HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

TL;DR

Wow... lots of talk, yet no one seems to want to answer the question.

Can you truly trust any company? Don't forget corporations are legal entities, whose sole responsibilitiy are to their shareholders/owners to make money. So can you truly trust any company? I think not.

All you can really go by is customer service. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony are all sometimes hit or miss when it comes to customer service. Maybe Nintendo has a little more positive news regarding positive customer service, but will it always be that way?

When it comes to credibility... I don't really trust any of them, all I want them to do is make me money (Shareholder).

As a lot of people are fixating on the updates I think it is fair to say that both systems appear to get increased failures during some updates. Sony put more out when compared to Microsoft, and both it would be far to say have had some degree of problems related to failures not always broken units.

reliable system
great exclusives
New IPs
inotive games
Plays PS1 (all do)
future Tek
always cares for the customer
always updating giving us MORE for FREE
Dont charge for online
Give us everything in the box (wi-fi, blu-ray, hard drive etc)
They know there customers and care more then any company

so any more rubbish you want to make up OP? feel free to go troll on another site, BYE BYE

All I know is this:

My 360 starting freezing up on me. I called support and they told me I had to send it in. However, I had to pay 100 dollars, because although MS "fessed up" to RROD, it didn't cover other issues, which this was. Then, i never got my box to send it in. Called back a week later, they said they would send it. STILL never got it. Called a 3rd time, talked to a manager who apologized, and finally got my box. It got repaired and returned (for 100 bucks).

My PS3 got the YLOD. It was no longer under warrenty. However, when I called in, the lady said they had extended it for launch consoles, and it would be covered. I sent it in and it got repaired and sent back to me for free.

So from my personal experience, Sony is far more Customer Service reliable than MS. However, I realize this is one incident out of millions. Maybe you should realize the same.

please, MS hard drives are easily twice the price of a ps2, and do not offer the same experience of the ps2. 

Why don't you respond to the rest of my post before I just write the same thing again. Don't expect a company to cannibalize itself when it doesn't have to.

Face it, sony is still losing money on ps3s. If there was bc on the ps3, not only would they nearly kill the ps2s sales, but they would lose more money on ps3s when they are already poised to make a huge comeback while reinforced by the most purchased system of all time.

Out of this entire thread, I just had to point out the stupidest statement I've ever heard. Making judgements based off of perception is something a total idiot does, because you lack the facts and therefore lack the ability to come to a logical conclusion.

everybody has an opinion, remember microsoft had to get sued before facing there responsability with rrod, many lawsuits,  but i have had both systems for about 2 years, im on my original ps3 , iv had every update they have offered with no problems, no with my 360 im on my 7th concole with them, everything from rrod, to video card or motherboard failing, to dvd drive failing, so everybody has different experiences, now my cousin had a problem with his ps3 out of warranty and the fixed it for free, no prob, so try not to be to hard on any of them , no large company is perfect and everybody has different experiences with them. if i have affended anyone with this , sorry

oh come on
