2009 will be a very interesting year. Hopefully there will be no delays. As far as I'm concerned the more great games are on the market the better.

If we're going for the "masses" then the Wii won 2006, 2007, 2008, will win 2009, 2010, 2011 and probably 2012.

Could anyone be more deluded than you?

1) Digital Distribution is not the cause of Piracy, nor has it helped the growth of it. Almost all the cracked games are directly from DVDs.

2) PC is by far the platform with the highest selling software. In 2007, PC sold as many games as the average console in the US on retail, a console-centric country. And that is not even talking about the games sold through Digital Distribution, nor the $1 billion made from subscriptions on PC in the US only. Trust me, no doubt that PC is selling more games than Wii and Xbox 360 combined. I mean, if Xbox 360 or Wii can't sell more games than PC in the US, then imagine how much PC is crushing them in Europe and Continental Asia. And ofcourse, this is not even touching the fact that there's an insane amount of revenue from subscriptions, microtransactions and whatnot.

3) The most popular platform will always have it's share of low-budget and shovelware games, especially if it's an open platform that has the lowest development costs. The great thing is that due to that, all the indie and small developers will flock on PC and make some amazing games. You see, since the development costs on consoles are so huge, small developers just stop supporting consoles in favour of PC. Some of them end up amazing games like Mount & Blade, Aquaria and, best of all, 2008 GOTY award-winning Sins of a Solar Empire (a budget less than $1 million).

It's consoles loss if they aren't viable for the large majority of small and indie developers.

4) LOL, you really think COD4 sold more on a console than PC?? Dude, COD4 has been in the top 5 best selling PC games every month, since it's release. Imo it has probably reach 10 millions sold on PC by now. COD4 is STILL selling full priced on PC, one freaking year after it's release, and is still in the top10 of D2D and Steam.

Dude, just look at PC's lineup on gamerankings (which doesn't even have all PC games listed), and the insanse amount of high-quality of almost any genre, like RPGs, on PC.

^- Wow, its very rare i see PC fanboys in action... o.O

"And the winner is.... "Playstation 3"!

The tides have truly turned in 2008. Developers finally up to speed with the Playstation hardware, so multi-platfrom games are on equal footing.

Then you have to look at the exclusives for each platform. When stacking up the PS3 holding releases against those of the 360, there's really no contest in quality and quantity"

Wow, that sounded better than I expected from Gametrailers.

I think 2009 will be even better for PS3 gamers!

The first is from.. 97 ? and it still sells... And at a rather decent price.

Same with Warcraft 2, 3, Diablo 1 and 2. Coincidentially games from blizzard do rather well. :p

The game is also playable today.. I never got the expansion finished though... However, i can't wait for Diablo 3. That one is the one i'm waiting for :D (I'd also like a warcraft 4. I can't stand world of warcraft.)

Maybe this is just because I didn't play StarCraft before 2008, but I didn't really think it was that good. I've never played a game more then WarCraft III though, if StarCraft 2 is as good/better then WC3 was I'll defintely have a lot of fun with the game.

Well deserved PS3!

Well, the Wii had a lame year and I think the 360 only had 2 real must have exclusives for the whole of 2008. So the PS3 definately wins 2008.

i dont think a 3rd place console has ever been this succesful in terms of critical acclaim.

Justice is done. MGS4, LBP, R2, GT5 prologue....was it really a competition?
