So it's Official, this was the year of

it's been the worse year of gaming as far as console/pc goes. if it wasn't for my ds and psp I would have never gotten my gaming fix. I never had a year were i played so many games with great reviews and that bored me to tears or dissapoint me

PS3 did beat 360, TC cherry picked the games, missed MLB 10/Yakuza 3mystervj

Lots of fighting over third place, PC and Wii have first and second locked down 8).

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Or high-scoring exclusives.Cherokee_Jack

360 Wins there too: 9.5 > 9.0. Only AAAE PS3 has had this year was GoW3, 360 had Reach. So not even that. Heck if you include, XLIVE titles, 360 has had more AAAEs too. 360 just did better this year with quality games in general, that is the most important metric.

8.0+ 360 exclusives in 2010:

Halo Reach

Dance Central

Alan Wake

Deathsmiles

8.0+ PS3 exclusives in 2010:

God of War III

Gran Turismo 5

ModNation Racers

Yakuza 3

MLB 10: The Show

Heavy Rain

MAG

Counting only AAAs and saying 9.5>9.0 is all well and good, but the PS3 still pretty clearly had more quality exclusives this year.

[QUOTE="Gxgear"]

I thought Heavy Rain didn't flop according to its hype thread?

Stevo_the_gamer

How can the hype be AAA when the official thread polled AA? :?

Oh and are we counting or not multiplats? RDR, Vanquish, BO?Giancar

Also isnt Kinect required to play Dance Central. If so then you can feel free to use it in your argument, just dont expect people to take you seriously :lol:

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="themyth01"] I did, here's the link: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/index.html?navclk=xbox360&tag=nav-top;xbox360themyth01

I'm wondering why you left Limbo out. I take it you counted MLB 10 for PS3 even if it's on PS2 and PSP?!

But alas, best year goes to the system with better games overall, not just exclusives, so I'll leave the exclusive only at that and go back to the main topic. Best system of the year:

# of AAAs:

360

PC

Wii

PS3

# of AAs:

Wii

360

PC

PS3

I'm sure you can begin to see the pattern.

Are you kidding me ? So you are saying that 360 outdid the PC ? You cant be serious ?

The 360 and PS3 both got owned this year by the Wii and PC. PS3 especially so this fall. lolStevo_the_gamer

not the PS3. 360 had more AAAs. Wii had a AAAA. Even the major Sony supporters will have a hard time making the argument for the PS3 this year.

themyth01

You left out a few Ps3 games and included a MP for 360 for some reason, unless you're including multi plats.

PS3 and 360 both had a terrible, generic year. PC and Wii dominated the PS3 and 360.

Suppose I should add "In exclusives." Multiplats were fine across the board.

I don't care who's year it was. I don't get any money from it.

So much win in one post. :D

Dammit, don't start that debate again. :evil:

Anyway, trying to go with "at least the 360 beat PS3" as a consolation prize is pretty shallow because, let's be real, they both sucked this year.

You forgot to include mag, jakusa 3, modnation racers,and mlb 10 on the ps3 side, if you're going by gamespot's scores that is

Actually people argue PS3 won the year, check first page.

What I gathered were people were debating with you that PS3 beat 360, not won the year. Either way, 2010 was a weak effort from both the Sony and Microsoft camp.

Well if as you say 360 had a bad year and its library outdid the PS3, how could PS3 win the year right. Like I said, check first page if you don't believe me.

I did read it over again, and I still don't see all these people you're talking about. I saw one post claiming the PS3 won;

Year of the PS3... AGAIN!

Search your feelings, you know it to be true :twisted:

And that's arguably a joke post.

This was the year of meh...and the awesomeness that was Bayonetta and Super Meat Boy. So many games(admittedly so many good games as well) completely screwed the pooch in different areas. Mario Galaxy 2 and Starcraft 2 are the only 2 games that really came through big in their genres. Outside of that sloppy design mistakes across the board. jg4xchamp

Score wise your proboly right. Enjoyment wise that varys person to person. Since I had a good time gaming this year and didint feel it was meh especially with games like lords of shadow and yakuza 3.

I agree with alot of this post, though I think DKCR is an extremely superb 2D platformer.

Without a doubt the wii. I haven't bought a single game for my wii this year, infact I sold some, but this year belongs to the wii.

When I think of gaming this year FFXIII is the first game that comes to mind.

I'm sure that's not among the majority, though.

Yeah the Wii did really good this year. Followed by PC, but Xbox 360 did ok this year. PS3 kinda failed.

Wasn't the MLB thing discussed plenty of times on why it's an exclusive just like that Tom Clancy game is an exclusive on PC?

themyth01

Given that we're so impartial and fair and have no bias whatsoever, maybe we should look to the very site that makes this decision:

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/mlb10/index.html

What do you see under the Also on: tab in the game.

MLB being exclusive or not is irrelevant since he decided to count ME2 for 360. So it should be counted regardless if he wants to make this list.

Halo Reach9.5

Dance Central

8.0+ PS3 exclusives in 2010:

God of War III 9.0

Gran Turismo 5 8.0

ModNation Racers

Yakuza 3

MLB 10: The Show

Heavy Rain

MAG

Counting only AAAs and saying 9.5>9.0 is all well and good, but the PS3 still pretty clearly had more quality exclusives this year.

It's about quality, not quantity. If we count all games though then you'd have to add:

Splinter Cell: Conviction

Mass Effect 2

leaving the PS3 looking worse still. I guess you could say PS3 had more AAEs but 360 had more AAAs.

I would rather play a bunch of 8.0 games than just one 9.0 game. Sometimes quantity is better.

PS3 is missing Modnation Racers (8.0), Yakuza 3 (8.0) and MLB 10 (8.0). But even still it definitely didn't win. It seemed like the Wii was getting an 8.5 game every other week this year plus it got a AAAAE.

2011 is looking great for the PS3 though. Same can't really be said for 360 unless Gears 3 is the best game of all time

I remember another themyth01 thread a while back where this same exact thing happened. People disagreed with him so he just changed his logic. This should be locked as he blatantly is leaving out games in order to support his arguement.

The arguing was expected. Imagine a person in charge of delivering news about the reason of Democrats losing Congress in a room full of democrats. I'm sure if it would have been, 360 had the worst year, there would have been a lot of agreeing and no arguing but I'm not one to take the easy approach when it's incorrect.
