See the only problem that some people are having with this generation is that the titles are all split amongst three separate consoles.

There is some excellent titles on the 360 and some excellent titles on the PS3 and some excellent titles on the Wii. In past generations, there was maybe a handful of good games on one system and a whole plethora of good games on the other.

So the choice was simple. Casual, Hardcore, Racing, RPG, FPS, TPS, Platformer, Action Advtenture,etc were all on one system. (PS1/PS2 come to mind) with maybe a few scattered games across the different consoles.



Nowadays, each console has it's strengths and weaknesses more than ever before. (Specifically in regards to it's library of games)

The Xbox 360 has a lot of FPS, TPS, RPG , Hardcore games but it kind of lacks in the casual, platforming, adventure games.

The PS3 is similar to the 360 but it has some more casual games (Flow, Flower to name a few) and has more action adventure and platform titles.

The Wii is somewhat unique, Although many would say it lacks the traditional 'hardcore' games. It has the standard Nintendo games and tons of Casual types of games. It lacks in FPS,TPS games primarily.



Each console has must own games. (360 - Halo 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Braid, Castle Crashers, etc)(PS3 - Little Big Planet, Uncharted,Metal Gear 4, Resistance, Kill Zone 2, Flower, etc) ( Wii - Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Metroid, Wii Sports, etc). And many of these must own games are all drastically different and unique.

This is very un-settling for many people. This is why the fanboy wars rage on day after day. What people don't realize is that the fact that the fanboy war is raging on so hardcore. Just shows how comparable and similar (In terms of fun) all three systems are. In years past, a vast majority of people were like well if you want to play the best games go own a PS2. Nowadays, it's like if you want go play the best games? Go own a PS3/360/Wii/PC. Just a tough pill to swallow for people who can't or don't own them all.
