plz get the hell out of my thread if your going to talk trash! your 360 didn't win. boo-hoo! your mad! tell your mom!!

It has nothing to do with the 360 and everything to do with making a thread about something everyone knows the outcome to anyways.  I mean seriously what's the point?

Anyways it actually give me an idea of a real contest that will decide the real winner of 2008 and one in which we don't actually know who the winner will be.  See to me and hopefully all gamers it's the games that matter not how many people happen to buy the system they currently own. 

So here's how the monthly contest will run:

-The console with the highest rated game for the month will get a point for that month.
-If two different games tie then the console(s) that have at least one of the games gets a point
-If the game is multiplatform all systems that the game appears on gets a point as long as the score difference between versions isn't greater than 2.  Any version that scores more than 2 points less than the top scoring version doesn't get a point.

The game scores will be taken from Game Rankings.

(I'll make a new thread for the contest)

Wii may end up with 12 points at this rate.

That would be awesome.

 i like that but how about in addition he add some points for hardware sales like 3 pts for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for third or 2 for 1st and 1 for 2nd and 0 for 3rd??



@legend11
your thread would be dumb!!! (considering that most gaming sites on the internet wipes 360's ass when it comes 2 scores compared to the wii or ps3!)



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

Its obviously going to be the Wii that wins. There might be a few points going to the 360 or ps3 but overall the Wii will win if it sells at the rate its selling now.

Untill ps3 priceut, it`s pretty pointless thread. =)
Wii is the cheapest console.
CHEAP things usually sell better.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

This is kinda pointless. We all know Wii will sell the most hardware, PS3 will sell the most software worldwide. If you are looking at it in just hardware sales the Wii will win because its the cheapest and has a huge casual market. If you look at it with best games and most 3rd party software sold across the world, PS3 takes it.

 This is VGCHARTS, not VGREVIEWS. 

 



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Wait a second, then shouldn't the Gamecube have won last gen? I mean it was cheap and had a decent number of blockbusters.

 Edit: @the software person.

Third party PS3 million sellers:

Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareActivision0.081.051.062.19
Assassins CreedUbisoft0.000.871.182.05
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008Konami0.280.000.951.23
FIFA 08EA Sports0.000.180.901.08

 Total: 4.55M

Third party Wii million sellers:

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic GamesSega0.491.091.412.99
Guitar Hero III: Legends of RockRedOctane0.001.370.181.55
Resident Evil 4: Wii EditionCapcom0.140.730.581.45
Rayman Raving RabbidsUbisoft0.020.750.481.25
Red SteelUbisoft0.040.460.541.04

  Total: 8.28M

 

Why do you think the PS3 is so certain to dominate in third party? I mean it has one big heavy hitter coming out this year as far as third party goes (MGS4) but that isn't enough to guarantee it a win for sure. 



@crazzyman

ps2 was the cheapest console when it came out! it was only 50 dollars more than the wii!

you know what, why are you in my thread! all your going to do is try to spread some shit about ps3 winning and diss wii and 360! plz leave or people will flame you!
