Sony have definitely pleased me the most this gen, we have sex at least three times a week, it's great.


It seems you used the move.

Nope, Dualshock 3.

...Don't ask.


Well, it does vibrate.

The only measure I use to give a score it's how much time I've used their systems.
Nintendo: 8.5/10
While they always have their issues with outdated online, the lack of 3rd party support and Metroid Other M, the DS and Wii are the consoles I used and enjoyed the most by a large mile. I had great time with both new and old games, thanks to retro-compatibility and virtual console. I had lots of multiplayer fun.
Sony: 6/10
Ps2 was my favourite console last gen, this time due to the focus, of many 3rd party developers and Sony itself, to produce cinematic gimmicks instead of games I found the Ps3 much less appealing.
I used my ps3 a lot to play movies and music, something I could have done with a common media player. Not to mention my ps3 broke down 3 times (first 2 times before warranty expired). A month ago, I was lucky and managed to gat a new one for free.
They deserve a +1 score because they have co-published Demon's Souls, then they deserve a -1 score because of cell and their rush to publish unfinshed games being key factors to how Liar and Haze turned out, causing Factor5 and FreeRadical to fail.
Microsoft 4/10
They have made an huge improvement from the last generation in terms of games, still I don't want to pay to play online. Also I'd like a console to last at least a couple of years before it gets burned. I don't like Halo but they have made a good job with Forza Motorsport.



I went with they all had their ups and and downs. Wii and the Xbox 360 were the best consoles at the beginning of this gen and Sony was horrible. Now the roles have switched, so I would say they all have been pretty even this gen.



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.

Hmm... weird...

I expected far more Sony support in the poll. Everyone feel free to draw your conclusions...

I suppose my Nintendo fanboyism is getting to me ;p

Also what did you think of the recent reviews (the actual posts I mean).

Well, there's been a few very good posts on here (your included), but mostly there are just short responses. Or just completely off-topic. ('Cuz these are the reviews you're talking about, right?)



I won't assign a number. I'll just say:

360: Easily my most played console this gen. Got it in 2007 and I'm probably getting close to 200 games on it if you count XBL titles. An amazing console by a company I had no faith in whatsoever.   If I could only own one console this gen, the 360 would be it.

Wii: (purchased in 2007) So many unique experiences and so much fun. No other console has given me as many face to face fun social experiences as the Wii. I was born and bred playing side by side with other gamers. I'm afraid that those days may be done with online taking over like it has. I'm glad the Wii gave me so many good memories. I'll cherish them forever.

PS3: (Purchased in 2008) I probably spent more time with my jaw dropped in awe with the PS3 more than any of the other two. When the PS3 was at its best (Heavy Rain, God of War), nothing else mattered. A lot of games that I simply could not play anywhere else makes the PS3 a winner in my book.

Kudos to the "Big 3". My expectations were blown away time and again, this gen. To think, at the end of the sixth gen, I planned on giving up gaming. Now, I'm a bigger gamer than ever.

Wish people would go in detail about every aspect ;p, would like to see how people rate the xbox360.

Agreed. I guess people are just lazy :/
