Technically, Sony  Nintendo doesn't develop, but rather copy and steal.

Therefore I pick Microsoft.

How does Nintendo copy and steal?

At least Sony has some innovation when they copy. Nintendo took the exact same game and replaced it with different charchaters... I could post more if I wanted...

WOW. This thread got alot more post/views than i predicted. :)

OT: I really hope Sony does not leave the gaming industry anytime soon. Sure things did not go as they planned this gen, But they did well enough to make a big impact for both hardcore and casual gamers this gen.

If Sony ever left the gaming industry, i think i would honestly stop console gaming and just play Pokemon games for the rest of my life... (Assuming Nintendo will still make them)


So you didnt play video games before Sony made video games? o.O?

Well, The first video games i ever played were only the PS1. Final fantasy 7, Crash bandicoot, Tekken 3, Spyro, and a few others bought alot of good memories to me when i was young. :)

Sony as a gaming company really bought alot of joy for me as a young gamer which is why i would be competly devastated if the were to leave the gaming industry. :(

(Best video game boot ever)


Oh I see o.o

Damn , you missed a great generation before the PS1/N64 era D:

Don't forget about the awesome SEGA SATURN

I love the PS1 boot <3

I HATE the PS2 boot - just brings back all those memories of games not booting, I'd hear that boot play a dozen times before the game booted (scratched games rofl)

I like the PS3 one, although I heard something strange in the end between the two versions (I think it's a shutdown tune). I bought one recently so I assume they removed it with the latest FW versions?

PS: PS1 & PS2 were my friend's systems, PS3 is mine :p

Sony.

The whole company is doing horrible. Their latest gaming system, PSVita, is doing terrible, and they're selling it at a loss. I don't know why Sony keeps selling systems at a loss, but I guess it's another one of those 'make a profit in ten years' plan. They really can't afford to drop the price, but it might be their only option at this point to bring up sales.

Vita currently has no system sellers, and it doesn't look like it'll get one anytime soon. Monster Hunter, which was one of the biggest series for the PSP, is coming out for the 3DS; sure, MH4 might come out for the Vita a few months after the 3DS version has been released, but many who were looking forward to MH4 may have already bought the 3DS version. Also, many of the Vita's popular games are also on the PS3 (a system that is cheaper and has a way better library than the Vita). Sony really dropped the ball with the Vita.


More lies Via will make profit day 1. Stop spreading bs

Anyway, I agree with the majority and say "Sony", from a financial standpoint. From a "who randomly stops making consoles" standpoint, I'd say Microsoft.


I think kaz is refering to overal deficit like research and development and marketing. Vita will be sold with a profit

Yes , there is a big difference between losing money per Vita sold and making a profit off the Vita brand .



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I would say Microsoft, depends on the next gen tho, if it bombs like the first Xbox they will get out of the gaming business.

 Okay I watched the whole video and I agree. Nintendo messed up, but it was one game! At least in the Advance version they re-did it and made it thei own so, I guess it makes up for. Btw, didn't Square Enix do something like this with their Final Fantasy games for America?

Rule #1: Never let a Sony fan educate you about Nintendo history.

Rule #2: Videos that are made for giggles shouldn't be taken too seriously.

So I guess instead of "Stranger Danger" it's "SonyFan Danger." XD It was made for giggles? (I didn't giggle at all; I don't think IRATE Gamer is that funny... at all actually.) And sorry @bolded I wasn't even alive around that time... or just not paying attention to VG at all at that time.

You know you shouldn't just listen to what every random person has to say

Doki Doki Panic was made by Nintendo, so.... Nintendo stole from Nintendo?

Also: "Nintendo's original sequel to Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1986; however, because of that game's difficulty and its close similarities to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the West at that time", see here

Sory, sory, sory, sory, sory, sory, sory! :( Please forgive my stupidity.... I also thought Doki Doki Panic sounded very, very similar....
