147 AAAs and over 600 AA games. What other system can compete?

PC always wins. It easily has the best library of games of any system ever made and no system will ever touch its continually growing AAA/AA total. It is undeniable that is destroys every console out there.

Thats not really a fair comparison though, by those standards you would count Nintendo's AA/AAA titles rather than just their respective consoles, especially since you can play virtually (no pun intended) all of them on the Wii.

If you count all the AAA/AAs that nintendo has had over the past 20 years it comes very close to the great pc, now if you count this gen and this gen only, you will see that the number of AAA/AAs are actually quite close.

aye i agree.

just out of interest...any idea how many AAA and AA the nes, snes, N64, virtual boy, GC and wii have put together?

and do we include handhelds? if so add the AAAs and AAs of the GB, GBC, GBA and DS.

same applies to the PS and xbox, though i think ninty have the greatest chance of matching it since theyve been in the business longer.

Games with more depth. A larger community that brings retails games to another level through mod support, fan sites, leagues, etc. The platform for gaming innovations.

lol lets see what is my idea of the ultimate gaming machine....

Cheap, fun, powerful, able to play all the games released not just one system....yep looks like pc isn't my idea of the ultimate gaming machine.

When pc gaming gets cheap ill jump out and upgrade my current pc right now its hardly capable of playing Empire earth 2 which is why i puchased a cheap laptop so as to play RTS games (the only games i enjoy on the pc) and a few free mmo's when i get bored of console games, PC gaming isn't cheap regardless of what the hermits want you to believe.

@rimnet lol games with more depth? yes beccause the pc is the only source of these games right? an online community that is in a shambles different factions...ect 99% of user made content is bad and you have to find the good stuff or wait till the original developer says here is a addon pack we will release for 20 bux its got all the best user made content cause we was too lazy to make a complete game.

some of the highest scoring pc games ARE....TA DA FPS games highest selling? LOL ta DA FPS games those are indepth? oh and WOW thats big but its not really in depth just go here deliver this item, fight these monsters then go here and get your prize of exp and gold.

you talk as if the pc is the end all and be all of all things, when it has its short commings which you gloss over quite frequiently.

You're wrong in so many different ways. PC games do have a lot more depth than console games. Please tell me: What recent console game has more depth than a PC game like Sins of a Solar Empire or STALKER?

User made content bad? Hell at least we have the option to make some good user based content. BTW have you seen any user content from Crysis or HL2? Thought not.

Highest scoring games for PCs are FPS games? Sins of a Solar Empire says different. You know, the highest selling PC game in the US at the moment.

Ugh, Do you think the mods will ever put the PC is better than everything else and wins in every case sticky again?

We have to hear this crap everyday.

Bragging about how great the Pc is is mostly like bragging you beat up a toddler.

Agreed. The PCs gaming library v. a console's library is kind of silly.

I disagree.

Whilst the PC certainly has its advantages, the consoles have some as well.

Namely: a lower price, much better overall ease of use, universal community intergration (like XBL), and, in many cases, exclusives that you simply cannot play on PC, like Zelda TP, Dead Rising, SMG, Virtua Fighter 5, Crackdown, and, soon enough, Ninja Gaiden 2, SSBB, Soul Calibur IV, and Fable 2.

So, overall, I don't see PC gaming as being categorically superior to console gaming at all.

In fact, I prefer consoles for modern games, though I still use my PC alot to play older games, like SS2 and Fallout.

EDIT: Also TC, your reasoning in the OP is quite ridiculous, and more than a little unfair.

How far back are you going when you tally the PC's AAA titles? since the PC isn't really tracked by generations how would you compare them?

To be honest, it's a pretty dumb comparison. stop embarrassing the hermits with nonsense.

Most games have very low appeal + you can get multiplats on consoles too.

So, you find it entirely fair to compare something like 13 years worth of PC titles vs. one console generation lasting on average about 4 to 5 years...
