The Wii has the most diverse quality titles. Super Mario Galaxy and No More Heroes are on the same system. Enough said.

Not really. Ratchet & Clank and Grand Theft Auto 4 for the PS3, or Kameo and Saints Row for the 360 (not counting GTA4). Then again, you might consider No More Heroes not to be Sandbox, in which case it might fall into one of those non-descript genres that the PS3 and 360 have tons of anyways.

Kowenicki and Bobo: Stop fighting or you're both going to be in trouble.

Godfather is on the PS3 and 360 as well. As for Scarface, it can be played on the PS2, Xbox, or PS3 with backwards compatibility. And neither games got scores as high as Saints Row or the main GTA games.

yeah you as a 100% 360 fanboy always know better. yeah 360 is better in everything except any game that isn't tps, fps, racer, wester rpg.

so Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, Eye of Judgment, LocoRoco Cocoreccho!, PAIN for ps3 and Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, Kameo: Elements of Power, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Culdcept Saga, Ridge Racer 6, Beautiful Katamari for 360 and multiplatform games with average score of 70-80/100 cannot be considered as a quality titles as well. so then 360 have only fpp and tpp shooters, few racers and sport games plus 1-2 fighting, strategy, wester rpg and guitar hero kind of games.

Blahblah. Does it make me a fanboy if I state a fact? :) My point was that if you consider a score as low as 70 to be quality, 360 kicks wii's ass 210-70 or something like that. 360 is better on everything, except platformers which can stay on wii for good. They are not for 360 owners. :)

Well you can choose any score and 360 will still win.

That is actually quite funny, there are about 90 games on 360 which score 80 or more on metacritic. I think that there are a bit more genres there than those "shooters,racers,sports,fighting,strategy,wrpg and rhythm games". But of course,you can't be bothered to take a look. You just go on with your fanboy rants. I understand that it is much easier to check wii games (20 or something) than 360..

Multi-Platform says "hi". 

If you're going to name games, make sure they're not multi-plat.  It makes you look silly, and only strengthens the argument that the Wii doesn't have the most diverse line-up.

Honestly, they're all lacking diversity in the quality titles they provide ...

I would say that the Wii has a slight edge in diversity at the expense of depth in a lot of genres; this is mainly caused by the diversity that Nintendo brings to the library alone ... Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Strikers Charged, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, and Mario Kart are all games which are all very good games in different genres.

Basically, if you eliminate Shooters, Sports games and racing games the HD console's line-up becomes pretty sparse; in contrast you can't really decimate the Wii's line-up with the removal of a couple of genres, but they probably only have a couple of good games in each genre.

That's a shame. There's the two Jump! Super Stars titles, Bleach and Mortal Kombat. I'm not a fan of fighting games but as far as fighting games go those ones are just fine.



I Blame Wii Fit!

Am Gonna say

DS > PS3 > Wii > PSP > 360

360 may have the most for home consoles, but most of it in generall looks really similar. Heck thier western rpg exclusives look like thier shooters!

Well, I did that. Picked up 80+ games on metacritic and removed shooters,sports games and racing games. (Can't be sure about all of them, but this should be close enough to prove a point):

Do the same for the wii and remove platformers, adventure games and shooters. Which one had the sparse lineup again? :)
