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

I want to start out by thanking Khuutra for making this thread, which has an epic amount of insight into a lot of people on here and I'm sure I will bookmark it sooner or later. (The same can't be said of any number of listwarz threads, angrypoolman, IMO.)

But I'm afraid my own contribution is going to be pretty sketchy, if only because I can't conjure up an essay like c0rd's or Gnizmo's or CGI-Q's off the top of my head right now.

For me, although the 360 has some great games, it's not on par with the PS3 and Wii in my mind -- though that may be partially due to my refusal to pay for Gold cutting off gameplay opportunities.

I think I've played more Wii games, but I think I've played my PS3 games more. (Ratchet & Clank, LittleBigPlanet, Valkyria Chronicles, and Fat Princess especially.) But the Wii is not to be kept down with games like RE4 (for the third time!), Super Mario Galaxy, SSSBrawl, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, World of Goo, etc.

I think I'd probably go with the Wii, but it's not really necessary to think about it too hard, because New Super Mario Bros. Wii is going to tip the scales like in that episode of DuckTales when Scrooge and Glumgold were measuring their penises fortunes, and they added the treasure from the floating ruins.

(For those of you who actually get the reference, it's an exaggeration, but LBP is a huge point in the PS3's favor to me, and if NSMBWii doesn't simply erase that advantage it'll be because it reversed it.)

subjective too subjective.

The PC isnt a console thats already out. The Wii does not have enough games that i like so thats out. The 360 doesnt have enough exclusives that liike so thats out


Behold the PS3 wins. Though its just an opinion of one person ;)



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

for me, so far this gen:

1. 360
2. Wii
3. PS3

in terms of exclusive games only.

You pretty explicitly made your own thread for exactly this kind of talk, kindly take it there.

@serious_frusting, SciFiBoy:

Well, I guess you two can guess the question I'm going to ask, but I'll do it anyway.

What is it about those experiences that you like best?

@Final-Fan:

Thank you, you're a peach.



@Smeags: I'm not sure what games he's refering to, but PixelJunk Eden is a great ps3-only platformer that may have been overlooked. An absolute must play in my books if you're a platforming fan.



Demon's Souls Official Thread  | Currently playing: Left 4 Dead 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Magicka

PS3, it has allot of 1st party franchises which I love, so it beats 360 and wii, and it has allot of 3rd party games which I like so it beats out the wii.

So all in all, for me, the PS3 is the current-gen console that has the best games!

Just one thing to remember though, games like art is subjective, it's subject to our tastes, but one can not deny that in general, there are more games on the PS3 and 360 which people like in comparison to wii games...but again this is just my opinion.

my 2 cents

sorry, I was busy reeling from the fact your response was actually intelligent, well done

personally, Ive played and like more exclusives on my 360 than any other console this gen, thats not to take anything from the other 2 of course, i love there exclusives too, just theyre have been more ive loved on my 360 so far.

Excuse me?  I just didn't want to derail my own post.  If you want I can be more explicit: 

The topic that Khuutra made a thread about and is trying to cultivate is valuable information that I enjoyed reading.  Your open challenge for anyone to do combat against your list that "proves" the Wii (+VC) is indisputably superior to the 360 and PS3 will not produce such insight. 

Your thread's going to be interesting in the same way a train wreck is, or better, a battlefield.  But we get enough of those and I'm probably not going to find it interesting to read 7 pages of, let alone bookmark for posterity. 

So go on, git, good luck to you and your new thread and don't let the door hit your list's ass on the way out. 

P.S.  This is despite that I agree with your opinion that VC does in fact put the Wii+WW+VC over the top vs. 360+XBLA or PS3+PSN.
