    • Wii Sports     It was fun when it launched
    So that's the launch line ups for the three current generation consoles.

    The 360 is at a disadvantage because it released a year earlier, but it still had Condemned, Kameo, Perfect Dark: Zero, PGR3 and Amperd 3, which are all good games and it's fair to point out that development on the 360 went wild not long after.


    PS3 fans are lucky that they got a lot of 360 ports right off the bat like Oblivion, F.E.A.R., Rainbow Six Vegas and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Sony also brought a few of their first-party games to the table with Resistance, Motorstorm, Untold Legends and Genji: Days of the Blade. It also helped that the two best launch games had been heavily bundled with the console (Resistance and Motorstorm).


    The Wii had a mixed launch, when I looked at the list, I was surprised by the amount of movie shovelware games. I'd also argue that the Wii had a really good launch with titles  such as Red Steel, Wii Sports, Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers, Trauma Center, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime: Corruption and Dragon Quest.


    So, in my opinion the Wii comes first, the PS3 comes second and the 360 comes last. Though a year after their launches, I'd probably put it as the 360/PS3/Wii only because Gears and a heap of third party titles  released for the 360, the PS3 got Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and  Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, while I only remember playing Mario Galaxy and kinda playing Brawl for the Wii and not getting into them.
    Who do you think had the best launch line-ups? Throw in a few more console launch battles if you want.


    Note: The launch lists came from three different sites, so forgive me if something's wrong.



    Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

    some of the games you mentioned were not launch games:  For example MP3 was launched in October 2007 I think, FF Crystal Bearers was earlier this year and Excitetruck was February 2007 I'm sure.

    I'm going by European release dates btw.

    Yeah, I thought some of them may be messed up. I took the lists from other sites, the Wii one was actually from a press release on a Nintendo fan site, so I'm not sure if it's Japan, US or European dates.

    I don't think anyone will deny the 360 had a weak launch. A few good games though.

    PS3 looks better, but many of those games were multiplat.

    Wii was abysmal in my opinion.
