Forums - Gaming - Which current-gen console has the best games?

This is pretty simple.

I'm not making this into a poll because I don't want to give people the impression that this is actually deciding anything: this is just a topic where we can all sit down and hammer out our opinions. Yes, you are encouraged to argue the point, but do not flame.

Here are some guidelines:

1. Multiplats count for every system they're on. Assassin's Creed would count for both 360 and PS3, for example.

2. This only counts games that are inherent to the system. Basically this means we're not counting backwards compatibility libraries, but we are counting games that can be bought on the system itself - so the 360 would get Games on Demand like Jade Empire (if they're still doing this), Wii would get Virtual Console games like Super Mario RPG, and PS3 would get Playstation Classics like Final Fantasy VII. The 360 does not get Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, the Wii does not get Wind Waker, and the PS3 does not get Shadow of the Colossus.

3. XBox Live Arcade, WiiWare, and PSN Store games count.

4. This is about consoles, specifically the 360, the PS3, and the Wii. Don't bring in handhelds and don't bring in PC games or I'm going to report you.

So, yeah. There we are.

Which current-gen console has the best games? Tell me why.

What's the point of this topic? it sure as hell ain't to find out the answer to the question it asks.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Khuutra, what have you done?

Set up a topic for people to have a civil dicussion about the differences in their tastes and come to a slow agreement about what many and varied reasons people have for preferring one console library over the other.

Why?



PS3!

Flame war begin!

Forcing people to see that there's no definitive answer to this question, even while they freely express their own opinions on the subect.

For instance: I think the Wii has the best games. Do you? Many don't!

Which games do you like best on the system? What elevates it above the others according to your set of standards?

All you Gubo 180 fanboys can just suck it!



So this isn't really a debate on what console has the definitively best game library but instead why you prefer the library you do. I can get behind that I think.

Of the two I have I prefer the games on the PS3, I think this honestly stems from my comfortableness with the controller considering how long I've been using the thing. I'm also a fan of story based games and there seem to be more on the PS3 than on the Wii, atleast as far as I can tell. I love PSN for giving me some really cool and inventive games that still look very pretty (Shatter, Flower, Pixeljunk everything but Racer). I can't say between the three because I have not owned a 360, but between the two I own I definitely think the PS3 game library is better for me.
