Nintendo is in the business to make great games. Because, for them, making great games (and systems) means making a lot of money.
Sony is in the business to dominate the living room. You need a Sony HD TV to watch your Sony Blu-Ray movies on your Sony PS3, which talks to your Sony PSP. Sony wants to be your portal to anything multimedia. The more Sony things you have, the more money Sony makes.
I hate Sony because they use all their products to try to force-feed all their other stuff down your throat. I don't want to be told what to purchase. Add this to the problems I've had with the PS1 and PS2 hardware, and I have a hatred of the way they do business.
Nintendo has had their problems in the past, but face it: the games they put out are always high quality whether or not you personally enjoy them. The systems are always very resilient, well put-together, and are nearly impossible to accidentally break. If I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars on something, I want to be damn sure it works, and works well. Nintendo's only income is from their games and their hardware. They're going to be very, very sure the product they put onto the market is the best quality and affordability for the consumer. Saying "Nintendo doesn't care about gamers because they want to make money" is completely stupid. Nintendo sure does care about games and gamers, because that is HOW they make their money, unlike Sony.
PS: I have 9 wii games now. If you count Wii Sports, Mario Party 8, and Wii Controller with Wii Play packed in, I have 6 non-minigame-based games. I estimate by the end of the year I'll have at least 15 Wii games, with no additional minigame games. Saying Nintendo "only make games like Big Brain now" is retarded, FUD, and wrong.
