Nintendo: is by far the longest lived and of the three companies and is dedicated to gaming only

Sony: this electronic giant has dominated the market for a decade with it's Playstation series

Microsoft: the newest to the market knows its computers and has a highly succesful online service

Don't want to seem like a fanboy. But I think that Nintendo today doesn't really appeal to the general public with its new consoles.

Sony. The Playstation franchise is to gaming as Mario is to Nintendo.

I know, but it doesn't have the games that teens today look for. Anyway, this is a comparison of companies.

I'm not even going to bother voting. There is no way you can just say "oh this is better" for this kind of thing.

Sony!  The PS1 and PS2 smashed the competition.  These trends point to the PS3 doing the same.  However, Microsoft has made one of the most addictive computer games in history: the Age of Empires series!  Aggghhh!

 

And Nintendo, well, how many Mario games can you make, really?  Duck Hunt was cool, though...

Microsoft or Nintendo take this one.  Most of Sony's big titles are made by 3rd Party developers.

Then he obviously has either not done any research on what games are out, has a different taste in games than those buying the Wii for its many fun games, or bought it solely because of hype.

The Gamecube was the cheapest for most of last-gen, yet it came in last place. The price is not the reason why the Wii is selling.

Each company brings something different to the table.  Nintendo has great first party game franchises, they buck the trend and are more innovative (at least that is what they say as well as most others too), but fail to bring it graphically (which is what most casuals look at).  Microsoft being a late player and all, has dominated with online play and service, and is developing their own first party power house brands like Halo and Gears of War (which will have numerous sequels), but fail to have a lot of third party support (but not as bad as Nintendo).  Sony has the most name recognition, and has (at least they did have) such a huge support from companies and bringing/making games for the Sony name.  The huge libraries and great titles makes Sony work, and with the games to be released in the summer and winter holiday months, Sony will do just fine.  As long as each company keeps adding new ideas and concepts to their respective consoles/handhelds, we as consumers benefit.

Nintendo by FAR! Just check out their game line up!!

Not to mention that this is less than HALF of what Nintendo is making right now for Wii! 45 games! What other company can do that? Not even EA could keep up!

teens mean nothing in gaming this day and age , sure 10 years ago what teens wanted was important but the teens who biught ps1 are now 25 and theres more gamers over 18 than there is under so what teens want there not gonna get like the past , it's what Wii want.
