Lol stupid argument really, the freakin Dreamcast was better than gamecube. The only games on gamecube I wanted at one point were viewtiful joe (came to ps2 anyways), and the original concept for Zelda, but then they released the piece of s.......t windwaker (yes i tried it and couldn't stand it). I rather go back to LTTP than the abomination that was windwaker. The raw power was there but execution mediocre at best. MGS twin snakes had potential but too dumbed down and easy compared to psx MGS, so in terms of the meat of the title (gameplay) MGS PSX>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>gamecube twin snakes. RE 1 remake was interesting at best but dunno, the original had its charm and difficulty that I loved. Bad controller aside, the gamecube had immense potential but wasn't capitalized on (where's a mainline 2D mario?!?!). I'll take a quality title like Nier (multiplat) over windwaker anyday if you wanna bring up quality. GOW, Uncharted, Infamous, Heavy Rain, KZ series, LBP, GT5, anyday over anything the cube had to offer, outside of the system hardware which isn't worth mentioning in this discussion. So anytime you bring up quality over quantity in this specific case you have a losing argument. One can only play windwaker, RE remake, MG twin snakes, for so long before you need a break from mediocrity. This gen has been bashed for no good reason when in fact across ALL systems we've had nothing but quality games: Exclusive to consoles
XBOX 360: Gears of War series, Alan Wake, Forza series, Halo series, The Last Remnant, Splinter Cell, Crackdown series, Fable series, etc.
PS3: Uncharted series, Resistance series, LBP, 3DDGH, Heavy Rain, MGS4, KZ series, Infamous series, Ratchet and Clank series, GT5, GoW series, Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles (wow what's this? great games covering just about EVERY genre?!?), among several others that escape my head atm.
Wii: Muramasa Demon's Blade, Fire Emblem, The Last Story, Xenoblade, NSMBW, Zelda Skyward Sword, Wii Sports, among others.
Then we have constant multiplat games such as : Dead Space series, FIFA series (keeps gettin better), COD series (not a fan but have to recognize quality), Darksiders, Mass Effect series, Nier, Portal 2, BF BC and BF3, Tales games, RDR, GTA4, LA Noire, Trine series, Limbo, etc, etc ,etc.
My point is that aside from quality, the quantity is definitely there on EVERY console and in most cases far superior, but some people's goggles and nostalgia blind them from what's right the f.....k in front of them. You can name me ANY game from previous gen on ANY console and I will find a game on current gen on console, handheld or even freakin phone that matches and/or surpasses ANY game from prior gen. Now if we brought in N64, PS1 into the mix it would be harder (golden age of rpg's). Although in the end it's a matter of taste, your argument of windwaker shows blatant fanb....... extremism as opposed to coming closer to an objective argument. I would much rather have a Wii than a Gamecube anyday, and a PS3 over both because obviously it has the games targeted to my demographic which is very diverse in choosing. I'll rpg it up one week, another for shooters, another for stealth, action adventure, etc. Plus I demand quality and that's something the "losing consoles" such as the 360 and PS3 have been pumping out (hence the goty's from most sites and population).
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
