Sony or Nintendo?

[Middlesbrough]

Well, Sony or Nintendo

[the wombats]

sony ftw!!!

[Nixt]

sony ftw!!!

I agree tbh, I don't know why I just do :s

[Kymux]

niiiiiiintendo, most original games, characters, consoles everythin

[emobusters]

nintendo.

[Homesrfan]

Nintendo...
amazing games that aren't just shooters.

[Glitter]

Nintendo!

[Rich.Boy]

Nintendo wins hands down!

[OMGitsaROSS]

Stupid question,
Make it more specific :S "/

[Josh-H]

I don't even know what you're asking.


You just stated 2 companies...


But if you're trying to get people to say which is better then this is just going to cause arguments but here is my view.

Nintendo was THE video game console company when I was growing up. When i was 5 I had the SNES then a n64 but then I never seemed to play on them... I went off mario and the other things and moved onto sony. Sony then had me hooked, ps1 then the ps2 ... Both amazing consoles. Then I discovered microsoft's xbox then the 360 so yer... Microsoft won me :P

So I think that this comes down to age range, intrests and overall personal choice!

[OMGitsaROSS]

Yea, but if you don't vote nintendo I think your not a true gamer.

Nintendo = Old Skool.
Sony = New crappy system.
Xbox = Lushz0r

Nintendo. Started off the console craze. Ever popular console which never seems to lose it's fun. Nearly every console/handheld was different. They believe in fun first, graphics and other stuff second. Original game play with amazing characters, adventures and innovative ideas.

Sony seem to stay the same lines and never bring out anything that interests me.

Microsoft seem to have so many errors with them and the gameplay isn't fun either (this is playing with one in the shop).

=o Grand theft auto san andrreas, compare that to mario =D

[Scriptermone]

Regardless of games/consoles, sony is the best... Nintendo is only famous for games/consoles, on the other hand you've got Sony, worldwide famous for 100's of different products, from TV's to Cameras, from Keyboards(piano) to consoles.

I choose Sony.

[-Sweex]

Nintendo.

As for the post above its about consoles read the section this is in fgs.

[Oni]

=o Grand theft auto san andrreas, compare that to mario =D
Hmmm lets have a look shall we
Mario has starred in nearly 200 games and he isnt boring
Gta has about 15 games oh and look they are boring and unoriginal

[Blinger1]

Im Talking about personal choice.
I went for Nintendo Ive always loved them i never Really got into sony that much i play on my ps2 sometimes but it didn't really click with me

[Wayne]

I have always loved Nintendo consoles, but I play on my PS2 a lot aswell. I'd say Nintendo.

[GommeInc]

=o Grand theft auto san andrreas, compare that to mario =D
You can't? Mario is an adventure game while GTA is an action/RPG "/ So no, you can't compare them and your idea of trying to get me to is stupid too.

wikipedia thanks
Now compare Sony PSP and Nintendo DS and you'll find a big difference "/ Also, I guess you didn't have the blindest bit of sense to notice a PS2 can be used as a music player, DVD player and a games console? While a Nintendo product revolves around the console job, because that is what it is meant to be. So naturally, a PS2 would sell quite well. It doesn't mean the gameplay is any good "/

[viperkyle1]

i remember when nintendo and sega were rivals and they always battled out, selling similiar games. e.g mario and sonic.

[louder]

nintendo.

nintendo have origional consoles + don't copy the others (sony + microsoft)
they've been around for ages + know what they're doing. they may not have the best graphics going, but who needs graphics? it's gameplay that matters + most of the past nintedo consoles have proven to have great gameplay.
the ds, it's great - touchscreen.
the wii - motion sensor pads.
the gameboy - SMALL + PORTABLE unlike the psp, great battery life, and with the advance sp you charge it instead of using batterys, thats great aswell because you can get car chargers for it.
the gamecube - yes, you use a pad like most other consoles but it's pad is origional + it's a party kinda console, great multi player + it's games aren't all shooting games + whatever.

i could go on but i think people get tired with my essay-long posts in the console forums.
i doubt many people read them tbh, i never spend my time reading long posts.

EDIT;
@ the guy who said sony sell more.
i'd like to change that.
sony HAVE sold more.
they sold tonnes more playstation 2's than nintendo sold gamecube - it was a way better console.
the first two sony consoles were immense (the ps2 + psx) but they're getting boring with not enough origional ideas + are just getting over-priced.
also, if you want to talk about who have sold more - i think you;ll find sony have. they've been around longer than i've been alive. they must have sold millions of nintendo's + nintendo 64's + nes + snes's because they were amazing consoles for thier time + they continue to make great consoels for thier time.
they've been around longer than sony + if you want to see how many consoles nintendo have sold out of ALL thier consoles - youll find that they've sold more than sony out of all thier consoles.
somone wikipedia it + i'll +rep.

just think of all the nintedo consoles;
nes
snes
nintendo
n64
gameboy
gameboy pocket
gameboy colour
gameboy advance
gameboy advance sp
gamecube
ds
wii

and lets look at sony's range on consoles;
psx
the small psx
ps2
ps2 slimline
psp

i'm pretty sure nintendo have sold more over the years.
+ don;t try and correct me with "U FORGOT DA PS3!" because that's not even been released yet + therefore, cannot have been sold.

[viperkyle1]

people could argue that sony have got quality over quantity. they have sold more because they realeased more consoles. it doesnt make them better.
im not sure which side im taking but if sony released as many consoles as the nintendo, they could have sold more.

as i've said before.
they wouldn't have.
sony's consoles are all the same, they're not getting anything new about them, it's the same old crap - good graphics + shooting games.
people would have gotten bored.

+ like i said, the wikipedia information doesn't show every single nintendo console, just the ones in the era of sony + the reason they sold more then is because sony was a new consoles + everybody wanted one, now thats not the case.

[velvet]

Nintendo.
They always have new and original ideas and games with great storylines.
I've had nintendo consoles for as long as I can remember and I don't think i've ever really got bored of them.
Though, Sony have had some good games, they tend to be similar and get old after a while.

[Oni]

Dont forget
Pokemon mini
Gameboy micro
Virtualboy
Ds lite etc
Also arguably partly the playstation because originally it was sony and nintendo making it till nintendo saw it was going nowhere [and a dodgy contract], how right they were.

[PaulMacC]

Ninty has Sega on there side <3

Most Sonic game's and other's come out on Ninty Console's
Super Monkey Ball <3

To post above
Game & Watch V1
Game & Watch Super Mario Bros
Game & Watch Donkey Kong

Dont forget
Pokemon mini

oh yer, i forgot those, cheers +rep.
and as i was saying, nintendo have made many more consoles so yer, i'm sure nintendo have sold more.

[+44]

Nintendo by far.

Old skool ftw!

[:Hazel]

ive always owned playstations so id have to say sony.

[NintendoFreak]

Nintendo

I Like Sony For other things such as the in built DVD player.

Its official that the DS is the fastest selling handhekd in the world beating PSP by lots here: Proof

[Neversoft]

Nintendo by FAR.


So I think that this comes down to age range, intrests and overall personal choice!

It has nothing to do with age range. Interests and personal choice, well duh...


Regardless of games/consoles, sony is the best... Nintendo is only famous for games/consoles, on the other hand you've got Sony, worldwide famous for 100's of different products, from TV's to Cameras, from Keyboards(piano) to consoles.

What have TV's and Cameras got to do with the Console Games forum though? This is about their consoles, not other stuff.


don;t try and correct me with "U FORGOT DA PS3!" because that's not even been released yet + therefore, cannot have been sold.

It has been released and has been sold...

[Simmzay]

Personally I've stuck through with Nintendo since NES and I had to go through he PS>N64 and PS2>GCN phase and I still don't care, I love them. They make quality games and as long as they're alive I'll buy their stuff. It's all down to preference though, don't believe anyone who says one of them blows because they're both quality companies.

[Axel]

I'm not saying PS2 is better, but just because Nintendo has loads of consoles, doesn't make them better? Like all of the handheld variations... Gameboy is just normal, gameboy pocket is a smaller gameboy, gameboy colour is a gameboy just with colour, gameboy advance is a gameboy colour with some better games, gameboy advance sp is just the same but more compact, etc...

Maybe you're looking at it the wrong way. Maybe the fact they've survived this long and still create quality consoles/games is the reason why they're superior.

It's called consistency.

yes -- gameboy was upgraded, but thats just one type nintendo console.
all of the different types of console are different and origional + thats what makes it better than the ps2.

Yes maybe a gameboy colour was a gameboy with more games but the gameboy advance was completely different.

Im not im saying the opposite

he ment "how can you say that? all mario's are the same aswell"


how can you say that all marios are the same as well! I choose SOny although the PS3 is gunna be crap, but nintendo really started off the whole game craze with the NES! SNES was the best console ever made!

mario by far is not the same.. there's so many different types of mario games such as the racing ones, they're completely different to the origional ones.
even the origional ones have different levels + creatures + stuff.
however gta have ran out of idea's and now have to use the same levels/islands/places once again, mario doesn't do that.

he ment "how can you say that? all mario's are the same aswell"



mario by far is not the same.. there's so many different types of mario games such as the racing ones, they're completely different to the origional ones.
even the origional ones have different levels + creatures + stuff.
however gta have ran out of idea's and now have to use the same levels/islands/places once again, mario doesn't do that.

so yer.
shut yr trap.

Your right although im not particuarly fond of the spin offs [bar mario kart]. But in every mario something new is added where as gtas are the same.

ROFL at that! That's either something you just exaggerated or you're high.

Why are some peoples reason for disliking Nintendo because of Mario? Mario isn't the DS "/ Really, the discussion for Sony Vs Nintendo is about game play, not the games on it "/

Is graphics the only thing people care about these days? And why is it that people tell off Ninendo's mascots, Play Station 3 is for shooting stuff and playing basketball, also should i remind you that only some
games are worth playing for the PS3 and its over priced, also ugly.

Only reason they have for hating it. I believe in gaming experience and how to play a game in a particular genre. Not how good it looks...

oh great, we've got another sony fanboy who things graphics make a console..

mario by FAR isn't nintendo's only good games, they have such a wide variety but your obviously either too narrow-minded or idiotic to see that.
i know these games aren't exactly great but what about pokemon? i bet they've sold a few million.

nintendo always make great games + origional consoles + thats why they're better than sony, all they care about is bloody graphics.
look where thats got them;
the ps3 = so over priced they'll hardly sell any.
the psp = takes about 5 mins to load games!

as i've said before, the only good thing thats came from sony's console range is the ps2.

I think graphics are important but you put far too much importance to it. I agree a game should look good, but that should only come second to actual gameplay. Think about all the modified versions of tetris, I don't think a game like that has survived this long because of its visual aspects. Gameplay makes a game good, boosted with graphics you can make a good game great. Nintendo are very capable of decent graphics, BUT don't put too much importance on it.

FGS Stick this
Why? To keep people ranting about video game consoles, a never-ending argument that is mostly composed of flaming and insult-monging? "/

Play games to enjoy them, not because a certain company made them. That's what gaming is about. If you like prettier-looking games- fine. If you like more intuitive games, go for it. Doesn't matter which platform its on, as long as it's fun and enjoyable to you, because in all honesty, your opinion holds no merit to someone who enjoys playing games in a different platform than your own.

(On topic; I personally prefer Nintendo. :))
