Microsoft, easily. They don't have an identity behind their games, most of them feel like trying to chase fleeting trends and nowadays are not even all that interested in consoles themselves, but rather try to establish some subscription based business that would be bad for consoles in the long run.
I honestly feel that if you lose Microsoft in the console business, not much would be lost.

There is no real need for an Xbox console, you could just get low/high spec PC and play all MS games.

My god, the shock and awe, I'm just baffled by the pole results on this forum.
Microsoft Innovates, Sony copies, and Nintendo simply makes games.
My first choice would be Sony, Nintendo is a close 2nd.

This is bitter, passionate, honest hate right here... built up over many years.
I can see the wisdom by the mods for allowing this thread to stay open. Need a safety valve thread for all that negativity and pent up anger. It's gonna be rough for another year or two for some folks.

If Sony left manufacturing they would still publish on PC, Xbox and Switch like SEGA.
So there would be no real need for a Playstation console, you could just get a low/high spec PC and play all Sony games.

I'd rather all three stick around for the sake of competition and catering to different markets/tastes.
That said if one has to go I'd probably say MS. They don't do much innovative or different from Sony with hardware unlike Nintendo who does their own thing. MS could just go third party or focus on Gamepass and Xcloud on a variety of devices and I wouldn't miss much.

It's not just "removing competition" permanently. The market would obviously react and a new equilibrium would be reached after a while.

Microsoft. Their games bore me to tears and I'm not interest in their subscription service.

not nintendo because they're unique in their console approaches
MS and Sony are really similar
I voted to eject MS for the sole reason because they into the game later than Sony

Controversial choice here but - Nintendo.
After the Gamecube, they've really stopped competing hardware wise and it's been all about innotivation or the games themselves. I like having them around but in the console space, I wouldn't miss them. I'd much rather them continue as a AAA game developer and simply release their games on a Sony or Microsoft platform.
Nintendo is very conservative with their hardware and spending so I'd really like to see what they could do when they didn't have to worry about that aspect.

I really enjoy the part that WOULD ruin gaming, and not MS who already tried with XO with always online, no used games etc..
Good one

Nintendo never the only truly gaming company.
Sony nope has other bussiness but their gaming division is key for them. The most important plus they diversify on games.
Microsoft gaming division can dessapear and nothing happens plus less innovate games and recently they buy developers instead of develop.

As a mainly PC gamer, I love how MS and Sony are pushing each other. I'll buy a PS5 Pro for the Sony exclusives while playing MS exclusives on my PC.
Meanwhile Nintendo is doing it's own weird jaggy thing which I don't care for.
I tried, but their games are not for me.
Therefore, burn Nintendo.

Microsoft.
They will not be missed. Unlike Sony and Nintendo, I just cannot feel their passion in gaming.

Xbox and it's not even close.
I say this as an Xbox main for the last two generations.
Nintendo atleast knows what works and can develop great games each gen (even if certain consoles are less than stellar *cough* gamecube and Wii U *cough*) and Sony has quickly risen as my main de facto from even this gen. Regardless if some of their practices are anti-consumer (hesitation on cross-play and whatnot), I'll gladly take God of War over, say, halo 5.

Agreed. The worst part is that Xbox actually started really well.

Nintendo is too important to the gaming industry, after the first crash they were the ones that revived it, also their games are fun.
Microsoft will do great with game pass allowing many gemers to play lots of games they can't afford.
So my vote goes to Sony. too many movie games, LGBT, trans, BLM agendas in their games, only censors Japanese games while allowing butt sex and lesbian sex scenes in their Western AAA games etc.

360 was great though. Things could've been different.
The poll options are in alphabetical order FYI.

The difference is when Microsoft does something bad we tend to hold them accountable, they paid dearly for those bad ideas even though they reversed them immediately.
See a lot of bad ideas still coming from Sony and, crickets chirping on the lashback.

Voted Nintendo because their games lost its magic for me since I was 10 years old. I'm 37 now.

Arch-PlayStation fans are among the more insufferable wankers out there it's true, but it must be said that Sony's victory with PSone was 100% earned. They had the right hardware at the right price, bent over backwards to offer good deals for publishers, secured killer exclusives, and absolutely went out of their way to reach players globally by establishing unprecedented localisation processes, often out of their own pocket. PSone did everything right.

You might think that but in reality this is just another thread that encourages console wars, at a time when we're all supposed to be excited for new hardware. You disappoint me.
