Nintendo: Sometimes they take too long to release a "major" game. They have a track record for releasing peripherals and not supporting them.

Sony: They tend to look at what the competition is doing and copy it. They have a few innovations (Home and uhh.....) but its normally something that I could come up with. They don't think outside of the box.

Microsoft: They don't have as many IP's as Nintendo and Sony. Its like they depend on third parties to sell their console. They need to quit relying on Bunjie and Epic and a few franchises that sell bucket loads.

LOLWUT?!? Zombie thread?

Sony- Where is the PS2 B/C? PSN needs to be improved so it's on par with XBox Live.
Microsoft- Needs more console selling exclusive games besides Halo 3 and Gear of War 1 & 2. The RROD issue needs to be fixed which adversely impacted on hardware sales. XBox LIve should be free this would help console sales.
Nintendo- Too many casual games, that do not interest me.

Sony:EGO!
Microsoft:Evil business.
Nintendo:Wii and 98% of its games.And blind Wii fans.

Nintendo - Not enough power under the hood basicly.
M$ - Im not buying their faulty system until they do something to fix the heating problem.
Sony - Their arrogance

IMO........

Sony - Arrogance. High initial price. No B/C anymore. Cant maintain exclusives

Nintendo - Wish they allow players to choose controller options if they want motion style or normal controller style. No DVD player.

Microsoft - Pay for online. RRoD. Copying Sony just by stealing exclusives instead of branding their own name ...(The big difference with PS2 & Xbox was PS2 had big exclusives and kept them exclusive. This gen its just sharing exclusive and its all about 1st & 2nd party exclusives. If 360 wants to define itself then steal GTA4, DMC4, FFXIII completely etc and not let the competition have it as well. Thats what Sony did last gen)

Nintendo - hasn't created any franchises in a while that i enjoy.

Microsoft - Paying to pay online. I do it infrequently as is I don't want to pay for that.

Sony - They need a way better browser on both consoles if they want to use internet as a selling point.

Sony - No backwards compatibility; Treating Europe like second grade customers even though it's Sony's strongest userbase; Playstation Network is still lacking some key features; Not enough marketing, Unable to keep their exclusive titles from previous generations; Falling from 1st place after 15 years of beeing industry leader

Microsoft - As of late they seems delusional, too self confident and arrogant (Sony 3 years ago); Manufacturing low quality hardware with over 30% failure rate; Lack of support for 3rd party hardware accessories; Paying for what should be free; Lack of own 1st party developers > buying exclusive playstation titles

Nintendo - Living in past, hardware, system, online are relics of previous generations; Lack of quality titles, unless they are made by Nintendo and even then, not everything is top notch; Waggle waggle waggle, motion plus should be present at launch

Everything written above is based on my personal oppinion, I therefore appologize if someone may find some of my thoughts offensive. Also be aware of possible sarcasm appereance. Please don't ban me again.

1. The N64 controller had 1 anologue stick placed in the middle of the controller. The Dualshock used 2 anologue sticks, and they were placed on the left and the right side. Oh and Nintendo isn't the first to use an analog stick by the way, I'm pretty sure it was the Atari 5200 but I stand corrected.

2. Okay I'll give you rumble. Nintendo was the first I think. Everyone has copied that since then, not just Sony.

3. Big difference between the dualshock controller and the SNES controller. The only resemblance I see is the D-Pad, Start/Select buttons, and the use of shoulder buttons. Other than that the shape is completely different, the X/Square/Triangle/O buttons are positioned differently, and the PS1 controller had 2 shoulder buttons on each side.

We already mentioned motion control

Wii, I hate. the games for it are not great at all.

X360, I love the system, but it was too noisy.

PS3, the L2 and R2 I dont like.
