Forums - Gaming - If One Of The Big 3 Went Bankrupt, Which One Going Would Be The Best For The Gaming Industry?

 

Which one would be the best for the industry?

Nintendo 35 13.36%
 
Sony 55 20.99%
 
Microsoft 172 65.65%
 
Total:262

The way things currently sit, I guess it is Nintendo.

People saying Microsoft leaving would be best don't know what they're talking about. Games library is the least important element of this debate, as any library would go multiplatform the instant one of these companies went under.

Whilst Nintendo has offered great and unique innovation, the reality is thats only occurring every second generation these days, and it just isn't keeping them as competitive as the other two players in the game.

Microsoft has been innovating consistently and effectively. Sony has embarked on a long process of trying to keep up with ideas Microsoft has already had, implemented and made mainstream (on-line, controller-free motion, cross party chat, multimedia powerhouses etc). Sony's idea of hardware and services innovation is just more power. Whilst all three companies are innovating within games, this is not relevant to this specific question as, again, IPs and studios would go multi-platform immediately. Nintendo has been the genesis for many great ideas (like motion), but it has consistently been Microsoft that has found a way to make them mainstream, expand them etc.

Hmm, I'd go with Microsoft since the XBO shares most of the same games with the PS4. I wouldn't really miss Halo or Forza.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

You mean which one would be the least bad to lose, right? I refuse to answer until this is clarified.

Which one going bankrupt would help the gaming industry the most, or effect it the least.



Microsoft



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Well MS and Sony are competing against each other and competition drives innovation forward so the answer its pretty obvious.



Around the Network

How about this. Microsoft leaves and Sega returns.



Microsoft.

They did amazing things with the xbox360 and online gaming but they've recently dropped the ball and shown what their "vision" for the future of the industry is....... Complete control over the consumer.

No thanks.

None, but if one had to go then I'll pick MS - just because I have more history with Sony & Nintendo, and with Xbox One just being a slightly cut down PS4 we wouldn't lose anything except Kinect which I don't care about.

Ofcourse MS is least likely of the 3 to go bankrupt.
