I'm going to have to go with Nintendo.

Why?

1. Many of my favorite franchises. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, F-Zero, Starfox, Donkey Kong. I grew up with such titles and still enjoy them today, both new and old.

2. No achievements! (WARNING: I am about to offend everyone who likes achievements) Achievements are the lamest fill-that-pathetic-void-in-your-sad-life concept yet dreamt up by the companies that put that void there to begin with. They just pop up every now and then to annoy me. I do not care, just let me play in peace.

3. No risk of going out of business. R&D and early production put them in the red every once in a while, but most years they're well in the black and have plenty to keep them afloat. Microsoft and Sony, while profitable in gaming, are bleeding uncontrollably elsewhere. I worry about Sony, as they're my #2. Microsoft's exclusives do not interest me in the least.


So Microsoft is bleeding uncontrollably elsewhere? Really?


Well it's a bit of an exaggeration. I do that.  It's fun.  But Windows 8 is flopping, Windows phones are lagging, they ARE in the red even though they have plenty of reserve to keep them afloat for a long time.  Sony's situation is certainly more dire.

I voted for Microsoft obviously

Pffft... according to Vgking's logic:

You vote for the company thay hate the most to make them look bad in the future.

You OBVIOUSLY hate Microsoft. You know.. because you voted for them. 

You have it all wrong, he may say he prefers Microsoft but he probably voted for Sony in that poll.


Whatever helps you sleep at night, start a thread without a poll and manually count based on posts, you'll soon see your theory vanish.


No, the most accurate way would be a head count. The top 20 commenters were evenly divided. I can name 10 360 fans off the top of my head who havent responded since this way heavily relies on participation.


A poll can be masked by anonymous bogus voting, a thread where people simply commented on the first line their chosen company it would be impossible to hide false votes.  The current poll looks about accurate though tbh.  Statistically speaking a similar percentage of people from each user group would vote in such a thread.  I understand why you want to not conceed that there are more than double the number of Sony fans on this site which is a fact.

there seems to be a lot of penises in the polls these days and this one is short and fat!

Bankruptcy doesn't mean liquidation, it can be a means to improve a companies future financing.

Your way also relies on participation. Tons and tons of 360 poster havent shown up here and participated yet. Head count is the only way. As for the accuracie of this poll... I'm sure there are 500 active posters in the community. As for % based I'm sure the top 250 games thread has something to say about that

Why would I do that? I have no interest in knowing and I don't have the time to do such a ridiculous thing.

I have no idea, I'm still not sure why you would waste everyone's time accusing me of lying but that's what you're doing.  When you ready to retract your earlier statement I'll accept your apology.

Stop taking things too personally. I didn't accuse you of lying, at least not directly. 

Anyway I'm done with this thread.
