I was so close to waiting for the PS3 and buying it in 2006 I'm glad I didn't. Funny how PS3 didn't win a single genre.

Although this is usually against my 360 fondness, ps3 won in the adventure game genre.

It is hard to say considering the PS3 is catching up in sales and will most likely pass X360, so it would be difficult to make that assumption right now. I would like to see a similar article more towards the middle lifespan of the consoles to make such bold statement like that.

I guess we will see where everyone and everything stands in a couple years.

The ps3 isnt catchng up that fast. xbox 360 sold 5 million year 1 and 5 million year 2. ps3 sold 5 million year 1.5. Saying the ps3 is 5 million behind, just proves it's still 50% lagging behind.

The PS3 may have beat the 360 in Adventure games, but it shows that the Wii actually one it - PS3 was in 2nd. 360 won everything but Adventure games, and the Wii one that one - PS3 didn't actually win any of them.

I find it quite funny that the PS3 is dead last in the RPG's.

Just looked over both quotes and I don't remember saying "catching up fast"? I am looking long term your still stuck on today and with it showing the "Worldwide" sells catching up total number wise, I would like to see about the statement in the middle lifespan of the systems. Didn't mean to put anybody on defense. :roll:

I have to go with PS3 as best console for me. The 360 only has one game I want and thats Fable 2. Every other game it has that interest me I can get on either my PS3 or my PC. In fact the 360 in the worst console to me. I have 0 interest in a wii, but at least most of it's games aren't on other systems. I had to look at exclusives only when picking between getting a 360 or PS3 and PS3 won that race.

That article is full of fail.

We all know the PS2 owns all current gen consoles in terms of game library.

its...not.....NEXT GENERATION.....its CURRENT GENERATION, it really annoys me when people say next generation when were already a while into this gen, and this doesnt really prove anything, its one sites opinion, of course the 360 has the best library, but thats still purely an opinion, there are plenty of people who think the wii or the ps3 have the best library, and there opinions arent any less credible then this sites

You obviously didn't read the article and you obviously don't know what metacritic is. They got there statistics from Metacritic.com which takes EVERY video game websites review score and averages the scores out. It is by far the most accurate you can get for finding out this information. So its not just 1 websites opinion when its every single website out there that reviews videogames.

the only reason why i think it isn't the best next gen console is because it doesn't even let you copy mp3's to it's hard drive from a USB flash drive or external hard drive, nor videos. you can't even use it as a media center. :roll:

I'll write what I wrote the first time.

If you play with the #s enough you can get whatever results you want. Gamesrader conveniently counted multiplat games. For me, multiplat games do not add value to a system. A system is only valued on it's good exclusive games.
