Actually I own a 360, a Wii, and a DS, and I owned a PS3 in the past, but it broke outside of warrenty. I don't have an outsider view.

Also most quality titles on PS3? Where were you before 2009? Sure now PS3 had a better 2009 and 2011, but what did they release in 2010, a single game (GT5)? You can't just look at the most recent year and forget about all the others. Quality wise Nintendo is the best, MS is #2, Sony is last, but they are catching up where Wii is nearly done, and 360's focus has shifted to Kinect.

I disagree with you. As a gaming device I still think the 360 is supperior to PS3. If you just want to play games, 360 is cheaper, and has more exclusives, of better quality.PS3 however is a multi-purpose device, and is more reliable.

Not sure if I can agree about Sony being the most stable at E3, what has PSP gotten in the last few years? PS3 early life was composed of announced titles which took 4 years or more to release, some of the gmaes (mainly third party) have yet to be released.

As for Nintendo, I think you are way off. Out of all the consoles this gen, Nintendo has the most wanted exclusives. It don't think all 30 million Mario Kart sales are due to casual gamers, and games like Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda, and Smash Bros consistantly outsell almost any 360/PS3 title excluding Halo. They definatly do release the most shovelware, but who cares. They still produce a strong amount of AAA quality titles, most of which are above the HD exclusive standard (only exclusive above Zelda last year was Uncharted, and I think XenoBlade/The Last Story will rank super high as well).

Just passing through and I saw the discussion.   Just adding to what you already said--The Wii is the home to the most shovelware but Nintendo themselves have releases megahit after megahit.  They really give Wii owners a reason to own the console.  I could have nothing but a library of Nintendo's releases and I'd be happy with my Wii.  I would put the games released this gen by Nintendo up against anything released by Sony and Microsoft.  The PS3 and Xbox are the home of the third party quality games.  When it comes to first party, Nintendo stands alone on the mountain top.


Outside of Mario, Super Smash Bros and the Zelda franchise Nintendo has nothing on Sony or Microsoft. Its the same stuff with new gameplay, unless its being made for casuals. Nintendos best new IP's are third party titles which arent associated with them this gen. Nintendo needs to learn to trust key third party because they've been helping during tough times for actual gamers. Nintendo has had more gaming droughts out of any of the consoles and Microsoft takes second place this gen for sure. This was yet another thing they were speaking about on Bonus Round.  Microsoft thought they could hang with Sony when it came to actual game production. Microsoft relies on third parties for everything of pure importance. Sony does not rely on third parties. Sony has always had the third parties because they were the ones to round them up  and show they gave a damn when Nintendo and Sega were ignoring them. They knew library was key to success before they even entered the gaming industry and hit the ground running their first gen.
