Nintendo

1. Your Virtual Console on both the WiiU and 3DS is awful. Still no GBA support for 3DS (aside from early adopters) and the N64 is MIA for WiiU. Then there is just classic games straight up missing from beloved franchises.

2. Your pricing is a joke. When will you games ever go down in price, even just for a sale. Here in Australia that answer is never meaning there are many fun looking games that I will never play as I dont believe they are worth that price.

3. They just dont make them like they used to... if at all. Yeah many Nintendo franchises have simply been left out in the rain to rust away, others milked with shitty sequels intended to make as much money as possible with no regard to the quality of the game.

Microsoft

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Ltd.

2. Am I really being charged to play online? I rarely even want to play online. Yeah I dont game online much so the idea of paying a fee to play one game online every now and then is BS. Well I guess its just another way for them to take our money.

3. Still zero exclusives that make your consoles must buys.

Sony

1. PS3 costs WHAT!!! A 60gb PS3 at launch here in Australia set you back a cool $1000. But dont worry because it had all those amazing games. I think I will take the $400 Wii and Zelda thank you.

2. Why dont you own Crash or Spyro? 

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Guardian Dont worry guys none of us actually want this game, you can stop wasting money on it (or lying to us). Seriously though WTF Sony, an entire generation and not a single new Team Ico game.

I was pleasantly surprised to find I hate none of the big 3. I just like video games. Unfortuneatly I found out I hate myself.



Nintendo:

1. I just hate motion control. And dont like the idea of huge tablet contoller.

2. If I can cant play third party games in your system then why should I get your system?

3. Circle pad pro for 3ds.

 

Microsoft:

1. I need variety. I would like to play games besides shooters.

2. Exclusives. Not the ones that comes to pc after 1 year.

3. Xblox Live gold.

 

Sony:

1. I dont want to play God of war 7. Like your system for new IPs. Too much milking spoils my taste.

2. A proper controller without gimmicks (light bar, touch pad, six axis). Take out the integraded battery if it doesnt last more than 6 hour. I would rather put AA batteries in them.

3. Put a leash on talented yet useless guys like, fumito udea who are wasting your resources.



I think Nintendo first party games don't go down in price because they always sell. Exceptions are titles like Metroid Other M, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Wario titles. The big ones are the ones people buy all year around. Lowering the price would be lowering profit. Why do that if people are willing to pay full price years after a game comes out? Not really something to hate Nintendo for.

But Fumito Ueda is Sony's best dev

You're entitled to your opinion but does Micrsoft reallly put out that many shooters?  I mean they have a ton of Kinect games, Viva Pinata, Forza, Fable, they bought Twisted Pixel--they're no worse than anybody else.  That's my take, anyway.

Lifetime value counts. No matter how awesome his old games were (I have played both ICO and SOTC) if his cumulative lifetime output is negative them he is a burden. He wasted almost 6-7 years resources of sony despite team ICO being a small team.

I couldn't care less about Sony's resources. I only care about games and Team Ico makes the best sony games imo.

Well that depends on its sales. It may sell 100k at $40 but if lowered to $20 it may sell 300k as there are more people intrested in it at that price. Then when a sequal launches it may get more sales at $40 due to the interest gained by the new buyers after the price dropped the 1st time. However obviously Nintendo have decided that price drops simply arent worth it. Just means theres plenty of games I will never play by Nintendo that I may have loved.

Thanks dude. This might be my point of view which detects shooters only in xbox. And I dont like motion based games.
