Not trying to start a holy war or anything (normally happens on this subject) just a quick poll
Who do you think is the best over all company (when it comes to gaming) please explane why you like the one you like and what you don't like about the others.

Personally I prefer Nintendo I think there games are more fun and have a better overall feel and story then most other games by the other two (excluding halo it thas a good story) and just feel that nintendo is more innovative then the other two now a lot of poeple call Nintendo "gimmicky" however I call them innovative which at times can seem gimmicky, just like having high confidence can make you seem "cocky" or rude innovation can make a company seem gimmicky... Or that's what I believe

I'm pretty Sure Sony actually does make some of their own games. I could be wrong, but I know they have their own game development studios.

They do have their own in house gaming studio. Except the only game that comes to mind is Ape Escape and that was on the PSX. >_>" Which is like ages ago.

Nintendo does too make games; Super Mario bros., The legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donky Kong, Smash bros., nintendogs, Kirby, Star Fox... Just to name a few (all listed are series not individual games)
...and Microsoft does make some games but mainly relies on 3rd party just like Sony
Example; Halo (343 industrys), call of duty (actividion), Portal (valve) ect...

While I Iike them all, I am much more favourable to Sony's hardware.

The PS3 is the slickest looking system, and has an OS to match. Far less clunky than the green thing Xbox has got going on, and Nintendo spend too long trying to make everything all cute and fluffy.

Also, the Vita's awesome. Blows the 3DS out the water at everything.

So, while I'm a PC gamer (which by the way I'm rather offended that it didn't make the list ;) suppose you could put it under microsoft, but thats a bit misleading ) Sony makes the best consoles in my honest opinion.

For a gaming console I still prefer Sony to all the others.

Voted Sony. Nintendo is good and fun with stuff like Super Mario Bros, but the Wii is most definitely not a serious gaming platform. PS3 v.s. Xbox is no contest, PS3 is just better all around. (IMO)

Nintendo is the only actual game company still making consoles, and they are always the ones driving innovation in the hardware department through both the devices themselves and the games that make good use of said devices (though it took them like... 5 years to get this done with the Wiimote through Skyward Sword). D-pad, shoulder buttons/triggers, analog controls, controller rumble, first-party wireless controller, and motion controls - all Nintendo. I certainly wouldn't want to see what happens to console gaming without Nintendo to prod it forward. I can't say the same for either of the other two companies on that list (though there does always have to be someone there to provide competition).
