Apple, their products are highway robbery... though it's more of a hate toward how the people that buy them love them...

I don't hate Apple per se. I hate the fans for praising the hardware.

In my opinoin, Apple just makes over priced computers and portable devices. What's the appeal?

I also dislike Nintendo fans for downplaying the awesomeness of HD games when they secretly want watered down versions on the Wii.

Hence, I don't dislike manufactures. I just really hate people.

Yup. The Saturn dominates all other SEGA consoles... and most consoles from other manufacturers too...

Even though we have our disagreements (aka me being a dumbass) I'm glad we can agree on this. And Apple products being a ripoff.



Well I hate two companies does that make me a fanboy? I hate Apple most but I also hate Sony. But I don't hate them because I genuinely hate their products. I hate them because of how big they are and that they produce everything just for money. I also somewhat dislike Microsoft for similiar reasons. Though I love Halo and many MS games and I love my 360.

Fact is I was a Sega and Nintendo fan back in the day. I also like Atari alot when they were a console manufacturer. So why do I dislike Microsoft , Sony and Apple while I liked Nintendo , Sega and Atari? Because Nintendo , Sega and Atari were games companies. All they made were video games and they cared more about the games then anything else. All three companies produced great games and content.

Where as Sony, games are just another profit margin. Sony makes movies , music , toilets, chemical's , electricity, weapons... you name it Sony makes it. Apple makes MP3 players, tablets , phones , computers, dvr's among many other things. Microsoft the lesser of the three evils makes software but not just games they make all kinds of software. But Microsoft too tried making Zune and other devices.

I love gaming companies , video game companies. I don't like these other multinational giant companies coming into the games industry to make as much money off us as possible. I like the game companies that produce games for the sake of games.

Hate? No.

Dislike? Yeah.

I dislike Apple due to their overinflated prices and general policies on their products. I also dislike Microsoft for turning their backs on the PC market and the way they're pushing mainstream gaming.

I am disappointed with Sony due to the amount of mistakes and dick moves they've made this gen.

I also wish Nintendo worked with third parties more to help them push big titles on the Wii.

To be fair, every company has screwed us over multiple times this gen.

Microsoft: RROD, raising price of live

Sony: Every move pre 2008 this gen lol.

Nintendo: The way they are handling VC and data storage.

 My question is, how will Google treat us if they release a console. Yes I predict google release a console next gen.

I don't really hate any hw manufacturer.  I am sometimes discontent with their actions.  This gen, I'm definitely the most discontent with Microsoft's strategy and thus eventually sold off my Xbox 360.

I'm one that doesn't give two craps about Halo and Gears.  But, when MS said they were going to start catering to the jRPG crowd, I went ahead and bought one.  But then they dropped us like a rock after a few less than stellar sales of games in that genre.  Their first party strategy has also been less than desirable, and now I can play everything I want to play on PC and PS3.  In America, most people think Xbox is the greatest thing to grace the gaming world so I'm in the small minority.

 

As with Sony, there are some dick moves that I'm not happy with.  I don't really like how they removed linux (never used it, but they shouldn't remove an advertised feature), and PS2 BC.  I am happy with their first party strategy and I think they have the best publisher / studio out of any software and hardware company.

 

Nintendo is okay, even though this is my least favorite gen with them.  They could make their hardware just a little more powerful and cater to their fans (not fanboys who support anything their company does blindly) with some new IPs.  Please release Xenoblade and TLS to the West.  I do get a little angry at their fans every time someone says "S0ny C0pyzz" without researching it a little bit (like the fact that the move was being researched way before the Wii was released).  No one accuses them of copying Sony for putting an analog stick on the 3DS.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
