which is the best company..., in the videogame industry? Options

For me it would have to be Nintendo. Nintendo is a 115 year old company now and they've been manufacturing greatness since the 80's. All of the consoles and handhelds they have released to date have been successes, with the exception being the virtual boy, as it was just something to keep the public entertained until Nintendo 64 came out. Not just hardware, software too. Nintendo games have been arguably some the best games of all time.

In my opinion, Sega comes in a close second. If they hadn't made some business blunders, Sega would still be around now, probably ahead of Sony.

The only reason the playstation franchise was formed was because of a grudge against Nintendo. When Nintendo cancelled the Sony cd drive for the SNES in favor of the Phillips CD-I for SNES, Sony got pissed off and made the PlayStation.

Microsoft sucks.

The earlier companines were good but they had one flaw: They all went out of business because they were too fixed on bringing arcade games to the home rather than develop new and innovative games.

Unlike the past, it costs millions of dollars to develop a hit videogame, that's why we're not seeing as much competition as there was in the earlier years.

For me, the top company would be nintendo also. It is the pure gaming company. Back from its game and watch days to current, it's always thinking up new ways of gaming. Virtual boy was a failure, but it's innovative and from what I've heard, it's an amazing gaming experience. (I can imagine playing bomberman on it, and seeing bombs fly over my head, just an amazing experience)
