My first post was a doozy. I joined to discuss the Fall lineup of each console by genre and see what was preferred. It was surprisingly well received. Man I should really do this again for this year. I started with Racing, so that's the one I'll reprint here.
I'm basing my info on the IGN release dates as they stand from yesturday, 9/3. Things can change; I know. My differentiation between genres may not suit your style perfectly; so fine. I will not be including Playstation 2 because it's last gen, so too bad. Do the work yourself if it's that critical.
Now that all of that is out of the way, here's the point. It's hard to say which system is always the best, because sales do not necessarily entail quality, and gems can pop up on even the most awful of consoles. I'm gonna go genre by genre and show the fall lineup. You guys then discuss who rules in that area. If the release dates get updated by new games added or pushed into next fall, we can reconvene and decide again what that means for each console. I have taken a few liberties by not adding any games specifically for children, such as Spongebob and Ben 10, and will not include any games that have to do with hunting because I figure no one wants to argue over that anyways. If I'm offending any hunting game fans, too bad. Spend your money more wisely in the future. So without further ado...
In my opinion, Wii is in a league of it's own. You either want arcade style racing really bad or you don't. It has no competition. If you're a fan of more serious racing games however, it's kind of up in the air whether PS3 or 360 is right for you. I think 360 edges out because of PGR4, which has a good chance of being well received. If however you like Off-Road racing, PS3 has DiRT which was absent from the 360 lineup, so PS3 would be your obvious choice.
