I've seen so many topics about how people think one company or another is milking there customers or how one system is so freain inovative and the others are just steal its ideas, but what people never seem to think about is what the companys did to get to where they are... Why they are the big three in gaming... what they have done in the past to push gaming forward and what they are doing now to keep gaming going strong.
Everyone used to complain about how sony milked there fans because they make everything so expensive... that seems to be true for everything that sony makes, but its not like sony is putting some outragious price tag on something that there going to gain so much money off of because of that price... Sonys products are not low quality... They are pushing everything that they have into the next gen era... The Laptops already have Blu-Ray Players and there Vaio Desktops are for high end to say the least... Sony is known for pushing new formats into gaming and that makes sense because Sony is not just a gaming company and there new disc formats is a big part of there company...
Microsoft has been making computer OS and other computer software for a long time... they are the newest to get into gaming, but they seem to be focused on there online system which as of now is the best out of the three companies... they were the first to have a truely well made online system that allowed you to keep track of friends in a very easy and basic way. There online system is a very big source of income for there gaming systems because this gen there lossing so much on there broken hardware and there poor planing with that hardware...
Nintendo has been along the longest and may have had the biggest impact on gaming... not just because what they have done, but also because they were the ones that lead sony into the whole gaming thing... If they had not came to sony for sonys help and then screwed them over its very likely that sony would not have gotten into gaming at the time that they did and they may never had got into gaming right... Nintendo also did a lot with there first party IP, but they did not push Technology in the gaming system that much. But, thats to be expected because they are the smallest of the "Big Three'... all nintendo has to make money is there games (while sony and Microsoft already had big buisness before they even got into gaming)....
I'm not completely sure why I typed this up, but if I had to give a reason it would be because so many fanboys say Nintendo is so inovative with there special little controller even though its nothing that could not have been done in the past with old tech and how people always complain about how sony is ripping the average gamers off with there high end tech... Sony is pushing everything they have into the HD spectrum and there is no reason why they would leave there next gen system in the past when they would gain the most money by rushing people into the HD gen... Sony losses money on there Games, but there making there money on there HD TV's and mabye there HD Laptops and everything else they make...
