My list of highly rated games fromlast gen includes 360/PC games, I didn't discriminate. I even counted Kinect games. No Man's Sky is releasing retail is it not? I'm only counting games available at retail. Indie games do mean something, but I can't give as much hype for Resogun as I can for Uncharted.

As for the Metacritic list, I wanted to cut it off at 90+, but there wasn't a huge difference so I went down to 80. 80+ is highly rated, below that would be a B which is just above average. As for your examples, those are terrible Gears Judgement made me, a hardcore Gears fan, give up on the franchise. Heavenly Sword is a 5 hour game and Blue Dragon is meh. Wii Fit on the other hand is actually pretty fun, have you ever played it? It sold 20 million plus, I don't think it's a bad game.

Tales of Xillia and Vesperia deserve credit, Japanese RPG's often get lower metascores then they should, but the fact that they don't make the cut off would put XB360 is a worse position. Tales of Vesperia didn't make the cut, but neither did Fire Emblem, or Pandora's Tower for the Wii.

As for that link, so much wrong with what you said.

a) That list is not a list of every game announced at E3, it's a list of games total. I said at E3, Nintendo announced the most, meaning that they are taking on more and more new projects. Sony and XB announced about 16 retail games each, where Nintendo announced closer to 30.

b) That list includes a lot of hypothetical games. You can't count an "annanounced IP" or "Hiring AAA Devs with at Least 8  years of Experience" or "Retro Studio's next game" because you don't know if it's going to happen and when. I mean Black Tusk was suppost to make a new Halo-level IP and scrapped it for Gears.

c) Even if you take that list, scrap out games which haven't officially been announced, you will see WiiU still has the most coming.

XB1 - 11
PS4 - 13 (+2 Vita)
WiiU - 11 (+4 3DS).... and WOW they are missing a lot of WiiU games. Here's a list

Sonic Boom
Kirby
Project Guard
Project Giant Robot
Yoshi
Devil's Third
Fatal Frame V
Dragon Quest X (been talk about localization for WiiU with DLC)

Nintendo announced more games, I'd have to look some up, but for now I showed that WiiU is at 18 overall, which is about 1.5 times as much as PS4/XB1. See how WiiU is on top? Just like the Wii was?

I'm not gonna answer your whole post, but you have most definitely not said announced at E3, you said announced. Also at what E3 has Nintendo announced 30 retail Wii U games? And 16 from MS and Sony each? What are you talking about?

And how on earth do you get only 13 PS4 titles from that list?

No word about a No Man's Sky retail release.

Bold: You're right, my bad. I still have E3 in my head. I remember after E3 I counted all the retail games, but I'd have to look back at an old post to find it. Nintendo announced a lot of retail games which don't get much press. e.g. Prof Layton vs. Phoenix Wright was announced for localization at E3, it's not on that list. It releases in a week. Art Acadamy is a retail game which was announced too.

As for 13 PS4 games, I didn't include digital games.

Bloodborne
Deep Down
DriveClub
Everyone's Gone to Rapture
LBP3
MLB: The Show
Ratchet & Clank
Singstar
The Order: 1886
The Last Guardian
Uncharted 5
Until Dawn

now I only have 12....hm...I think I counted InFamous DLC by mistake earlier.

The answer to this thread however has been "It depends on your interests." WiiU is not going to appeal much to people who don't like Platformers/JRPG's/Miscellaneous, PS4 won't appeal much to people who don't like Action/Adventure games, and XB1 won't appeal much to people who don't like Shooters.

Personally I think because Nintendo's exclusives are so different from the exclusives that XB1/PS4 offer, along with the 3rd party games, and because Nintendo will have the most exclusives, WiiU is the best bet. However not everyone like Zelda, Starfox or XenoBlade, maybe that PS4 owner just wants some Halo and maybe that 360 owner wants some Gran Turismo.

To each their own, but Nintendo does offer the most in terms of quality and quantity for exclusives.

Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is a 3DS game, how is that relevant in this case? And this article says that Art Academy is eshop only, but I personally don't mind counting digital only titles as they can as I've said before be as or more worthwile than retail games, which brings me to your list.

I don't know how you did it but you missed:

Tearaway Unfolded

Planetside 2 (again don't care if it's PS4/PC)

Gran Turismo 7

Tomorrow Children

Rime

Alienation

Wild

Shadow of the Beast

and not on the list but for now only confirmed for PS4 and later PC: No Mans Sky

So yeah ;)
