If the gen ended Jan1st which console would have the most memorable library

[Dodece]

I would interpret memorable to be noteworthy in a future sense. In other words which games would you remember ten years from now, and which platform would they have been on.

I would say the Xbox 360 follow be the PS3, and at the far end the Wii. That is not to say the Wii itself will not be a memorable console it surely will be for many reasons. However its library is very much a carbon copy of the Game Cube library which was very much a carbon copy of the 64s library. So there is little new to speak of, and the new installments haven't really pushed these old franchises into new directions.

The PS3 will be memorable for another reason entirely. The consoles library would be notorious, and an object lesson for the future. A barren landscape when it came to exclusives, and a home for 360 ports. The console would only have a few stand out titles. Ironically if it weren't for the titles for multiple platforms the console would actually have a worse library then the Wii.

No I am not going to mention the hits on the 360 I am thinking more along the lines of the first time I saw something. Microsoft is comparatively late to the party so they are still fleshing out their key franchises. So when you look back at this generation you are going to see where a lot of franchises got their start on the 360, and your going to remember some rather innovative titles. Think of Crackdown, Gears of War, Dead Rising, Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Mistwalker. These are the games that will send ripples through the coming generations. These titles were fresh and they will be associated with the brand.

I am not talking about which is most enjoyable, but which would be more memorable before anyone gripes. Which are you most likely to remember ten years from now. Which are you more likely to remember at that point just one more installment in tried and true franchises, or where franchises got their start. Everyone who was there can still recall the first time they played Zelda or Mario Brothers. How about the first time you saw a 3D platformer, or a CGI movie in a videogame.
