I'll try to state things that I didn't read yet in this post (if I overlooked it, oops)


Microsoft: They introduced a paradigm of patches, incomplete releases etc. Back in the good old days, there was no such thing as a FIRMWARE update, and games worked fully upon release - because if they didn't, they didn't sell and someone got fired.

Sony: Because in their giant pissing contest with Microsoft, they embraced all of the things MS did (above) and more.

Nintendo: (Tough to say one that hasn't been said already so I'll say...) Overly complacent with hardware success. Needed to be pushing massive software along with it to deliver a killing blow - and line their pockets. Case in point, they should be USING this massive income to hire and create new studios so that the Nintendo name competes (if not dominates) in every genre.

Sony and MS; arrogance.
Nintendo; whiny representatives.

360 - Needs more exclusives. We all know about Halo, Left 4 Dead, Gears, Crackdown, Mass Effect (no guarantee it stays exclusive), Forza, Splinter Cell, etc. But I could make a list triple this size on good PS3 exclusives. This is the main reason I sold my 360. I know it gets all the multiplat games but more exclusives would be nice.

PS3 - I'm actually having a tough time thinking of complaints. I guess my only thoughts are the online still isn't as good as XBL, firmware updates take like 20 minutes, and it has longer load times then 360 thanks to Blu-ray.

Wii - I've never owned a Wii so I'm basing this off what I've read/heard. Of course I have to mention lousy party games/casual games (which isn't Nintendo's fault) and lack of good new IP's (which is Nintendo's fault).

Okay besides motion controls, which we all know Sony copied, how else has Sony copied Nintendo? I'm actually asking you to name a couple things.

Because from what I've seen Sony does a great job of trying new things. They went with CD's on the PS1 when Nintendo was still on cartridges, they made the PS2 use DVD's, and with the PS3 they are the first/only company to use Blu-ray, Bluetooth and built in wifi; and they also ramped the graphics up to a whole new level.

From what I've seen Sony is as much an innovator as Nintendo is. Oh and Sony also does TV's, Cameras, and about a million other random electronics so they're more then just a video game company. 

Analogue stick, rumble, their controller is a copy of a SNES pad, motion...........

Sony: arrogance, always overcharging their customers, crap features and lack of games

Nintendo: give me donkey kong!

360: stop being (cheap) PC

Sony - PLEASE change the left analog stick on the DS3. The controller is miles behind X360's. WHY THE HELL did you put so little RAM in the PS3 and choose a crappy GFX card?

Microsoft - RROD. Seriously, redesign the console and fix it. Live should be free.

Nintendo - Find a way of decreasing the showelware on the Wii and improve the quality of 3rd party titles. Also, since you're swimming in cash, why aren't we seeing all the killer franchises like FZero make a comeback?

Nintendo: Cammie. Mother? Fatal Frame IV? Some games are just sent out to die. Not. Enough. Samus. Pokemon MMO? Invest in more studios.

Microsoft: I refuse to pay for online. RRoD is kinda scary. Please do something about Rare.

Sony: Arrogance. Admit something is wrong, then do something about it instead of pretending you don't have any problems whatsoever. I want a new controller!!!

The necromancer has struck !
