Nintendo have a heart albeit a small one. Sony do not. I dearly love sonic but SEGA putting him in games that are sh1t.
I dont care whether kids can play a game or not. I buy it if it's good. Or rather I would except I have no money.
Sony have gotten away with murder for years. Cursing and violence subtly creeping into their adverts and crap game after crap game selling millions.
The playstation 2 is regarded as the best console out there game-wise and even power-wise despite the fact that the X-Box has a better processor, spectacular games and a free hard drive which makes memory cards unnecessary.
Even the gamecube a fairly processor weak console has graphics which easily outstrip those of the PS2 but does anyone care? No, because the Playstation can afford to hang onto grand theft auto so every child in the world can nag their idiotic parents into buying them one and the gamecube is for "babies" and the X-box is for "nerds".
Games are my life, not just playing but studying them experiencing the world of games. Unlike comics games are successful but like comics profiteering is killing them.
The new X-Box will come without a hard drive. Why? Because it's more cost-effective to take the Sony route and rip people off with expensive memory cards than it is too be generous and hope younger gamers will be smart enough to realise it. They wont. They're stupid and rich and all they want is the game their friends tell them they should want.
I'm sorry if it appears I've gone insane but this is the one subject in the world which is really important to me. I like games but I'm not rich enough to play them anymore. And with todays consoles you cant win anyway...

So in answer to your implied question I like Nintendo better.
But if you want a company with a future look elsewhere.
