1.Uh yeah, you see does it take so long to figure out the fact that the PC will always get more games?Which improves the chance of getting a couple of more 8.0+ games. Besides you will find that consoles top games really does stand a chance against the top PC games. ( that include the Cod4 360 version, Las Vegas, Oblivion and such. PC doesn't win since most of the really really big time games are getting dated or already are with a few exceptions. In fact instead of running out and upgrading my computer for Crysis I'm enjoying Galaxy and Mass Effect.Gamingcucumber
So you actually have no reason, just that you prefer the AAEs listed on consoles. Hey that's fine, just don't pretend it is an empirical fact.
2. Oh really, you just proved that listing the PCs main genres. RTS, FPS and MMORPGs. You are completely right. Consoles has always had more genres and more games for different tastes.Gamingcucumber
Ok, lets dispell this "PC has no diversity" crap right here.
The PC has 5 genres represented in it's AAAE games. (Shooter, RTS, MMORPG, Strategy and Racer)
The 360 has 2. (Shooter and Racer)
The PS3 has 0.
The Wii has 2. (Platformer and Puzzle)
Combining all consoles genre diversity, the PC still wins 5 to 4.
But what about AAE games?
The PC has 12 genres (Racer, Strategy, RTS, Sport, RPG, Action Adventure, FPS, MMORPG, Flight Sim, Adventure, Submarine Sim, Regular Sims). I'm also being incredibly generous condensing all strategy games into one genre there.
The 360 has 6 genres (Sport, Racer, Fighter, RPG, Action Adventure, Flight).
The PS3 has 2 genres (Action Adventure, Shooter)
The Wii has 4 genres (Shooter, Puzzle, Adventure and RPG)
No console has the same amount of genre diversity in its exclusives. Combined, they still don't (since you cancel out overlapping consoles genres). The PC wins 12 to 9.
All of this was done through Nerdman's thread.
3. Because an expansion =/= a new game. Gamingcucumber
Yes it does.
Most expansions have more content than a console game and change the game mechanics significantly. Many expansions do not require the original game either. GameSpot feels they are a new game, hence they give them a review score. The only reason I can fathom you not wanting to count them is because it weakens your little argument.
