Who has the best fall lineup? Category=Sports

[Onyxmeth]

I'm basing my info on the IGN release dates as they stand from yesturday, 9/3. Things can change; I know. My differentiation between genres may not suit your style perfectly; so fine. I will not be including Playstation 2 because it's last gen, so too bad. Do the work yourself if it's that critical.

Now that all of that is out of the way, here's the point. It's hard to say which system is always the best, because sales do not necessarily entail quality, and gems can pop up on even the most awful of consoles. I'm gonna go genre by genre and show the fall lineup. You guys then discuss who rules in that area. If the release dates get updated by new games added or pushed into next fall, we can reconvene and decide again what that means for each console. I have taken a few liberties by not adding any games specifically for children, such as Spongebob and Ben 10, and will not include any games that have to do with hunting because I figure no one wants to argue over that anyways. If I'm offending any hunting game fans, too bad. Spend your money more wisely in the future. So without further ado...

I'm gonna be quick about this, because I don't like sports games very much. The EA lineup is completely multiplatform, so it doesnt matter what system you have. The 2K series doesn't appear on the Wii only, so there's a small loss. PS3 has NBA 08 if anyone cares, but it also has the awesome Hot Shots Golf 5. Wii has Super Swing Golf 2 which will be equally as awesome, but also has Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Mario and Sonic would be the only game I would really consider buying so Wii has my vote. But for a real simulation style sports fan, pick your poison, PS3 of 360. It doesn't really matter.
