ok people it's an opinion piece by the writer.. he's not a 'reporter' he's not 'reporting' anything, he's arguing a point based on what he sees as important observations and facts.

of course it will differ with everyone else's.

Uh, no, if I'm getting what he said correctly, he's saying that Xbox live is better because it took the original TMNT and then gave it online coop play.

Quite frankly I agree with him on this point. I don't believe it was enough to win 07, but if this trend continues, it could tip teh scales in later years. Nintendo has been severely lacking in updating older titles, there are a number of titles that could have benefited greatly from either allowing optional use of the wii remote for new styles of control, like Mario Kart 64 using the Wiimote as a steering wheel, and Zelda: OoT being updated to use the Wiimote similar to how Twilight Princess uses it. ANY multiplayer game shoudl be updated to allow you to coop with a friend online.

I approve of Microsoft doing this, and I really am dissapointed that nintendo hasn't already implemented this. 

Wii won and and the PS3 and 360 lost, the 360 more so. The Wii managed to sell more in half the time than the 360 with two competing consoles. The 360 being the POS it is had a year with no competition and only managed to sell a little more than the PS3 which only had a few if any good games and two competitors.

Well, great that guy enjoys his 360 so much but in addition to agreeing with Happy Squirrel's points I would just add an example of how that list isn't everything for every gamer (in this case this particular Wii/PC gamer):

Bioshock - on PC, played it, meh
Mass Effect - Probably be on the PC soon, but I'll give him this one
Assassin's Creed - meh
Crackdown - you mean the Halo 3 beta? meh to both
Guitar Hero II & III - same game, III is on the Wii, oh and meh
The Orange Box - on PC, looks interesting, don't have time
Halo 3 - probably be on PC soon, played it though I'll stick with CoD4 thank you
Forza 2 - meh
Skate - meh
Rock Band - meh
COD4 - on PC and is amazing, would never diminish it with dual analog though

It could be argued that it wasn't just his opinion but was objective, that is that the 360 had the best lineup for most gamers. However, I doubt that is even true. The only way we can tell what most "gamers" like is by sales and given the amount of software the DS moves I would say it had the most popular lineup. Anyways, this guy either just wrote a story about best games that was his opinion writ large or he wrote it as a hardcore gamer with the typical harcore gamer attitude that only their opinions matter in the video game world. 

I agree that Sony is not in any better shape.  Just don't underestimate the 360 hardware problems.  Its what's kept me from getting one.  Until I'm sure the issue is resolved (with new chipset or a changed design), I'm not going to touch it.  Hopefully M$ learned its lesson this time and doesn't make the same mistake again.

@greyacumen

the legendary titles that nintendo has released needs to stay the way they are now!! it's already in history! even nintendo said it. they don't want to formula of these original games that came out on snes, nes, and n64!

 He called it winning 2007 so yes it is about marketshare, sales and business. If he had called it "Calling it: 360 was the best console of 2007" I would totally agree with him as Kotaku is a hardcore site and 360 was the best console for hardcore gamers last year (Wii was for lapsed/casual/new gamers but they don't go and read Kotaku so it wouldn't matter).

You can't go and declare something and then to justify it apply the definition for something else. There is a serious problem between the title and the article as the article doesn't support the premise of the title and the title is wrong on the face of it (how is selling more than twice as many hardware units as your main competition losing the year to them?).

One could argue that the 360 won because it sold more software but given that it only did so because of the small install base of the Wii at the beginning of the year and that the Wii software sales momentum has clearly overtaken that of the 360 (Worldwide, not quite yet in NA) unlike the PS3 that barely exceeded 360 hardware in the last few months and who might not once the holiday sales effect wear off (or might but the point is it is not clear) it is a tie at best as even if 360 sold more this year it clearly lost its dominance of the worldwide software market.

BTW, Happy newyear everyone and sorry for any mistakes/spelling... I didn't catch. 

Just ignore ssj12.  He may be a mod, but he's just a blind P$3 fanboy with absolutely no grasp of the facts.
