MGS4 >>> galaxy and anything on PC/360/Wii Disagree completely, but thats just like, your opinion man.While it's true the ps3 won this gen, naysayers will never admit to it.TheMoreYouOwn
I have thrown MS under the bus this gen after going through 6 repairs and 2 360s..I have every console you can name. BUT even I have no idea what SONY wont this gen? They win the prize for most outrageous launch price this gen. They win the prize for removing bc for PS2 games. They win most hacked console this gen. They win at taking out the use of an OS..They have been struggling all gen and will continue struggling.

MGS4 >>> galaxy and anything on PC/360/WiiIalways thoughtMGS4 was overrated. I loved Metal Gear Solid 3: Subistence but MGS4 just feel like an AAAAE game to me at all: The A.I. didn't get much improvment from MGS3, the bosses were only all right compared to how cool the past ones have been, andthe graphics weren't that impressive besides the cutscenes.
No, I can think of games that are better than MGS4, including Super Mario Galaxy.

MGS4 >>> galaxy and anything on PC/360/Wii Well that is just your opinion and I disagree.won this gen how? last i checked xbox 360 was STILL killing the PS3 in overall software and hardware sales and the PS3 was STILL IN LAST PLACE.....please clarify?PS3 proved to have the best games this gen, and its still going strong. the wii dipped out of this gen early, the 360 seems to be doing the same, and the ps3 is still going strong with alot more games coming. Will the haters/naysayers finally realize that the playstation is the best gaming console and go with a playstation console next gen?

Well look's like you have it backwards..
Honestley though, when you consider ALL factors such as sales, exclusives, quality, quantity, etc, etc. They all tie in my book. Personal preference comes into play.

oh boy. you used VG chartz. you better run lol
wow we have lots of people around lately who don't seem too familiar with how SW works lol. I think if you pull up a VG chartz mention you shuld just ignore the forums for a few weeks lol.
I'd say the ps3 blew it big time this generation. Let's face it. PS2 won last generation hands down - both in sales and overall quality game library. We all thought they would come out and blow apart the competition again, and they didnt. They are arguably in 3rd place in sales and their gaming library was horrid for the first few years. IT's gotten some exceptional titles over the last few years, but it's been no where near the success that the ps2 was.

I agree with you, was just pointing out the strong perception that posters have here.PS2 didn't have a AAAAE last gen, Wii does. Wii has more quality exclusives than PS3 and 360 this gen. Last gen PC had more high scoring games than PS2 did. :| The ratings were far more strict last gen.

PS2 won the console race last gen, and Wii won this gen's console race. What do you mean by facts? Other than sales, there really aren't any facts in an arbitrary thing like deciding which console is the best. As for the wii, it's basically like the gamecube but with motion controls. Sure, it sold a lot of units by catering to a different market. But it does basically the same thing as the gamecube - good first party games and thats about it. Its overall game library is weak. Other than the standard mario, zelda, and metroid titles it does not have the diversity that the ps3 and 360 has. Sure games like GTA IV, Assasins Creed 1 and 2, Call of Duty, etc. etc. etc. may not be "exclusive" but they arent on the wii. That's a major weakness. I'd hardly say a console won a generation when you'd miss out on most of the critically acclaimed titles of the gen.The ps3 trumps 360. It is still going strong and there are far less dead consoles. I'm just hoping my 360 survives long enough so I can get through the games I haven't finished yet.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. The PS3 was hacked for 2 firmwares and it's locked down again. PC is the only thing that ALWAYS hacked, Wii was hacked to bits within an hour of launch and the 360 has been hacked every firmware update. The PS3 is still the most locked down console.Sales=PC

At the end of the day businesses are out to make money. It's no different for gaming companies. If we're going by that., Nintendo won this generation, as they made bank from day one. Sony, on the other hand, took losses from day one.

exactly. i mean, if we're talking pcs in general, then i'd agree from 2006 to now that more pcs have been sold then consoles (still, where the hell do we even get that figure???). but gaming pcs? not even close. the overwhelming majority of pcs are not built through newegg, they are bought from electronic stores like best buy or walmart. these are NOT gaming pcs at all. i bought my pc from best buy in early 2008 and it can't play ****, it's pure dell garbage. i would love to find out what video card it came with, pc gamers would definitely have a laugh.
so let me ask casey, does my pc count towards these so-called numers? if so, then that my friend is a joke. and what about video cards? everytime one is sold, does that count? i just would like to know how and where the hell you're getting these numbers to make this claim.

He's talking about the extent of the hacking on each of those platforms.The PS3 hack is technically more worse then the others because it revealed the console's master key while the other hacks weren't able to do this.
"technically more worse"......... really? :cry:

[QUOTE="slarkyslark"]Won what? They dominated last gen, and threw that all away for last place this gen. Its a major disappointment for the Playstation brandrussiaAK47
its called GAMING, and ps3 had the best GAMES. ps2 had the best and most GAMES last gen too. this gen sales dont seem to matter because everyone knows who buys wii's and for what. exercise machine=wii. grannys and mommys buying it for their 6 year olds too. and 1 hour a week of playtime for the average wii user lol. you can have 1st place in sales ill take my games.
Wrong.. PC had the best games this Gen... Speaking of this gen; It's not over.
Stop making posts like this.

LOL at pc when all the good games are on consoles. it seems to me like game developers dont even take pc serious, thats why all the best games come out on consoles. pc is last, and you just said pc has the msot sales ???? haha ofcoarse because people buy a pc for internet, homework, not for games. pc=last
this generation alone the pc has more high scoring exclusives (8.0+) than all three consoles combined.
Glad we can agree on something, Casey.
3 gens in a row sony has been treating me FANTASTICALLY ... no reason to not continue as they most likely again will lead the way campzor
Yes, treating you fantastically by charging you mass amounts of money for overpriced hardware during the PS3's first year. How goes losing your personal data with the PSN breach that Sony could have prevented?

LOL!! PC isn't even in the race. TigerWars
this is system wars. yes it is.
PC is like the little snobby cousin that is only included because our parents told us we have to play with him.PC is included because this is GameSpot, and a lot of us game on our PC. Also, this is System Wars and a lot of use consider our PC's gaming systems.
Just because you don't game on a PC doesn't make it completely dismissable in this equation.

PC's are hacked as much as their users allow them to be.. I've been gaming on a PC since 1995 and I've only gotten one virus and it was due to carelessness. If you protect your PC properly, and don't mess with the wrong people then you have nothing to worry about.
