I think the most over rated thing this gen is the Wii. It's horribly inaccurate (I know this because when I play things on the Wii that I am good at in real life it never works or reads move the way it's suppose to).

Xbox Live is pretty high up there too. Everyone told me PSN is laggy and sucks compared to Xbox Live. Well I have both consoles and I would have to say PSN has no lag and is better then Xbox Live because it's free.

As for the PS3, the graphics seem to be over rated. But I can't be 100% sure because I don't own any graphic power house PS3 exclusives.  But when I compare PS3 graphics to Xbox 360 graphics for the same game, they are pretty much the same. I don't think developers waste their time trying to make one consoles graphics better then another’s if the option is available because it's a waste of time and money. So the only thing you can really look at is powerhouse graphic exclusives.



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

jrpgs. and platformers.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

I picked Wii and Halo. Halo is a great game but how the hell did ODST get 9/10 and a metacritic score of 89%! For Wii, well that console just sucks balls.



I voted other, because I bought the HD-DVD drive add-on. Big mistake. Now I have to hang on to it to still be able to watch my grand collection of 8 hd-dvds.

After that I would say xbox live or more so having voice chat standard ugh. I cancelled live after a year since the community was not fun to play with. Maybe matchmaking decided I would only like to play with 'opinionated' 12 to 14 year olds. No thanks.

Probably COD and GTAIV. They're average at best, why do they sell 10million copies AND also some of the highest rated games of all time? How? They don't deserve to be up there with Zelda and Mario Galaxy, no way

Yes, they do. That's my opinion anyway :P and you can keep yours.

There way above Mario Galaxy and Zelda in sales. But around the same metacritic. 



dlc



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

1. Xbox live for me..... Yea its great, its better than sony no doubt, but it isnt worth the 60 bucks extra for it

2. Wii- it was good for the first month i had it, but enough is enough with the crappiest games.... and the graphics on some of the games makes the super nintendo look new.... 

3. metal gear solid 4..... yess ive played it, tried to play it again.... i just dont like it.... cant believe its sold soo much....



The most overrated part about this Gen for me is use of metacritic scores by Fanboys with all the AAA, AA and single A BS.



Japanese Pop Culture Otaku

Halo and the xbox live very over rated and kinect aswell.
