Name the stupidest criticism aimed at each of the big 3.

For Sony, it's:

They make nothing but linear experiences.

This is not only idiotic, but it's not even true. The Infamous series is the obvious example destroying that argument, but what really needs to be said is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with linear experiences. Linear experiences benefit from momentum and focus (tho there is a such thing as too linear). The people that think open world=good and linear=bad are stoopid.

For Microsoft, it's:

Microsoft is evil because they charge for online.

Xbox Live is a service. Microsoft has a right to charge for a service they provide. Deal with it.

For Nintendo, it's:

Nintendo makes games for kids. This is stupid because Mario and Zelda have plenty of adult fans and their core gameplay is no more kiddy than anything else. Then you have games like Metroid, which is obviously not kiddy; Sin and Punishment, Fire Emblem, etc. Even games that look kind of kind friendly are not neccesarily kid friendly, i.e. Pikmin. Anybody who actually uses this criticism has a total of two functioning braincells.

What are the stupidest criticism IYO?

Yeah, can't really argue with this post.

Revealing way too many games.

One that can be applied for all three as well. "game x doesnt sell" If a game didn't sell it would literally wouldn't sell anything not one single copy.carlisledavid79

The fact that people on here don't know how to use the word dislike. People never dislike anything on here, they just say it sucks or it is bad. There is a huge difference between something being bad and someone just not enjoying the game.

The stupidest argument ever on this forum is that one entire console is better than another because of "game y" or "feature x"

no one system can be the best for everyone.

I'll also agree with this as well.

To me improper use of wrods means you don't really know what your talking about and cannot be trusted in its entirety.

Every 3rd person action game is a gears of war uncharted clone. This is the only criticism that gets:question: from me.

"OMG, those bastards copy the idea from my system of choice, they have no creativity and copy everything".

While it may be kind of true, it's basically the nature of every industry:

One company is leader, it's mission is to innovate knowing that the other companies will try to come up with something like what they have, with some extra perk.

Other companies are predators, they see what the leader came up with, and try to use it making it better.

Basic stuff for everyone that went to the university and had to study something company-related.
