Sony

1. Lots of cool exclusives.

2. Uncharted

3. Playing Crash as a child *cries*

4. Gran Turismo and Crash on the PS1, can't remember which came first

5. Nintendo, because there's more nintendo fans on this site

I thought I was the only one who played those games!

Honestly they were just as fun as the handheld pokemon games. Especially Digimon World 3

Sony

1. They make my favorite consoles in each gen.

2. LittleBigPlanet

3. Probably unwrapping my very first Playstation as a Christmas present.

4. See the answer to number 3.

5. Nintendo probably.

Nintendo is my favorite but I find all 3 to be appealing.

1. I don't buy a ton of games and they normally have the best library when only counting the Top 15 or so games. (Per system)

2. I don't have one. Toss up between Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros, and Paper Mario

3. Playing Mario Party for hours on end on the N64. (All 3)

4. Super Mario 64 I guess

5. Honestly, Sony. Nintendo will be high up there though.

Chose Nintendo
1. Why are they your favorite?
It all started when i was 3 or 4 years old and my parents brought home a Nintendo Entertainment System with Super mario bros 3. i have been hooked on the Bros since then.

2. What is your favorite first party franchise from them?
Pokemon, but if they made a franchíse out of collectathon games like DK64 that would my favorite.

3. What is your fondest memory with them?
being in 4th grade and all my friends and i spend every recess playing pokemon and linking up with link cables.

4. What is your first memory with a console by them?
First Memory is as i said when my parents brought home the NES, but my clearest is from when my father worked the night shift and i was determined one day to stay up, so i played SMB3 all night(it was a friday night so i could stay up late), and i remember him coming home and i was sitting there still only in world 2.

5. Who did you think would win the poll before you voted?
Sony.

Nintendo

1. They don't just focus on games, they focus on gamePLAY. Innovative and fun game design is more important to them than pixels, framerates, or even characters. To them, a new game IP is in the gameplay. Not in the world, not in the characters, but in the gameplay. And that's how it should be. All companies should put gameplay first. Sony does this at times, but it's not so much Sony doing it as it is Naughty Dog doing it, and as Insomniac used to do for them. For Nintendo, it isn't just a philosophy that a few of their big developers follow, but Nintendo themselves do, not just as a publisher, but as a developer. Their company is literally run by game designers. The other two are mostly run by men in suits, with a few exceptions.

2. Zelda

3. My fondest memory? Oh that's hard. Currently one of my favorite memories with them is the end sequence of Skyward Sword, from the last fight with Ghirahim to the end credits. Every Ganondorf fight also qualifies, but especially Ocarina of Time. Outside of Zelda, and one of my favorite gaming memories of all time, is a specific moment in Baten Kaitos Origins that is too spoilerific to say here. The game puts you not as the main character, but as the main character's guardian spirit. You interact with the main character as a character yourself. There's a specific part of the story that made me feel attached to a fictional character like no other game, movie, book, or other artistic or storytelling medium ever has.

4. My first gaming memory with one of their consoles? Technically my first memory was with an emulator of the SNES. I don't recall what my first game on it was, but one of the earliest memories I have from it is of Super Mario RPG. I especially remember when an extremely trivial looking item I insisted on keeping from the beginning of the game unlocked a secret boss, and I think that moment played a big part in why I like to obsessively collect everything in games. I later got all the Nintendo systems physically, not just in emulator form, but my first memory with a Nintendo console I personally owned was with the Gameboy. Wario Land 3 and Zelda: Oracle of Seasons come to mind in particular.

5. I thought Sony would win, because they're the most popular on this website, and overall, it seems, or at least PS1, PS2, and PS4 sales would suggest, even PS3 really, when you look at Europe and Rest of World numbers. Japan even came close to the Wii in PS3 sales. It's the "cool brand" in most of the world, while in the US and UK it competes with Microsoft to be the "cool brand." I didn't think Nintendo would be trailing horribly behind, but I did think it would be last place.

Where are SEGA and SNK? They make my favourite consoles :(

Why? Neo Geo was an arcade cabinet to plug into your TV. Sega then did the same with the Dreamcast. Arcade gaming is my favourite type. I really miss it :(

Nintendo
1) Best exclusives
2) Xenoblade, Mario, Kirby, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero.
3) Mario Kart 64, DK 64, Star Fox Assault, NFS Hot Pursuit 2.
4) GC with NFS Hot Pursuit 2
5) Nintendo

Nintendo

1. High quality first party experience that Sony and Microsoft doesn't have.

2. Zelda.

3. Playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl nearly 8 hours straight on launch, and playing the game a bunch with my friends.

4. Playing Tetris and Super Mario Land on Game Boy.

5. Nintendo.
