Grew up on the NES and SNES, had a Gamecube and PS1, but have stuck with PlayStation since then. I keep to one console per generation, and although I miss Zelda and Mario Kart (usually play with friends), I haven't compeled felt to make the investment in a Nintendo console in a long time. I do however hope the company does well, and would hope there next console might make me want to return to them.

I absolutely love everything about Nintendo (even when they get it wrong). Their hardware is always efficient and robust, they are quirky, have the best IP in the industry and make beautiful polished software. I do also like a bit of Sony as well though, owning both compliment each other well.

@Bold: That is a really big one for me, as someone who does NOT own a PS3.

Bolded: Contradiction

Have a nice day!

There isn't a developer out there who delivers more games that I love, but by the same token, they do not make the games that I enjoy most.

I think with its controller, the Wiiu is more innovative. It takes more than just powerful hardware too be innovative. New ways too play are key to innovation as well, but Nintendo dropped the ball with not being able to use 2 Wiiu controllers.

As a computer gamer for some 30+ years I can't say I'm fan of any particular company, my preferred gaming diet has been coming mostly from 3rd parties all that time.

When it comes to Nintendo I fall firmly into Zelda+MK category, occasionally sprinkled with some smaller IPs.

Not really a contradiction, there were plenty of games on those platforms that weren't made by Nintendo...

I grew up with Nintendo so they'll always be my favorite. They're like an old family member to me. I may not like everything they do or the choices they make, but I feel this strange sense obligation to support them. I'll always wish for their success. It doesn't hurt that I absolutely love most of their franchises and the fun factor combined with nostalgia is enough to win me over.

I wasn't a Sony kid growing up. I didn't get a Sony console until 2012, but PS3 and 3DS have been the majority of my gaming the past few years. So I love Sony, too but it's not the same kind of love that you have for something you grew up with.

I'm pretty sure everyones been a Nintendo fan at one point in their life.
