Sony does make games, you just don't like them. Some of their games, I don't like or care for neither, but the games they make for the most part are games. Unless we're talking the Order 1886 or anything by David Cage.
Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo

You see, I'm not so sure. Microsoft really advanced the console industry forward by improving the online multiplayer space, putting console games on steam, and putting resources into mobile gaming. With nintendo putting their IP on the mobile market, and charging for online multiplayer in order to improve their online storefront, it feels like their following in Microsofts tracks. I think it will take time, and they'll probably never fully catch up, but I think this shows a positive change in the way Nintendo runs their business. They've always been a little bit out of touch in terms of their online functionality, and learning from microsoft could provide them with the inspiration they need to improve as a gaming company.
Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne, and The Last Guardian would beg to differ. Sony have already long realized the potential of video games as an art form and have backed titles that take advantage of the format to create unique, boundary-pushing experiences. I enjoyed playing A Link to the Past when I was young, but Nintendo have evolved and innovated little since then, instead content to rely on safe reiterations of their classic IPs to remain financially afloat.
Refrain from deriding other users when disagreeing. These forums are a civil space.
Spoken like a true, blind fanboy, Yoshi. If that laugh reaction you used to mock anyone that disagrees with you or thinks differently, then you really need to grow up. Unlike you, I will validate a console makers accomplishments, yet at the same time, they will all get equally called out for the screw ups they made in the past, present, and future. The only reason Sony is in the console business in the first place, is due to Nintendo having the bright idea to screw them over. You see how well that turned out for them in the past couple of decades. 1991, The Consumer Electronics Show. Big N has no one to blame, but themselves on that one.

Sony, no real contest for me. I own most Sony hardware (with the caveat that aside from the PS2, I've bought them halfway through their release generation to avoid technical issues they could've encountered) and given my caprice, they've offered more variety of games than the others. Sure, their output can be a bit hit and miss, but given how much they've turned out, I'm rather spoiled by the selection that's available.
Nintendo has some great IP (and I like how they conduct themselves in general), but good grief, do they crutch them (that 'some' is an operative word, here), while very little released by Microsoft has ever interested me much.

I'll agree with that. I think Microsoft innovated the landscape in terms of technical profficiency, and sony innovated artistically. Would we have gotten a Dark Souls without a Demons Souls? Unlikely. In a way, they've really helped shape the landscape.
actually i just find it funny that i don't even to say anything else before you people will start throwing personal insults towards me. and also find it funny how the escapist has labelled myself as the "Nintendo Defense force" in the past. and yet, here you all are rushing to defend your precious Sony. what about Xbox? where's their defense?

Interestingly enough, Xbox will not have anyone come to their defense until they get back to actually making games. The Xbox One has been the joke of this console generation as Microsoft has produced nothing but turds almost exclusively since launching the console. With only a couple of titles over the course of the entire generation garnering any sort of Critical success.
Also I don't know why you act surprised when people mock you. Your responses to almost any thread can be boiled down into a core foundation of "Nintendo good, everyone else bad". Much in the way nobody in surprised with B-Cell makes a "Greatest FPS of all time #23" thread. We've all seen this episode before and it's always a rerun.
Xbox has Halo and Gears of War. they're old franchise's that are a bit stale, but they're still good games
Xbox also makes the new Ori series with Ori and the blind forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps both being great games
i never said i was surprised about people mocking me.
this thread is just evidence of the "Sony Defense Force!"
I quite liked Microsoft this generation. Ori and Cuphead were the two best platformers of the generation.Xbox has Halo and Gears of War. they're old franchise's that are a bit stale, but they're still good games

wow!Just like Nintendo's 1st party output...
not at all like your history of liking stuff when there's a fresh "Sony Playstation" stamp on the box?
you said it yourself in this very thread!
Well also they shot their own console in the foot by putting all their exclusives on PC, thus removing a lot of the reason to own a Xbox in the first place. While not everyone would have a gaming PC, most people would still look and go, "Well I can ONLY get these games on PS4, but these other games are also on computer too." and thus even if they wouldn't play on PC the mentality of knowing that the games are available in other places, has clearly swayed people.
Fox didn't say anything about the xbox hardware just then. he was talking about Ori and Cuphead. two xbox games. nothing about it's hardware
Ah.... I see you are a man of refined taste buds, brother. Nothing beats drinking good coffee in a war-torn shisha parlour!
