Which company over all has been better?

Not counting just this generation.

Sony for meh, as much as I loved growing up with mario, the games I truly will never forget were played on Sony consoles.

Overall? Nintendo. Easy

XBOX went from obscurity to household name in the face of fierce competition and in only 2 consoles, they win.

Nintendo has more than ten years one the compitition. Classic Mario and stuff what is better except new Mario and Stuff

XBOX went from obscurity to household name in the face of fierce competition and in only 2 consoles, they win.

Nintendo did that against Sega and others in the 90's

I miss sega

If it's not just current gen you should include Atari and Sega. It should be:

Microsoft - (For stealing and improving DOS, the foundation of it all)

Atari

Nintendo

Sega

Sony

XBOX went from obscurity to household name in the face of fierce competition and in only 2 consoles, they win.

Sony did that with the PS1.

Edit: also my answer to the poll is Nintendo but Sony is a close second.

oh, of all time definetly nintendo.

I gotta give it to Microsoft, who would have thought they'd make it this far, the jump from xbox to xbox 360 has shown a huge improvement in MS overall, they have truly earned their spot in the gaming industry, the 360 is doing great, with a greal lineup of games, ( + easier to develop games for it)

ofcourse Nintendo's great, but I didn't expect anything lesser from them, I knew they will always have a solid presence in the industry, I love Nintendo but I have to admit they are alienating some of their original gamers with the direction they are taking, so points down for that,

...and Sony, they just took a step backwards this generation, though they are furiously trying to fix it, maybe it might be too late, the damage has already been done, massive points down for that,

...EDIT: Thought you meant better for this generation, my bad, well overall for all gens I have to say Nintendo has been better, I enjoyed games more on Nintendo systems than the other ones

It's currently tied between Sony and Nintendo.

Sony with the PS3: hardware reliability, the most hardware packed in for the money, good free online service that continuously improves with timely updates, timely great exclusive games both disc and from PSN Store, price cuts at perfect times to bring the system down to allow all types of incomes to afford it, many nice bundles and HDD sizes for all, and now a sleek Slim version with a 120gb HDD for only $299.

Nintendo overall, MS this gen
