The game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dennis is a great guy, and is paid to be loyal to his Microsoft family. I think Nintendo&#8217;s first-party content is vastly superior to either other console manufacturer&#8217;s, and don&#8217;t think that either Sony or Microsoft would really dispute that,&#8221; he tells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.industrygamers.com\/news\/nintendo-first-party-vastly-superior-to-microsoft-sony\/\" target=\"_blank\">IndustryGamers.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;As far as who is better, Sony or Microsoft, I&#8217;m not sure why anyone cares about my opinion. I have all three consoles, and love Sony first party titles like God of War, Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Little Big Planet and the upcoming Twisted Metal, and I love Microsoft first party titles like Halo, Forza, Fable, Alan Wake and Gears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure that there is a scientific way to determine who is better, but that&#8217;s like arguing about whether Ford is better than GM or whether Wal-Mart is better than Target. They&#8217;re both good, and people have different tastes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So there. It&rsquo;s Nintendo. Until somebody says it&rsquo;s Sony, anyway. Then back to Microsoft.
