PS3 - B

South Park: Stick of Truth, Grid Autosport, Lightning Returns, Tales of Xillia 2 and Walking Dead Season 2.  That would not be worthy of a B normally, but given that the PS3 is no longer the console maker's main console, I think it has been a pretty good lineup

Vita - B

Daganronpa is fantastic and one of my favorite games in recent years.  I'm counting Danganronpa 2 in my evaluation despite not playing it yet because there is no way I won't enjoy that too. I have enjoyed PS Plus games this year and I am looking forard to playing Tales of Hearts R.  I have lower expectations for handhelds in terms of the amount of games I play each year on them, so Vita gets a B.

PS4 - D (Potential B)

I am quite far behind on PS4 games right now, so I have given it a current score and a potential one.  I got it in August with LoUR and inFamous.  Last of Us is fantastic, but was dulled slightly by the fact I had already played it on PS3.  inFamous was pretty good, I'd give it a 7/10.  Enjoyable and graphically the most impressive game I have played this year, but slightly shallow gameplay wise.  Aside from that, I have played download games, but they have all been good. Child of Light, Valiant Hearts, Transistor, Outlast and PvZ: Garden Warfare I have all enjoyed, especially the latter, really fantastic multiplayer game.  I also borrowed Destiny from a friend, which was a decent game, but the great gunplay couldn't quite save it from the other problems I had with it.  

So if it was that alone, I would say it wasn't a good year for my PS4, but I am far behind like I said earlier.  If I enjoy Alien Isolation, The Evil Within, Driveclub, LittleBigPlanet 3, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age Inquisition, Shadow of Mordor and Diablo 3 as much as I expect to, I would gove the PS4 a B, and consider it a pretty good lineup of games for a first year console.

3DS - E (Potential C)

It gets an E right now, because the only game I have played that came out this year is Theartrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. I picked the game up on a whim and really enjoyed it, put over 30 hours into in the end.  It gets a potential C, for Kirby Triple Deluxe, Fantasy Life, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire and the Professor Layton trilogy which I hope is still coming this year?

Wii U - D (Potential C)

Mario Kart 8 was good as expected, and I got the Bayonetta special edition, and have played through the first game, which was as good as I remember it.  I am still yet to play Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriros or DK: Tropical Freeze, which is why it has a potential of C.  There have been far too many droughts and just not enough big releases, once again, to warrant any higher than a C even if I really enjoy the games I have yet to start
