This is a very popular topic on the internet and I'd like to hear how everyone feels about each system manufacturer here at EF. I personally am a huge fan of Nintendo, always have been, but I have all of the systems. I can't wait until Zelda: Twilight Princess comes out, it's going to be amazing!

What is your favorite gaming company?

I'd go for Nintendo in the first place, then Microsoft :turned:

**Hexation** · 07-10-2006, 06:00 AM

I clicked Sony. Except for Zelda: The Twilight Princess, I don't think Wii will be worth it as PS3 looks to be better and has more mature games.

Actually Wii is going to be a bit more mature then all of the other Nintendo consoles. PS3 is going to be a tough one to compete with. XBox 360 is already cleaning up, but I believe the Nintendo Wii will do pretty well.

If I recall the last time Nintendo tried to make something more mature, they failed miserably.

I'll have to go with Sony because I don't really trust Microsoft, even if they release a couple of good games.

Indeed they did try but with the Wii's power and hardware they will have the ability to really go that route. They've already confirmed a few games along the mature level and are going to make a bunch more. Not sure how much more mature they are going to be compared to the XBox 360 or the PS3, but they definitely have a pretty good edge with titles such as Zelda, Mario, and Donkey Kong.

The problem was not the hardware, the problem is never the hardware. Nintendo made a fortune with games for kids and teens and it become thei strenght, as well as thei trade mark.

I'm not sure they will be able to overcome that, unless they hired people with experience in writing / designing mature games

No I know it's not in the hardware. I am just saying though, more mature games look better on better hardware, and PS2 and XBox had better hardware then the Cube and 64.

These consoles depend on the third party gaming companies to make there games, unless they make them themselves. In fact Nintendo has the support of many third party vendors, they just don't create as many mature games as the other consoles, which is why I hope they change that route on the Wii.

I love the 360. I can't wait for Forza2!!

**Karl89.co.uk** · 07-10-2006, 04:16 PM

Got to be Microsoft. Loved the Xbox, love the Xbox 360. Can't wait until Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2 and a few other titles.

**Hoang** · 07-10-2006, 04:20 PM

Sony has been talking a lot of smack lately so I'm leaning towards Nintendo right now.

I'm not a big fan of Microsoft.

**Tran** · 07-10-2006, 04:36 PM

Honestly.. this is how I would rank it..

#1 Nintendo
#2 Sony
#3 ... who was #3? lol

But yeah.. all jokes aside.. if nintendo brings back all the old games then I will definitely look into buying the Wii

**imported_Tony** · 07-10-2006, 06:18 PM

I said Wii because Xbox 360 isn't that great (I have one). Sony PS3 is going to be a killer to buy. (Something like $500-600 for the system and like $70+ for the games WTF?!?) And Sony games are going to take 239423409234 years to release because they are going to try SO hard to make every detail perfect. Wii is going to the entertainment theme as there are approaching with new entertainment/gameplay not graphics.

**imported_AMDWarrior** · 07-19-2006, 05:19 PM

Ive always gone to Sony, I have had systems by all three makers, Use to prefer Xbox cause no memory cards and crap. But for some reason Sony keeps bringing me back.

**josephine** · 07-19-2006, 05:32 PM

Nintento though the games are not so mature.I used to play lots of ninteno games though I haven't for some years now:P. I hope they'll start making mature games .

**Mr. Websites** · 07-19-2006, 05:59 PM

I know this may sound odd, but I love Microsoft! The company’s xBox is far more appealing while playing games such as Grand Theft Auto, when compared to Sony’s PlayStation. While most persons can’t help criticizing the company, I just happen to be an exception.

**chihpih** · 07-20-2006, 06:58 PM

i had ps1, skipped on ps2 and now waiting for ps3. i am hoping that i will be able to buy 10 units and then flip them for a nice profit during the holiday season
