So.......I'm bored and I felt like making a topic to ask- who is the most evil out of the Big Three? Perhaps the word "evil" is a bit melodramatic but anyway, the poll only relates to the gaming industry. So Sony's rootkit fiasco and MS's various lawsuits etc..... don't count. Which company do you think has done the most dastardly deeds in relation to the gaming industry?

all Nintendo cares about anymore is cash they make off selling Wii's to old people plus they said hardrives are for geeks, in other words, they called PS3/360/PC gamers (or everyone who doesn't own their console) a geek. oh no you didn't!

Microsoft by far. Nintendo is the most greedy though. I mean the Wii is essintially repackaged Gamecube hardware for $250 (and probably even cheaper to make).

All corporations are equally bad and dangerous...but none are evil. Corporations are worse than evil. They are amoral, with no personal responsibility, and legall obligated to do harm if it means making money.

Holy ****, I didn't expect MS to dominate the poll this badly. I was expecting it to be 55% MS, 35% Sony and 10% Ninty. Keep the votes coming, guys.

I dont really know how MS and Nintendo treat Europe, but Sony does treat them bad.

They better stop that too, Europe has show an amazing amount of support for the PS3.

I'd say Microsoft. I know "it's just business", but I don't approve of their buying out methods.

In truth though, they're all evil. Why you ask? Because they all have more money than they can hold in 2 hands. And I think that anybody that has more money than they can hold in 2 hands, ought to give it all to me.

Okay, I ask: how bad does Sony treat the European market then?

well...

the PS3´s "worldwide" launch in 2006 did not include Europe

instead Europe only saw the PS3 in march 2007

the 60 gig model of the PS3 in Europe did not use hardware emulation, it used software emulation, which means very few PS2 games could be played at the time

we still dont have the dualshock bundle and some european countries dont have the dualshock at all

the 20 gig model of the xbox 360 costs 350 dollars in the US and 250 Euros in Europe

250 euros= 387 dollars

the 40 gig model of the PS3 costs 400 dollars and 400 euros

400 euros= 620 dollars

(if the european version of the PS3 was the most expensive then why did it lack the emotion chip in the first place?)

360 and Wii games are generally cheaper then the PS3 games in europe

in my country for example the collector´s edition of devil may cry 4 for the 360 is actually cheaper then the regular version of devil may cry 4 for the PS3

proof


I am not saying MS and Nintendo are fair to us, but not as bad as sony if you ask me

EDIT: oh yeah and GT5 prologue costs 40 euros in my country

proof

40 euros = 62 dollars

a tad expensive for a "demo" no?

Microsoft, for charging a yearly rate for xbox live, rrod, and micro transactions. Sony a close second for charging so much at launch and only dropping price because of poor sales.

-Honorable mention: All three are evil because they charge 50+ for controllers. Ridiculous!

I mean ffs they've already most likely spent more money bribing developers for timed exclusiveness and exclusive content in their versions of games then they do on the production of their consoles.

This gen: Microsoft(defective hardware)

Last gen: Sony (defective hardware)

All time: Sony (mostly stealing stuff from Nintendo, but Microsoft steals it too... so ... )

Btw, I own a Wii, a PC, and I just recently bought a PS3, so this is an unbiased opinion.

Nintendo. No Goldeneye on XBLA arcade pretty much sums that one up, lol. But no seriously, none of the companies are evil. Thier competing. Their trying to deliver the best product, and make money. Nothing wrong with that. Everything their doing is how the business world works. It may not always be pretty, but that's how it is. I don't know how well this will work, but I see each of the three console companies as NFL teams. Each one is competing with one another for that Super Bowl Prize at the end of the season.

OMG, you're so full of fail it's not even funny.

You might want to take a peek in the business section of your newspaper (that rolled up thing you deliver to your neighbours), just to check how your "stocks" are doing sometime ....

180 dollars for a 120gb HDD? Check.

Stealing exclusives? Check.

Having the most money of the 3? Check.

None of them, but if I had to pick, Sony. Mainly because they're trying to move gaming away from gaming. Let me explain: they cram their products so full of functions that it becomes watered down, and the focus is anything but games.

The HDD is expensive, but does that mean they have bad business practises? What if i told you they used to sell consoles at a loss, does that make them angels?

Stealing exclusives? Bullcrap, Sony are by far the most guilty for this

Being rich makes you evil? At least they are earning it...
