How about that Flight Simulator, aye?

That is the only game on ms platforms, yes.

Nintendo remained my favourite game developers this gen but only just (though the wii itself was probably my least favourite nintendo console to date and probably my least fave console this gen)...
Also I may have switched from being a nintendo/ps owner to a nintendo/xbox owner.
oh and this gen I stopped playing Resident Evil (technically this is an exaggeration cos I bought re5 and Revelations)

Well, there is always Revenge of Arcade, Microsoft Golf (and then Links LS in 99), NBA Full Court Press,  Pandora's Box , NFL Fever 2000 (released in 1999), Microsoft Soccer, Microsoft Pinball Arcade, Fighter Ace and Combat Flight Simulatorm, Microsoft Space Simulator (1994), Microsoft Entertainment Pack: The Puzzle Collection, that were developed by Microsoft during the 90s, fo the PC platform.

But... That's not really saying much.

They did publish some good games though. Like Age of Empires. But those were not developed a first party studio. =P 

No, sticked to Sony. But I became a 3 platform owner from 2 last gen: PS2 and GC

Well, I was talking about microsoft platforms as in pc&xbox. I really don't care who have developed the games, as long as they are there.

Nintendo down, Activision-Blizzard down, Square-Enix down, Sony up, Bioware up, Naughty Dog up for me

Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft flat.

Interesting take, I would think in Microsofts case more credit would be focused on developers. Microsoft has only been a publishing hand, their biggest influences on gaming come from OS and Sidewinder R&D what Xbox Live did to gaming. Bungie and other third parties did the rest for them. Bungie delivered them the only stable first party title they would have to enter the gaming industry with the promise that they would purchase their company and financially back them 100%, like they asked Apple before (of course Apple didn't).

Before 2011, I only had Nintendo consoles. Then I got my PS3, and later my PC. Its opened up a huge door of games, and I love it! But I still think Nintendo is my favorite overall.

As individual developers go, I still prefer Nintendo and their games to anything anybody else offers. On the console front, while I've always preferred Nintendo, for the last two gens, I found myself spending more time with Sony systems. I even liked the PSP waaaaay more than my neglected DS. To my surprise, I went from loathing the Xbox last gen to absolutely loving the Xbox 360. Who knows what next gen (Starts Sunday!) will bring? I'm hoping Nintendo wins my heart, again.
