Nintendo decided to make party games and try to appeal to non gamers instead of concentrating on quality content. Its why you can count off every great Wii game on just your fingers. And why most real gamers had there Wiis gathering dust while Nintendofags screeched PS3 HAZ NO GAMES.

I'd say the gaming company that largely abandoned real gamers to pander not even to casuals, but people who dont like games, but if they put in the effort might become casuals did the most harm to the industry.

>>379264409
Microsoft and Nintendo has done more harm than Sony ever will.
Sony sort of just goes along with whatever works instead of trying to screw up the formula

>>379265489
They do auto insurance? First I've heard of that.

>>379265193
>Sony couldn't even poke a stick at it's societal hold over their home country.
It's literally the only company that did exactly that actually, if you weren't an underage you'd know.

>Now that they've fucked up hard with the XBone they're already releasing the Scorpio, further giving the middle finger to all the tards that bought the boner.
>Put the focus more on marketing than actually developing first party games

Pic related is for Xbone, the policies they tried to introduce to absolutely fuck over the consumer in every way they could. Pic related doesn't even include the 1984-tier spy camera they had planned with the kinect to always be on listening in every single home it was in. Initially you couldn't even buy an XBone without also buying a kinect.

Microsoft is honestly the worst thing that ever happened to gaming. Sony, Nintendo and Sega have all been much, much better. Microsoft is straight AIDS.

>>379265061
bringing out the same franchise every year and every single inovation they made was trash, how are they better than sony and what did sony actually invent that is bad?

>>379264409
Honest answer, none. Sony is a leech that degrades the artform into a lifeless puddle. They have zero integrity and do nothing more than tow the safest line and throw their huge marketing budget behind it. Their gaming branch is their only successful venture and I don't know how, maybe gamers really are that stupid.

I know this thread will be filled to the brim with console war shit, but Microsoft is legit the company that have done the most harm to the video game industry. alongside EA.

Sony barely breaks even on gaming.

>Although Sony sells hundreds of products as varied as batteries and head-mounted 3-D displays, it so happens that Sony’s most successful business is selling insurance. While it doesn’t run this business in the United States or Europe, Sony makes a lot of money writing life, auto and medical policies in Japan.

>Its financial arm accounts for 63 percent of Sony’s total operating profit last year. Life insurance has been its biggest moneymaker over the last decade, earning the company 933 billion yen ($9.07 billion) in operating profit in the 10 years that ended in March.

>Sony’s film and music divisions, which produced hits like the Spider-Man movies and “Zero Dark Thirty” and recorded musicians like the cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the electronic music duo Daft Punk, have contributed $7 billion to the company’s bottom line over the last decade.

>In that time, Sony’s electronics division has lost a cumulative $8.5 billion.

>>379264409
Microsoft more or less monopolized PC games with DirectX turning it into a wannabe console with no choice so that's pretty bad.

If it weren't for Nintendo Sony wouldn't even be in videogames so I suppose you have a point.

>>379265917
This. But thinking further, all big game companies (MS, Sony, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft, etc) have heir own share of errors that ruined the industry. It was not only one but a soum of all of them.

>>379264629
Don't forget paid online.

>>379264606
Not really. Anything that kills off gaming journalism is a good thing, and you know, if you ignore it it doesn't have much impact on the actual games.

Here you only really get the cancer if you seek out the radiation so to speak.

Just yesterday a their CEO was talking about retro compatibility:

>" I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"

Then he rape Psygnosis corpse again and then he announced Wipeout "Remastered" "Collection".

Fuck Sony.

Microsoft easily.
Paid online would not be a thing without those greedy cunts and the dupes that supported them.

>>379266348
Not him, but generally they do since they have most western games and most Jap games.
Xbox mostly just get the western games and the big Jap releases like FF and what have you, Nintendo only gets Nintendo games(on their home consoles I mean).

>small chance to eat disc if not touched.

I can confirm this. It ate my guitar hero world tour. Game still worked but the entire centre hole of the disc was chipped and cracked. I was afraid to play or even put it back in the case for about a month. Now the disc tray only ejects if you press the button and smack the console.

>>379267187
im not expecting you to bother because you have no arguments

>>379267221
The 360 just feels like a budget device though and through. It just feels cheap and rattly and so badly built. From everything down to the weird hole covers to the wonky buttons.

Microsoft introduced online for consoles and the first time they did it they immidetly wanted money for it and got it thx to stupid people.
Next they tried to make their console online only.
These two things should tell you everything you need to know as to why the videogame industry is over as soon as only Microsoft remains the people hoping for nintendo to die or sony for that matter should consider this, because if micrsosoft for whatever reason is the only one standing they will be the only one for a fucking long time much longer than your puny lifespan.
