If one of the big three had to leave the console market?

I can't choose one to be honest, even though I agree with Juken that Sony have been a lot less innovative this gen and are basically playing catch up on their competitors features (despite the fact they launched last) they have still brought some great games to the table and forced some good competition. Still its not like all that first party support would all commit harakiri so it wouldn't be the end of the world. Even so I can't pick one fairly :P.

Why the Microsoft hate?

They only have a full gen under their belt give them a break. They could do better later, we just got to wait it out.

I voted can't decide.

Microsoft easily. All they indroduced were crappy hardware, pay to play online (while ninty, sony and pc offer it free), closing down talented developers, introducing DLC (thank you Microsoft now we have to pay for content that is already on the disc 90% of the time!) all they did was ruin the console scene.

As opposed to Sony, content to push nothing, unless forced by competition, without live the argument would be over which online is better Wii or PS3 and it probably wouldn't be an easy arguement. And Sony ruining the console scene by forcing Nintendo to go casual to a before unheard of degree.

The Nintendo I used to love barely exsists now. Wow... Sony just make the world a better place :roll:.

All MS have done is provided healthy competition which we all directly or indirectly benefit from and a good alternative to PS.

The truth is Sony for better or worse dramatically changed the market and MS just add a healthy balance to it now.

Microsoft I guess. Although the 360 is my favorite system Nintendo and Sony would deserve to stay much more than Microsoft.

... There is no such thing as "deserve" in the business market.. I would say Sony, to this day many of their features are half ass'd or illogically done... while XBL and its arcade has steadily improved through the years.. I have seen none such improvement in any way for Sony system.. In fact they waste it on useless things like the virtual chat roomthat is Home.. absolutely riiduclous.

Microsoft is already on the way out, imo. I name their coffin, Kinect.

Sony given that since I was a toddler I've enjoyed far more games from MS and Nintendo. Sony's just been playing catchup to both of them this gen. I'd rather keep the innovators.

I'd have no problem if MS left the console market. I love my 360 but they haven't done much at all in the way of 1st party exclusives in years, and the hardware is terrible. If they left they could always make great PC games like they used to if they wanted to. Besides, as time goes on their direction get's worse and worse. Xbox was amazing, early 360 was good, but it's just getting worse and worse ever since NXE.

I would go with Sony they have messed up so much this gen, they are improving but i thinks its to little to late.Duckyindiana

Nintendo. Sorry to say, because they brought me into gaming with the NES, but I am not really crazy about the Wii. I like my traditional controller, and good game.

Nintendo. With Move and Kinect what is the advantage of owning a Wii, except for Zelda Mario and Metroid, it is by far the most inferior system in terms of graphics, games, gameplay etc. If Move and Kinect were released with their respective systems from day 1 would Wii have even sold very many consoles....I doubt it.

i feel that all three systems are great this gen however if one had to go it should be ms. if ninthedo left we miss smg, zelda ect. if sony left we miss gt, gow, uncharted ect. hoowever if ms left thier exclusives are all third party so those games would just end up on other systems so you lose nothing. that is why ms is the most expendable

Honestly? I would say Sony, they remind me of how Sega used to be back in the 90's.

Microsoft. It would be easier for the industry to handle if Microsoft left the console market and it would let them bring focus back to Windows.

i like all of them, but if i had to pick. probably sony

A company ahead of their time with a bunch of overpriced peripherals with dwindling third party support.

nintendo, simply because Id love to see rare make another donkey kong, and to see a mario game on the HD consoles nintendo's developent talent mixd with the power of the PS3=win, or having Bungie and nintendo work together to make a new metroid prime on the 360

Sony

Thanks for the welcome back.

I go back and forth over whether or not I want to post anymore. I like posting everyonce in a while, but I feel that desire to post dwindles everyonce in a while.

Nintendo, since they are more concerned with the family gamer and less concerned with games I like.

MS...their 1st party enterprises just dont have the impact of Sony's or Nintendos.

MS, out of all 3 are by far, mostly for the 3rd party and multiplat. When that happens, it starts getting irrelevant.

Thats a hard choice... I really cant make a decision.....

Sadly.... Nintendo. They used to be my favorite, but they really messed it up this time around.

None of them......they are all very good.Microsoft,Sony and Nintendo are very good.All the big trees who had to leave the console market they have already done that like Atari and Sega.Microsoft,Sony and Nintendo is the holy triangle of Videogames.AtariKidX

Or the axis of evil! :o

:P

[QUOTE="caughtjoo"]I could deal with Microsoft moving back over to pc.M3tr4nk0

Yeah, Microsoft has forsaken us PC gamers! :evil:

What was the last one they released on PC? Gears of War 1?

Why would i want anyone to leave the market? People would end up losing their jobs :(

I suppose if some held a gun to my head and forced me to say, i would say Microsoft. That way, maybe ...... just maybe they would decide to focus again on the PC
