What I hate about each company

1. Nintendo - overpricing everything. Re-badge last gen technology and mark it up to $250. People are obviously buying into it. Sell a mini-game collection for $50 when a game like Bioshock is there for $60.

2. Sony - Caring more about media capabilities than games the last couple of years, but it's starting to change. Extra space (Blu-ray) is not a bad thing, but they should of marketed how it will help games more than movies, when it comes to a game console

3. M$ - making crappy products. 360 is an awesome system, when it is working. Mine hasn't broken, but many of my friends have had problems. I have the new heatsink, so hopefully it's ok. Windows also has generally been a less than stellar experience. Also, I hate their "with us or against us" approach of only trying to kill Sony, with very little other goals.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Um, seriously... what?? That's probably the first time I ever heard of Nintendo being 'overpriced' (when they're the cheapest current gen system out there). Just because they're actually making money (which is what any company is SUPPOSED to do) doesn't mean they're overpriced.

And enough about it being 'last-gen' technology already when they're the only ones that really innovated and made big changes to the way games are played. The speed of processing may be slower, but they used 'next-gen' technology to instead reduce power consuption, size, and noise, while creating a new way to play games. 'Next-gen' doesn't always mean way faster, it can also mean smaller and cooler (temperature).



I hate this thread. It's very negative.



Yes. Mucho Negative-o.

I hate the Wii because it's so popular that a thread about its sales in switzerland exceeded 250 posts.

Scary...

I hate the PS2 because it killed my beloved Dreamcast.



I dislike niche gamers because they can not accept the idea of more than 5 genres of games. I dislike even more the fact that they call themselves "hardcore" to look down on casual, lapsed, retro and real hardcore gamers.

I hate the Wii. I hate to seem trollish, but, honestly, why the hell are people still buying the damn thing in droves?

Wii's numbers is because people run to buy Wiis because they heard about the delay in the production increase...

Wii is the 3th party dumpster and quick cash-in console, Booeh!!!

Wii Games Sales = Wii being the official party toy for the casuals. They dont' seem to be doing anything else with it.

The only reason people are buying Wiis is because they're just throwing them off buildings.

Soccer moms 4 Wii = death of gaming

Wii OMG noezzz! it is teh doomed!

Wii just mysteriously sells millions, but no one really cares about it. To be honest mentioning Wii sales numbers is really pointless.

"gamecube 1.5"

Wii = the new furby.

The Wii's lineup is lacking in games that are serious, deep, competitive, narratively-driven, emergent, etc....



I hate the 3DO because it had a 3-button controller

This thread screams for a lock.



Commodore 64.

1MHz processor, 64K of RAM... slow piece of crap. Couldn't even do 3-d. Winter olympics game sucked. Joystick was a piece of crap.
