I agree with Ssenkahdavic . MS and Sony had another backbone Division.

Heres a few actions from each of the Big 3 that I find quite couragous (or dumb). Nintendo: - Released last-gen tech, added motion controls, ignored online, and planned to attract gamers with... Wii Sports! Whaa? Microsoft: - Joined a Japan dominated industry and planned to prove itself with never-before seen pay-to-play online, 3rd parties, and cheap, faulty technology. I mean seriously, disk trays are so last gen. Sony: - Released a $600 console with no decent games within launch. Courage, or incompetence? *All of the above are obvious exaggerations. |
exagerrations? nope, I'd say all three are bang on.
My Console Library:
PS5, Switch, XSX
PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360
3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android
hmmm...Are you talking about over all threes lifetime in the gaming division or just this gen? If it's just this gen I would go with MS. They released the first HD console and were first to this gen. They have stuck with Japan even with poor sales. Released faulty hardware at the beginning of the gen(most ballsy); knowing it wasn't sound. Released Kinect; a controller free motion controls, while Sony played it safe and went with the Wiimote copy. MS has relied very heavily on Xbox Live and probably the main selling point of the consoles at this point.
Now if it's over the lifetime of each company I would go with Nintendo.
It has been Nintendo up untill now, but they dropped the ball with the Wii and they dropped the other one with 3DS and thats why they seem so confused right now they are searching for their balls.
This makes Nintendo ball less at the moment.

Microsoft...because they can literally build the biggest balls of all with how much money they have.
I guess Nintendo. They lose "balls" for releasing last-gen tech, not making any new IP's this gen (besides wii series) and an ultra-conservative $250 launch price...but gain massive "balls" for taking the big risk of releasing a console based around motion controls which could have just as easily been the biggest flop in gaming history, but it obviously worked out.
Sony releasing the PS3 at $600 I would call stupid/arrogant, not ballsy. But they do take more risks such as publishing games like Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, and other risky games that aren't mainstream big sellers. I'll give them "balls" for releasing the most powerful console and creating the Blu-ray format (which was almost the downfall of the PS3). They lose balls for just copying Nintendo with the PS Move.
Microsoft took a big risk on Kinect so I'll give them balls for that. Even though they just copied the Eyetoy and made it slightly more advanced, I give them credit for taking the risk of pushing it hard to try and make it mainstream (which the Eyetoy isn't). They take no risks at all on games though. Only things they publish are Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, etc...no risks taken here.
So like I said, I give Nintendo the most balls b/c they took the biggest risk with just putting motion controls on last gen graphics/power.
Nintendo, because the Wii could have easily failed big time. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the gaming community was thinking WTF when the first details of the Wii came to light. Also even if the Wii would have failed big time Nintendo still would have been in decent shape because of the success of the DS and all their previous hand held systems (sans the Virtual Boy).
Lets see



I think Microsoft wins by default
