That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
It doesn't win in sales or games. Of course, the games part comes from the fact that Gamespot is the law around these here parts.
The PS3 is dead last in sales and yet people brag about its sales. The PS3 has not won a year in terms of games yet. (every thread COWS themselves make always claim 2010 via exclusives and we know that means they are admitting the PS3 has not won a year yet)
Silverbond asks you: Why? Is it because the PS3 has been having a few good months? Sure, but it doesn't win in anything.
As usual, my evidence for games comes from the spreadsheet.
Author's note: Before you all flame the Bond to hell, hevjust want to say that he owns a PS3. The Bond enjoys it very much. But, in terms of SW there are just some things that are true and some that aren't. Personal opinions are fine, but for SW's sake The Bond just can't see how he's wrong.

"The Bond" is really letting the PS3 fans get to her.
Why are PS3 fans gloating? Well, they had an awesome year... which console got the most memorable, critically acclaimed games released this year? PS3 obviously (it should have been obvious last year, and it's completely unquestionable in 09) You'd really be the fool, and especially BIASED to believe otherwise.
It's not only the gamespot reviews... basically, go on almost every single professional, credible, and well known gaming website out there... gametrailers, xplay, whatever.. you name it. I don't think a professional out there would have the guts to say 360 had an impressive year... well, because it didn't. Simple as that :|
I thought you guys would have realized by now. It's an 360 vs. PS3 forum. Don't like it? Well too bad, because that's what it is, and you guys are the ones always contributing to this. PC? Yes, it's a system... too bad 85% of posts are PS3/360 related. You love Nintendo? You love the Wii? Again, too bad. You guys are an even bigger minority than the PC fanboy posters.
There's no competition with the Wii. Sure, it totally destroyed in sales... but who can honestly say that Nintendo's general consensus on quality gaming is seen as "awesome" ? No one. Absolutely no one. How many hardcore Nintendo fans will you see come in here, and tell you that the best gaming experience comes from a Wii? Like I thought. Critically acclaimed games for the Wii are based on Wii Standards/capabilities. Great games on Wii don't necessarily mean that they will be great games on 360... especially since you pay less for those games as well.
Then there's the PC. How do you even judge its sales? How can you find the number of PCs purchased that are strictly for gamers? As far as the games go... yeah, they are critically acclaimed, for sure. But not every PC can run these games in their highest potential. They are critically acclaimed BASED on the standards of the PC. Yes, they put into account that you can spend $500+ on a gaming PC... they put into account that there is no standard PC gaming controller, and the "difficulties" in getting games started. That's all PC Standards...
Standards... that's a big part of System Wars, and that's also something your Spreadsheet will never be able to tell us. PS3 and 360 are basically held up to the same standards. From graphics, to gameplay, to controllers, to features, to online... and even to overall userbase... PS3/360 is where the "war" is at. That said, PS3 easily dominated 360 in 09... and it did in 08 as well, just not as much.
Sure, PC and Wii are a big part of SW... to those who care that is. Yeah you'll have someone post a PC or Wii dedicated thread here and there... and you'll also have people snapping back at me, and possibly flame me for making this argument. The fact is, those people will be heated within the next hour or so... and then reality will kick in with PS3/360 posts taking 85% of each SW forum page...
I'm just saying...
