What is your favorite thing about the big 3? What is your favorite games by them, and what is your most anticipated by them?
Microsoft
My favorite thing about Microsoft is their innovation towards online gaming for consoles. There is a lot of memories i have with Xbox Live and I'm glad they continue to make it better. To this day I believe its the best place for online gaming. I think they make brilliant multiplayer games and it really seems to be their expertise.
On the other side I'd improve their focus on japanese games. While they have worked on getting D4 and Scalebound as first party ip theyre also missing out on some of my most anticipated games Persona 5 and Disgaea 5. While these arent games that sells millions Microsoft should learn that it still boosts your library and japanese games are important for that. Two amazing looking games that theyve missed out on. Work on Lost Odyssey 2 Microsoft
Favorite Games - Gears of War, Halo, Killer Instinct, Forza, and Banjo-Kazooie
Most Anticipated - Phantom Dust, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Scalebound
Sony
Personally I find Sony's hardware to be top notch in the gaming industry. Both with PS3 and PS4 they have come out with a hardware focused mind. Even the Vita is amazing really. Back in 2009-2010 i was actually a bit of a fanboy for PS3 as they had one of the best stretches in first party lineups i have ever seen. Theyre a company that has really focused on the core of first parties. Out of all the big three, i think theyre the most surprising as they tend to chance AAA new ip's more than the others. Just like i said Microsoft's expertise was multiplayer, i think Sony's is singleplayer.
If i were to improve Sony, id go for the online component. I personally have never cared for PSN other than when i was in love with Killzone 2, but even then the online functionality was more difficult than it needed to be. While Sony has improved PSN over the years i havent found that game from sony that tells me this is where i need to play online. This is why id like to see Sony focus on a good multiplayer game over singleplayer.
Favorite Games - Uncharted, The Last of Us, ICO&The Shadow of Collosus, and Ratchet & Clank.
Most Anticipated - Bloodeborn, The Last Guardian, and Uncharted 4
Nintendo
I like their creativity towards their first party ip. I think they have some of the most creative level designs out of any developer in the industry.
I know my nintendo lists isnt as long as the others but outside of developers I want to see Nintendo on two fronts. One being their hardware as they feel like toys to me and two being a more modern company. I really think they need to expand outside the cartoony games and work on expanding their portfolio with new ip's focused on multiple age groups
Favorite Games - Pokemon, Smash Bros, Kid Icarus, and Zelda
Most Anticipated - X and Zelda WiiU
