And yet, Xbox/PS arent that far behind the PC's with AAA's, yet its the Nintendo system that has always won the most GOTY's despite having the least AAA's.

Whats your point?

No its a 360 game that was ported to the PC. Just like Final Fantasy VII is a PS game that was ported to the PC.

So what you're trying to say say is that its unfair that GS had seperate categories for PC and consoles, which is understandable.

But its completely fair to stack the deck that if ANY of the three console system won a GOTY that it would be a loss for the PC and not for the other two.

Uh-huh.

If you add it all up though, nintendo is by far the strongest

GOTY is no different to any other AAA game in quality and offers no real bonus to that platform.

Nintendo obviously. Their only competition in number of GOTYs has been Blizzard (both have had 3).

I'm sure the highest rated game in history could beat all of those.

OOT is good, but Grim Fandango, Starcraft, Thief, Baldur's Gate, Fallout 2 and Half Life are probably the hardest competition ever.

I'd say all bets would be off in that race, since GS doesn't give awards based on what a game is rated on GameRankings.

^ topic... and PC exclusive of course.Zero5000X

World in Warcraft in 2004, happy now?

GOTY are anyways not that important. just see for example games in 1998 - starcraft, HL,fallout2,bg Grim Fadango etc all probably better than goty's of other years. Anyways if you want to check classics on a system check the greatest games of all times list at GS

Console games weren't included in the running until 2000, so for a fair comparison you shouldn't count pre-2000 awards, andin 2000-2002 GS had separate PC and console GOTYs, which means the PC was guaranteed to get one GOTY each of those years.Add Nintendo's 2007 GOTY for SMG, and the list becomes:

PC: 4 (3 'for free')

Sony: 2

MS: 1

Nintendo: 4

You forgot to add in Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo... otherwise, that is straight up ownage to PC-haters.

But you have to be fair here and remember that the PC has been around longer than the other consoles...

[QUOTE="Erkidu"] OoT was AAAA. :| I'm pretty sure it would have had a pretty decent chance at beating those other titles...Vandalvideo

I 100% agree. If OoT was on the PC, it probably would not have been AAAA, and if it was on the PS1 even, it even then would not have been AAAA. But it had to be on the N64, the underdog system.

Uh PC won GOTY With Half Life 2, and WoW recently.... Also Bioshock and COD4, and Orange Box won GOTY at many places.

And lets be honest, Bioshock, and especially Orange Box are PC games ported to the Xbox by Bill gates. However the PC versions are far superior (as they are the original versions).

Also WoW has single handingly crippled the entire gaming industry due to its massive and dedicated player base, how many console games can claim that?? Lmao.
