Brawl and Mario Kart aren't enough to win it for the Wii. 360 just has a larger quantity of goodness this year.

The 360 is coming out on top with the most AA+ games. So for games it is a sure win.

mariokart64fan: Did you need the extra spacing and vertical death? Ouch.

I think Playstation 3 has done really well this year. 360 has had some great titles come out but sparcely. I thought they had more going for them last year than this year. Playstation 3 has managed to make a big come back and provide some good titles. I value it like that rather than sales or units shipped.

As for Wii, I thought 2008 has been pretty bad for them. Sure the sales speak otherwise but they haven't provided anything really new or awe inspiring. Hopefully they'll have some new games to speak louder next year.

Probably PS3. Not saying it's better than the 360 overall but it sure has picked itself back up off the ground. Releasing the DS3, MGS4, best hardware sales most of the year, PSN getting major updates, etc.

Titles I'm interested in:

PS3 titles:

MGS4

LittleBigPlanet

SOCOM (maybe...not sure)

Valkyria Chronicles (Another maybe...)

Haze (Overhyped, but the main character sounds interesting)The Last Remnant)

Resistance 2 (maybe

360 titles:

Gears of War 2

Fable 2

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

Too Human (I know it was overhyped, but it's still got a decently sized fanbase and will probably sell well)

Tales of Vesperia

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

Infinite Undiscovery

Left 4 Dead

The Last Remnant

Wii Titles:

Mari Kart Wii

Brawl

Mario Super Sluggers (maybe)

Winner?

So as you can see, the winner for me is the 360.

Probably PS3. Not saying it's better than the 360 overall but it sure has picked itself back up off the ground. Releasing the DS3, MGS4, best hardware sales most of the year, PSN getting major updates, etc.jharv

Yeah, I'm very impressed with the PS3. I thought it was a dead platform at one point, but it's done very well. I'm considering getting one...for now, I'm a Wii60 owner, though.

Rules of Listing

I don't list -any- multiplat, time exclusive or otherwise. All titles are available in DISC format. Anything scored below 7 will not be listed. Upcoming titles are Bold/Itallic if hyped AAA+, otherwise listed in normal font.

Results

I'm actually really surprised by the results. While the 360 has a good back catalogue, for 2008, it's actually done pretty bad in terms of exclusive titles. Most people have ignored the fact that it has actually only received a few exclusive titles this year, with one of their strongest titles recently scoring sub-A.

It's actually looking to be a very good year for Playstation 3 owners this time around, with potentially 4 AAA+ titles, and strong number of A~AA titles.

Overall Numbers [Includes expected/hyped scores]

360

5xA~AA
3xAAA+

PS3 -

11 x A~AA
5 x AAA+

[I did not include the WII, as this took log enough as is]
