The majority of the 360's games this year have been dissapointments. The Wii should have won, it had the best exclusives, but like always it is overlooked.

"Only exclusives" is just a stupid SW rule. In the real world people play everything, thats why 360 won and Wii didn't.

I always find that I agree with everything you say loco :) Also I agree that 360 had the strongest lineup, although that could have changed had GT5 scored higher and if LBP2 or even Socom 4 had been released this year, but they were pushed back to next year so its not like PS3 gamers should be dissapointed, they'll just be overwhelmed next year

Last time I looked, IGN and the like are still gaming sites not residing in the real world but on internet. They should abide by the rules by putting exclusives ABOVE multi-plats, otherwise they're just a casual gaming site catering to the CoD casuals running amok.

Why should a exclusive be put ABOVE a multi-plat? The overall library should matter more.

This is SW dude, multiplats don't exist. Didnt you hear???

Simply because it's not a pro/argument to own a console over the other. I wouldn't own a console if it didn't have exclusives, I'd rather buy them on PC which is multi-platform emperor since the PC was conceived. Get it? I need reasons to own a console. While PS3 has a good library, I am stepping out of consoles next gen. You can fight the the left-over breadcrums after the PC totally baked a bread that's actually an cake.

It was so good that i had to dust it off before selling it, 2010 was the Wii with just SMG2 and DKCR, pretty poor year for exclusive gaming IMO. Next year the PS3 looks to have it locked, Kinect games wont win it for MS.

you never actually owned one, Please dont say you did. Going to someones house putting your name on a card and taking a picture does not equal ownership and signing up for a free silver doesn't equal ownership either.

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.

IGN has been discredited numerous times, lots of weird reviews and biased columns. Don't act as if putting 360 on #1 is the reason to discredit them. There is a reason why the joke you can't spell ignorance without...exists. Even way long before this.

except the only people claiming bias or discredit in the past are the ones that don't agree. Face it 360 won, the ps3 is languishing in last place not only in total console sales world wide but in total world wide software sales which the wii and 360 enjoy 160 million+ more of. Your constant claims of bias wont change this, specially when you flip flop so much, First CNN wasn't credible when it comes to games, now its CNN is credible because they gave heavy rain #1.

Of course since the Xbox won, it has to be bias. If the PS3 had won IGN would be the 2nd greatest gaming site known to man, and there would have already been at least 25 other threads proclaiming the PS3 the king of all consoles.

Well, you're right. While my PS3 is languishing in last place, I'll be enjoying LBP2, InFamous, The Last Guardian, Resistance 3...do I really need to go on? And I didn't comment on CNN's credibility, I merely said they have more influence. Unless you are talking about a post way back.

and on tuesday GT was credible because they said GT5 was the best driving game this year and GoW3 had the best graphics this year. but yesterday they were bias again for daring to suggest that the 360 had the best software line up

Oh no you've brought out the overall software sales arguement again?! Why are both consoles ahead of the PS3? As they've had a whole year of sales to put them in that position, same with overall console sales. If you were watching the olympics and one runner was given a 20m headstart on the other but the first guy still managed to close the gap you wouldn't consider him the worse runner just because he came behind the guy in 1st?

They can think what they want, and they can exclude PC if they like, but if you ask me the Wii and PC definitely won. You can complain about the Wii's lack of multiplats all you want but it's not a huge victory for the 360 or PS3 when you consider all those multiplats are better on the PC.

so 5 years into last gen the dreamcast was still out selling the PS2 because of its years head start was it?

I didn't know we had to give in to what IGN said and not say who we think won. It seems to me like most of System Wars was in agreement that the PC and Wii won, and I agree. If you wanna laugh at the Wii go ahead, the PC still whooped the 360's ass this year. Sucks that the 360 will never be as good as the thing it desperately tries to imitate.

I don't know anything really about last gen sales so i won't delve into this too much but it wasn't the Dreamcast still being outsold year in year out by the PS2? That's why i spoke about "managed to close the gap". This gen it's way more close with recent years having close overall console and software sales.

lol, your in a minority if you think PS3 is languishing. Why do you care about sales so much? In teh real world beyond a rather minute 4 million sales gap PS3 is actualy doing quite well. Sales of the console are generaly up, otuside of the USA its actualy selling software and hardware as well if not better then 360, and even in the USA PS3 is selling software and hardware well.

All pc had this year was a wow expansion and Starcraft... In short, all the PC has left is Blizzard...
