I think they broke down pretty fairly. Of course you going to get fanboys on this site said that IGN is bias. Its pretty obvious gametrailers now IGN has Xbox the console of the year.

Fair enough. PS3 was last year, and the 360 gets it's turn. That's fair.

I wish they did system of the year instead of console by the year I think console wise Wii>360>PS3, but the 360 did have RDR, ME2, Bayonetta, along with its exclusives so I can see why

But the PC had one hell of a year, I hate it when people neglect it

InB4 the IGNorant spelling lesson.

This was a great year for each platform though. Personally the 360 is at the bottom of my list for 2010, but I can easily see why others would consider it the best.

I completely disagree, not because Sony had a better year (they were close), but because Wii and PC beat them both.

Obviously you're not biased at all to say that right? :roll: LMAO on topic tho, I think that thread by IGN was actually fair considering the other stuff we got. But it's funny though, i read that like 20 mins after being posted and there were already fanboys claiming MS had paid them off and how IGN's a huge fanboy and they wanna go to Gamespot :? Gotta love fanboys

IGN must be biased too... or maybe, just maybe, 360 did have the best year this year when you consider the entire software lineup (not just exclusives).

Looking back at it, no one had a GREAT year. Sure, there were a number of good games, but no consoles had an overwhelmign amount of great exclusives (except the Wii, maybe, but that barely counts considering it lacks any of the great multiplatforms this year). This was a great year for multiplats. They're the real winner. Next year's a different story.

Maybe PC. But the Wii missed (like every year) practically every single third party multiplat. And there was plenty of them this year.

I honestly don't get how the Wii lost, it had by far its strongest year ever. Biggest and most diverse line up of AAA and AA's, and even the only AAAA of the year. Its honestly a head scratcher but o well. It is what it is.

I think the 360 won (although the Wii had a great year) but really, I dont think either the PS3 or 360 had a truly fantastic year. I think most people are claiming the 360's victory with alot of Kinect love, which will no doubt be good for MS's pockets.

Most but not all, that difference which includes ME2, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Splinter Cell: C, etc... makes a big difference when added to exclusives.

A system does not need exclusives to be have a great year, it only needs a significant amount of great games.

does it matter though? even IF they had all the multiplats that the others had we all know they wouldn't be as good as the other consoles/PC

IMO, the wii's strength's has always been they're exclusives and one of a kind games...buying a wii for the multiplats would just be silly

i love my wii, but even i wouldn't buy black ops for wii over the 360/ps3/PC version

I honestly think the Wii lost out this year based on it under performing the past few years. People are "over" the Wii, and now I think anything it does good kinda gets look over. Just a little theory of mine, feel free to disagree.

Sure, but whats measured is always the experience you can't find elsewhere. This is system wars.

Because Kinect has pwned the Move in terms of sells and has sold well for MS, making it a success. As far as game line up, I think the 360's and PS3's have been kinda meh this year. Not a BAD year, but def a third party, multiplatform year. lol.

It being System Wars or not, I have a hard time understanding the concept of "if it's was not significantly better, it wasn't great". If every system had a great year, well then, every system had a great year. No need to say the contrary just because they performed more or less equally.

Comparing to other years, no, it wasn't. Not in my opinion.

You're probably right, as I havent even looked at any of the site's reasons for awarding MS the award with leanings toward Kinect. So I'll file this under "W", as in, I am "wrong". lol.
