The nintendo ds is the greatest game system of this generation besides pc

seriously this system has it all great rpgs,amazing strategy games,new genres rarely seen,quality shooters and of course that nintendo goodness.

I agree. Also in the running for greatest system ever, right alongside SNES, N64 and PS2.charizard1605

I've enjoyed my DS much, much more than any console this gen or last gen. I'll agree with TC.

Handholds are crap compared to consoles and PC tbh.

this one is better ->

To me its a bit too close to the PSP to decide.

Nope, it's not even close to the ps3 or 360 when you add in multiplat games and things like online gaming. Sorry. Not even close.

DS 16 AAA games

PS3 / 360 - over 60 each for PS3 & 360

Meh, besides Pokemon it was generally useless to me. I guess Animal Crossing for it was good. A few other earlier games like the mario 64 DS were good. Besides that... Not much I care for.

[QUOTE="ps2snesgod"] i didnt know a reviewers score mattered more than your own opinion. also more like 40ish for 360 and 30ish for ps3 according to metacritic.lx_theo

I don't find it fair to compare the PS3, 360, and Wii to the Nintendo DS. Since it's a weaker platform, development costs typically aren't nearly as high, so developers can take risks with new IPs and try gameplay mechanics that they otherwise wouldn't on a major console. It's a great system and easily one of the best, if not the best handheld thus far. I would only compare it in that arena, though.

Nintendo DS' exclusive library tops all others this gen. As a platform I prefer the PC because of multiplats but Nintendo DS feels like the PS2 of this generation.

Not even close. It is tied with the Wii for the worst gaming device this generation.

3DS might end up grabbing the #1 spot though with its worthless 3D gimmick.

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"] Yeah, here in system wars we go by gamespot. And as far as going by reviews, just look at the numbers. If it was 10AAA to 15 that would be one thing. We are talking about each system have about 4 times as many AAA games as the DS. /thread

Sorry, my fault, I gave somewrong numbers.

AAA+ games on each system

DS - 16

PS3 - 53

360 - 58

Sorry DS can't compair to either PS3 or 360 in terms high quality games. To further prove the point I will list totals of AA games also.

DS - 87

PS3 - 173

360 - 239

[QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] No, we here in system wars we go by whatever happens to support our ideas at the given time the most. In a realistic sense, something like Metacritic with the compilation of reviews meshed together is the best representation.meetroid8

[QUOTE="meetroid8"][QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"] Sorry, no. We go by Gamespot scores. Forza 4 is a AAA game on Meta. It is a AA game on Gamespot. This means that in System Wars it is regarded as a AA game. SW voted on this years ago.

[QUOTE="meetroid8"] Who is this "we"? You can base all your purchases on GameSPot if you'd like to, I try to be a tad more reasonable. meetroid8

I think it's just ok. I had way more fun with the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
