In topics like these whichever fans visits your post most is the way the vote talley will sway.. IE.. visited by mostly Wii fans.. Xbox 360.. or PS3 ..

What i find hilarious is Sony is voted best, yet if they are the best how come they are last place in game sales ?  their console has been nearly the same price as 360 for over a year and they even have a bluray player.. their games don't cost any significant amount more then 360's or Wii's do they ?  My objective question if Sony games are so good how come people arent flocking to buy them when price isnt a issue..  I think this just goes back to what I said above.. if you have a poll on welfare and more democrats visit you're poll you're gonna get a one sided story on welfare.. but the real story is where people put their wallets and cash.. and thats more true with the PS3 and Xb 360 because they sell many of the best selling multi-platform games..

You do realize this poll is about first party studios, and it isn't about sales.  So I'm not sure why you are bringing up overall software sales.  Even then, looking at Microsoft published games, they no longer have (or never had) Bungie, Ensemble, Bizarre Creations, Epic, Realtime Worlds, Team Ninja, Mistwalker, Remedy, Silicon Knights, iNiS, Screenlife, Zoe Mode, Triumph, Q Entertainment, From Software, Artoon, Blitz Games, also a Gearbox, Eden, and Rockstar games are listed for them as well (I guess they published them in one region).

So that brings the ~73m Microsoft published games down to ~16.2 million from current Microsoft Games Studios.

Now obviously stuff like Halo from 343 will still sell pretty well, but their first party is pretty much down to Lionhead, Rare, and Turn 10 these days.  It's hardly controversial to say that both Sony and Nintendo have better groups of first party studios.  Of course opinions can differ, maybe Fable is your favorite series ever, but even then you can't really be surprised that most people prefer Sony or Nintendo.

Also based on your line of thinking, would you agree that Wii Fit is by far the best game released this generation?  It has almost certainly brought in more revenue than any other console or handheld game.

LOL!! awsome post.

He's just mad little MS barely has any firstparty studio, so he runs behinde sales to sway your attention away from that fact.

Well I think it really illustrates the point of how niche and out of tune this community is compared to the entire gaming populace.  If this were a census vote from all the install bases, you'll find there'd be more Wii Fit fans than God of War fans.

which is actually funny because I would bet that 90% of people who own wii fit would not call themselves fans of the game.
