Shouldn't success be measured by the games?

Boy everyone is really rambling today...

This is a no win thread... I am with Legend that games are the most important part of a console.

And it is clear that when you go to metacritic and gamerankings 360 is ahead in all categories except in "Mario" games. Sports games have rated high on 360, RPGs rated high on 360, JRPGS really only exist right now for 360, FPS rate highest on 360, 360 is the only one with RTS games, etc.

If you choose to use Gamerankings as your medium, PC wins nearly every genre. However, if you want to stick to home consoles, the highest rated games in these genres disagree with you:

Platforming: Highest rated game, Super Mario Galaxy, winner: Wii

Adventure: Highest rated game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, winner: Wii

Puzzle: Highest rated game, Zack & Wiki, winner: Wii

Sports: Highest rated game, NHL 08, winner: PS3 (the second place is MLB Power Pros. on Wii, so you lose either way).

Nothing wins all genres. Hey, you've got FPSes and WRPGs right?

I stated "high" ratings...  Not the "highest" except for FPS.  Count the number of games above 80% for each console.  360 easily wins...  Mostly because it was out a year earlier but also because of Live, Achievements, etc. which making the gaming experience more gamer centric on the 360.  Sony is trying to sell everyone a Blu-Ray player, Nintendo is trying to focus on the motion controller...  360 is almost all about the games with movies and sound secondary.

Your right that PC is on top, but it has been out for years, and almost all vendors make almost every game on the PC as well.
