wii U. They've even almost stopped shipping Wii U's if not already.  

 

Current Nintendo gen Switch 

Last Nintendo gen Wii U/3da

2 gens ago for Nintendo DS/Wii 

 

It's now 2 gens since Nintendo dominated. 

Clear facts, console gaming is now still in 8. gen, Nintendo won last gen that was 7gen. Officially 9. gen still doesn't exist.

Officially Nintendo are in their 9th gen.  You can't possibly argue the Switch is the same gen as the Wii U and 3DS.  So for Nintendo it's 2 gens since they won.

It was Nintendo who did that to the Let's Play players, and any video on Youtube that showed off footage from their games.

They didn't dupe anyone into buying No Man's Sky, it was a functional game. Quality is subjective. People only bought it because they were hyped. Its their fault.

They didn't show any game on PS4 that isn't coming to PS4 except Deep Down, which is a Capcom game and is where it is due to Capcom.

Yeah Nintendo going after youtubers was one of the most evil thing any of the big 3 ever did.  I still remember all the angry Joe meltdowns all because nintendo couldn't handle a bit of game criticism.  And the Jim sterling meltdowns too.  God Nintendo really went after him with a vengeance.  So evil!
