So, you have to give the main annoyance you have with each; and no crap "the worse thing is they make more great games than I can buy" fanboy answers.
I'll make a thread about the main things you like about each afterwards.
For me it's the following:
Sony:
[spoiler]constantly delayed games. I mean I'm all for not releasing a game until it's ready, but how about properly investing into larger development teams so we don't have to wait until 5 years after announcement! This goes for first and second party games[/spoiler]
Microsoft:
[spoiler]marketing bulls*it! Seriously, you have a good system and good games so you can stop with things like: "the best holiday line up ever!" - according to whom?; oculus integration that actually doesn't allow for VR but deliberately not making that clear; hololense "demonstrations" that are a complete fiction and claims about "the cloud" (making the xbone 300 times more powerful? Really?)![/spoiler]
Nintendo:
[spoiler]releasing the same franchises year on year / cheaping out on hardware...I know that's 2 but they are both related to a degree in that the lack of multiplats makes the scarcity of first party newness less forgivable[/spoiler]
How about you?

1 ReplyThe worst thing about owning Xbox is that Microsoft isn't doing a very good job at being unique.

16 RepliesOne HUGE thing that both companies (Microsoft and Sony) are horrible at are making exclusives. There is nobody on this planet or in the galaxy that can rightfully defend exclusives, they EXCLUDE gamers from playing games that they might enjoy and can recommend to other friends / family members to play. Exclusives are nothing but bad for the consumer.

Sony: [spoiler]Horrendous delays, Can't change Psn name and the choice of promoting more "Cinematic experiences" in their first party titles (The Order 1886, Beyond Two souls, Until Dawn, Killzone Shadowfall's tech demo feel instead of an actual game. [/spoiler] Microsoft: [spoiler]That bullshit marketing, destroying Black Tusk Studios (Or coalition whatever) original AAA IP to start developing an already established IP, Cloud Promos, the UI on the X1 is still terrible, not taking more risks with IPs.[/spoiler] Nintendo: [spoiler] the Metroid hate boner they apparently have on the series, amiibos (glorified action figures) and not trying to atleast put their best effort to compete more with Sony and Microsoft (i tell you with a powerful console and nintendo huge IP catalog they can make MS and Sony put better efforts and bring back third party titles.[/spoiler]

5 RepliesEdited by Puckish Rogue: 11/25/2015 11:10:33 PMMy only complaint about sony is that they need to make it so we can change are psn id names even if it's only once because I mean it's 2015 soon to be 2016 and like Patrick Star once said we have technology.

3 RepliesEdited by Zanhattan: 11/25/2015 7:13:36 PMSony: [spoiler]PoS controller build quality. Emphasis on 'cinematic' games. Features on PSN that have yet to be implemented. PoS stability (maybe not that much). PoS 'edition' PS4s that are tacky. [/spoiler] MS: [spoiler]They've been doing really good actually, but I wish they'd experiment with new IPs more often like Sony does (and not just Forza Forza Forza, Halo, Forza, Gears, Forza...). (They're doing better on this front actually).[/spoiler] Nintendo: [spoiler]Relying on the same franchises and rehashing them. Selling budget games at AAA prices (seriously, Star Fox Zero better look like Battlefront if it's gonna be $60). Gimmicks. Thinking their games market themselves. [/spoiler]

1 ReplyI don't like how much Xbox tries to be a social media instead of just a gaming platform.

Sony: [spoiler]I still can't change my goddamn Psn name.[/spoiler] Microsoft: [spoiler]Still riding on the back of Halo and Gears of War I see.[/spoiler] Nintendo: [spoiler] Lack of 3rd party games. Just seems behind the other 2 consoles in a lot of ways.[/spoiler]
