What's your opinion on Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft?

Question

I just wanna know.

Answer 1

First off all the companies are pretty good but each one has a different strong point and as you'll notice that's what they'll focus on.
The first up is Nintendo, it is the revolutionary. They push the limits and their minds to come up with new ways to interact with the games. They constantly change the way that we think of games also. Nintendo constantly just tries out new ideas wheter or not they flop(Virtual Boy) or succeed(DS). Nintendo is the one you can count on for coming out of left field with something and 9 times out of 10, it works and we love it. For example everyone loved the light gun in Duck hunt. Everyone loves the touch screen on their DS. I mean come on, everyone can name atleast 5 or so innovative things that Nintendo has done that they cherish. Which brings me to another point. Nintendo feels more like a family for most of us because we grew up with them. Where as the other companies feel pretty foreign still(atleast tom me)They also focus on being the cheapest on the market. The games that they have are usually quirky and they also really stand behind 3rd party developers. The draw back with Nintendo is usually that thier graphics pale in comparison to the other two big dogs. People feel that Nintendo is just for kids but they too easily forget about Mario, the first Metroid(you know what I'm talking about if you beat the game), and many others.

The next up is Sony. Sony pushes the limits with it's sheer number of games. They have so many games out that it's guaranteed that you'll find atleast 20 or so that you'll like and 10 that you'll love. It's pure Zurg strategy. Another thing that Sony uses is multiple features. Take the PSP for example, it not only plays games, movies, music, podcasts, but it also connects to the internet, allows you to view photos and more. So with this it brings me to the problem with Sony, price. The price for the PSP is 259 if you get everything, and 199 if you get the "basic" setup. As opposed to the 179 for the DS lite or the 179 for the original ds and that'll get ya everything. Also Sony tends to have the beefed up systems, but that once again goes along with the plethora of features that you'll get with getting one of the systems.

Last but defnitely not least, Microsoft. Microsoft is as everyone knows the new guy, but they are the cool new guy that everyone kinda digs. lol Microsoft's strong point lies in online game play. Sony has online, but the community is no where near as strong as Microsoft's Live. The reason being because you get so much when you go on live in comparison to Sony's. With Live you can download old games, maps, patches, weapons, mini-games, demo's and so much more. It's like practically being just connected straight to a browser that gives you the complete internet. Also the fact that you have a hard drive built into your system gives you the ability to save a massive amount of games along with songs. So now, if you dont like the crummy music that comes with the game you can go around popping helmets in Halo to "Gin and Juice" or "Party all the time" if you want to. Microsoft also has the strongest graphics(I mean right now and when you compare it with the same generation consoles ie. Gamecube and PS2 with XBOX NOT 360)) Though this will change when PS3 drops. Also the price for the 360 although steep it's not too unreasonable. The draw back with Microsoft is the fact that it's new. Because it's new it doesnt have as many known and popular games as Nintendo or Sony. So that's what I feel and know about the three big uns. hope this helped

Answer 2

All depends on what you're looking for. They all have strong points, as well as weak points. For Sony, all of the Playstations games and systems are playable on the newer systems, excluding the PSP. The Playstation chain hasn't had that good of graphics, but the game play is un beatble. With Microsoft, the Xbox and Xbox360, can play games on a "system play-back", but for the Xbox360, you need an additional hard drive to do so, which, in my opinion, is a waste of money. Nintendo has been probably the least combatable system to bad mouth, but it has it's weak points also. With all of the Nintendo systems, like Gameboy and NES, you had to clean the data port frequently, with the Gamecube, the disks are very small and fragile. Although I put a disk through a stress test, and they don't break easily, but the information is delicate. BEWARE OF SCRATCHES WITH GAMECUBE!!!! But, as almost all of the Nintendo trademarks have gone, Mario is probably the best line of game ever invented. Which is why I have to give my final opinion to Gamecube. I hope this answered your question, in any way possible.

Answer 3

Nintendo is for KIDS, they won't make good games for older gamers and keep making them. Don't get me wrong Eternal Darkness was great. They even had the new Resident Evil first. In the end though about 75% or more of their games were really more for kids.
Sony is better, and nintendo really BLEW it when they passed on the playstation since it would have been an add-on to the Nintendo.
Microsoft came in late but is becoming one of the best systems. Espically considering that they have the money to do that. They see the mone in gaming so they are taking advantage of it.

Answer 4

On Sony i would say overall they put out good quality electronic and game systems. They are made in Japan and that is where the best electronics come from. Most of my home electronics are Sony. As for Nintendo they pretty much only make video game systems. In recent years they have lost a big share of the market to Sony's PS2. But the Wii loOKs like it will sell ok and keep the company afloat. And Microsoft is a huge company that makes the best software for home computers in the world, but when it come to making game systems like the x-box 360 they fail as far as I'm concerned. The 360 is sub-par in workmanship because it is made in the U.S.A.

Answer 5

Nintendo isn't even in the new console war. It boils down to either X Box 360 or PS3, and even though it's not out yet I say PS3. Sony has proved to be reliable with PS3's predecessors and I think they'll come through again. Also Sony has shown that they will continue to bring out the latest in technology no matter the risk involved in advancing too fast.

I vote SONY !

Answer 6

NIntendo has over 12 systems, and 2 with double screens. now tell me... WHO has ALWAYS revolutionized gaming and takin it to new levels!!!!! NINTENDO! sure playstation was good til the REVOLUTION comes out. and microsoft should just stick to computers. Nintendo is way better than Sony simply because of Mario and the DS. Screw Sony. buy NIntendo so they'll have more money to fund the Nintendo Millenium. what's that u ask? it can play download ALL nintendo games, it's a gold color, and it can store movies, music, photos, and surf the web
it's wi-fi is incredibly strong, and it's portable

Answer 7

Nintendo is the visionary and least interested in competition. It doesn't want to outsell Sony and Microsoft by being everyone's first choice...it wants to win by being everyone's second choice. It is secure financially due to its domination of the hand-held market and may have finally struck upon a winning strategy. It doesn't really care for its kiddie label because its a fallacy, as games like Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and now Red Steel(allowing you to wield your weapons with the Wii mote) get across. Seriously, people who call Ninty kiddie think that only blood, violence, and profanity make a game "adult." Now THAT'S childish...

Sony and Microsoft are more interested in making money and being everyone's first choice, but the general similiarity of their consoles means they are in direct conflict and one of them is going to take a dive for it. Sony especially is pushing the point where consoles become downright unprofitable and is watching the DS beat the crap out of its ill-fated PSP. In spite of that, I think Sony will win and Ninty will laugh on the sidelines...

Answer 8

in my opinion i admire Sony the main suitable. each and everything they make seems to be Grade a high quality each and all the time. Nintendo is far greater innovative and imaginative and microsoft i think of is vulnerable in many things and in simple terms have been given fortunate with the xbox360.

Answer 9

Nintendo is meant for all type of gamers no matter what age. Sony just wants your savings bond to get their products (like the upcoming PS3). Microsoft is ok in my book, but they should really focus on fixing their Windows.

Answer 10
