Its difficult to think of gaming without Nintendo. They have always been around.

I choose Sony because I grew out of saving princess Peach in Mario along time ago.


Too bad for you, I feel sorry for you random "serious" "grown-up" person... you should try growing out of sleeping as well, because when you sleep, you dream you know...

Nintendo introduces gamer as children, Sony keeps them gaming through adult hood, and MS makes it mainstream in the US. With only one by itself would fail, when it was only Nintendo gaming wasn't taken seriously at all.


I was actually happy when gaming wasn't taken seriously/trying to be hollywood so hard.

Thats actually for a different but related reason. If not for Sony and later MS, Console gaming would practically be dead. And PC gaming would be nowhere near as fruitful as it is now.

lol

If there is anything I have learned about these forums from this thread then it is this:
-Nintendo fans are the most vocal.
-Sony fans are the most numerous.
-Microsoft fans are non-existent.

Nintendo fans have much to say as Nintendo brought back consoles.  Plus re-invented it with the Wii and effective motion.

Microsoft fans know most could be easily work on the PC.  Sure you get more headaches and have to fool with more settings and such, but still could be done.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Nintendo cause without them, gaming wouldn't exist

Also, y isn't ouya on the list?


Cuz it's not really a console, and doesn't really have games.........? (I kid)



I voted Nintendo, not just because I prefer them, but because they continue to come out with the most unique consoles and games, compared to where the rest of the industry has been going. I think that the shape of industry will continue to shift and change, but Nintendo will still be there, as themselves. And personally, I like that.

@carl2291...Your post states playstation has sold more consoles which is true but you failed  to mention Nintendo sold the most software (nintendo 4billion >Sony and Microsoft )just saying  and if you wanna argue well that nintendo been out longer ...compare nintendo 64,GameCube ,wii and wii u (in which Sony playstation 1,2,3,4 ) had been out the same time (nintendo software 1.4 billion software units sold>Sony and Microsoft ) my point is don't get too caught up in hardware sales because as you can see even though more people owned more Sony playstations more people bought more software for Nintendos products ...just saying ...which shows why nintendo is not in aany debt because software is where the most money is made not hardware ...so nintendo in my opinion is far more revelant than Sony or Microsoft as you said numbers don't lie lol....jay70sgamer

How many of those PS2 sold were unique users & not the same dude buying his 4th PS2 because they were crap & barely lasted till the end of warranty??? 150M PS2 sold =/= 150M console players!

You could say there are more console players as you dont have to own a console to actually play it or the fact that, as home consoles, you have many people in a house that are potential players

Anyway, this could be said about any console, but, looking at your postws, I think you are overreacting to this topic in general

I voted for Nintendo, its the console we use the most in our home. Great games and I love there gamepad. Nintendo still makes some of the best games out there and without them I'd probably just wouldn't play anymore.

Nintendo, their games are amazing. My second option would be Sony though, I couldn't care less about Microsoft.

In fact, game attach rate was pretty similar for PS2, Xbox and GC : about 10 games per console sold. It's very hard to think than PS2 could achieve such an attach rate with a very different and higher failure rate. Anyway, Sony sold 150 millions PS2 and the market value they owned was very consistent with this 150 millions console market, which, I think, is the point.
