It all depends upon which genre of game you're referring to during 2008. Personally, I believe Sony's system to be overpriced, their technology to actually be dated as other companies associated with Blu-ray actually make superior Blu-ray products, and the core processor of their system to be so unuseful for developers that it's broken. With the exception of maybe MGS4, there hasn't been a single game on the PS3 that has been even tolerable to me when I've had the opportunity to play any given game on the system. Game for game among any given genre, the 360 is superior with the exception of MGS4, because the 360 has no game along similar lines at this time. Fortunately for the 360, MGS4 is simply terrible and for the most part a complete borefest. If it came to the 360, I would never buy it...it's that bad.

For my own personal gratification, I tend to use multiple review sites to establish my opinion of a game. Gamerankings and metacritic are useful. It's pointless in a place like this to only use Gamespot as our only means of reference. No self-respecting member of the intelligensia of this society ever uses a single source as a basis for their opinion.

What in the world are you replying too? The list does not contain arcade games.

Sigh I made this thread smart guy.... and did you even see who I was replying too? He said arcade games shoudl I count but i siad....

Arcade games don't count because they arent actual full retail games unless its like gran turismo or socom. Your going to compare braid to LBP? Doesn't make sense...

No, I was actually asking if Stevo the Gamer was using Arcade/PSN games in comparison of the amount of games (because I didn't think the 360 had gotten that many more games this year). I wasn't saying XLBA/PSN/Wiiware should or shouldn't be counted, there is a whole thread on that topic on the first page right now.

Than that ties into what I am saying, if he does uses it it wouldn't count if he isn't than I apologize for the misunderstanding :D

Yes.

"I assume that counts XBLA games, Cause I can't think of that many games the systems don't both have."

Care to point out where?

People can argue all they want. Heck, I'm not even going to say who I think "won" 2008. In the end I, as a gamer, is the real winner here. But as fanboy-ish as people want to act. You can't deny the fact that PS3 really stood it's ground this year. The year started off with a huge push for Sony when HD-DVD announced it's withdrawal. Blu-ray is already catching on faster then DVD did. I know this has nothing to do directly with gaming. But it has a lot to do with the PS3 system. It no doubt had and will continue to have an effect on the system. Multiplats have become virtually equal. The main difference now is always regarding darkness/brightness, which can be adjusted in the options. Even EA has no problems porting! Sales of systems and games have greatly improved compared to last year. Games released November/December of last year have sold very well throughout the year. I believe atleast 10 games from last Xmas to now, have sold well over 1 mill. I know thats not groundbreaking, but compared to PS3's previous year, and constant remarks of how games don't sell on the system, it's a pretty great improvement. Last but not least, PS3 has really held it's ground with their exclusive games. MGS4, LBP, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, GTA5P, ect. Again, I'm not saying it's been an astounding year for the PS3. I'm just saying compared to last year, PS3 has undoubtedly had the greatest improvement. Even though Wii has sold the most, it obviously had the least amount of great games by far. Which sucks, because the previous 2 years IMO have been great regarding the Wii's lineup.

It's been a great year for games on the PS3. Bad for me that my PS3 is broke. I need to stop buying games like Fallout 3, Dead Space and Fable 2 so I can put money towards fixing my PS3. I miss MGS4!:cry:

And the only game listed in the OP that I am even remotely interested in playing is Banjo. Even Metal Gear Solid 4 is becoming unappealing to me even as a huge MGS fan.

i do think ps3 won but not as much as sony expected.with ms stealing more exclusives(ff 13,tekken 6)and bringing on the new update i think ms countered sony pretty well even on a down year.Microdevine
Microsft did not steal any Sony exclusives and the true gamers wins meaning all console are winning
