360, because of PGR3. I had TP preordered for the GCN, so I wasn't interested in the Wii version.

You're missing CoD2 for the 360...it wasn't exclusive but it was awesome.

Wii. zelda and excite truck both got played well over 75 hours after the first 3 weeks of purchase.

Id have to say Wii then PS3.

Zelda and even RedSteel were awesome.

Wii, because it had The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, followed by the 360, with Project Gotham Racing 3 and I can't really rate the PS3, because I have none of its launch titles.

Not even a contest really, Xbox 360 comes up very strong against the rest.

The only thing the Wii had was a broken Zelda game that didn't belong on it's hardware

The 360 easily

Well I bought the Wii at launch, had an absolute blast with Wii sports (come at me) and Twilight Princess, so that gets the nod.FIipMode

Dreamcast

Wii. It had Zelda.

360 to me, but I did like Fall of Man

I thought the Dreamcast had the best launch lineup?

I agree, but I assume the TC meant for this generation.

What were the DC's launch games?

Twilight Princess = Wii at number 1

Resistance = PS3 at number 2

Everything else = 360 at number 3

although the wii had twilight princess and wii sports, i'd have to give the nod to the 360. while perfect dark or pgr 3 don't quite stand up the same today, they were decent games to play at launch. kameo was a great game that i wouldn't mind playing again.

wii had the best game with twilight princess, but 360 had more.

i think the ps3 had a stinker of a line up at launch, which is why i only bought one at the end of 2008 after the price dropped and i had mgs4, little big planet and uncharted to play.

No one posted PS3 yet there are 18 votes lol.

I mean, it had a giant enemy crab at launch :lol:

The Wii

Twilight Princess was the best launch game. (in my opinion)

People rely on gamespot too much for scores... I mean Perfect Dark Zero AAA? :lol:

Resistance: Fall of Man makes the ps3's launch lineup standout. Showed everyone how online MP should be done, dedicated servers with incredible netcode, large maps supporting a lot of players, and balanced weapons.

Actually, this might be a negative because I was expected far better online from games after that, few of which have lived up to, and all from Sony oddly enough.

Wii by far.

Don't.

4 mini games that are give me wins for $20?

no.

I'm not even understanding the love for the Wii launch. I remember buying it a couple days after launch and having that thing for an entire year before selling it out of frustration.

That first year was dismal.

It had Twilight Princess and Wii Sports at launch. The following year is a different story. The PS3 had it even worse.

Wii

It goes like this:

1) Dreamcast

2) N64

3) 360

This gen its 360.

Wii, because Twilight Princess is kind of a master piece and Wii Sports was pretty insane at the time.

Must Say Wii.

we sound like a bunch of old men talking about the past who was the bestbill russel or wilt chamberlin? who had the tighest shorts? what a hook shot he had. those were the days. but back on topic the wii was great in 2006. problem is that i havent played it since the other m which was a let down. such a short sighted system.

The 360 had the best launch.

I bought my Wii and then a couples of weeks later i got Zelda TP, that was all i needed, so i'll say, the Wii.

I choose Wii and it literally is based off of one game: The Legend of Zelda. The game itself completely justified the fact that I had a Wii.

There was no one game in particular that I can point to on the 360 or PS3 where I would be able to say, That's the reason to own this platform. They had good games overall. Like the 360 had Project Gotham Racing 3, Perfect Dark Zero (it's good, I'm not saying its fantastic, but I enjoyed it while it lasted) and other games that were solid in their own right. But nothing that made me want the platform. I waited until Oblivion was released before I bought my 360.

Same deal for the PS3. Games like Resistance look good, but I doubt people will point to it and say that it is a major reason to own the system. We're in 2011 right now and people can still recommend Twilight Princess as a quality purchase to any prospective or current Wii owner that doesn't have the game. The other Wii games were whatever. You know, Trauma Center: Second Opinion is fun for instance, but the reason why the Wii wins is because of Twilight Princess. It is a genuine system-seller.

The same thing happened last-gen too where only one platform had a system seller at launch (the original Xbox). But just having that one truly fantastic game is enough to make the rest of the line-up seem like it complements it rather than being filler.
