Let's flash back to last gen shall we? Last gen, it was concluded (rightfully so) that the best console overall (which also happened to correspond with sales interestingly) was the one with the most good software to play. Superior controllers, superior graphics, and price point didn't matter in the end: the games did. So as I observe this gen occuring, I notice a flip flop of fanboy mindset. All of the sudden if it doens't have "X", it's not worth playing. I can tell you right now that the only thing that makes the last sentence true is if "x" is replaced with "Good Software". So without further ado, let's look at the hard facts (remember GS numbers are the standard on this site. If you want to argue scores, go somewhere else. This is not the place): Xbox 360: 5 AAA (scores: 9.6, 9.6, 9.2, 9.1, 9.0) 44 AA (13 of them have a score of 8.5 or better. This means 29.5% of 360's AAs are damn good games still) 53 A (not spectacular games but at least worth a rent) Wii: 1 AAA (9.1) 12 AA (4 of them have a score of 8.5 or better. This means that 33% of Wii's AAs are damn good games still) 35 A (not spectacular games but at least worth a rent) PS3: 1 AAA (9.5) 14 AA (1 of them has a score > 8.5) This means that ~7% of PS3's AAs is a damn good game still [engrish is fun!]) 10 A (Not spectacular games but at least worth a rent) So we can conclude from this that the X360 blows the competition away by a long shot. The other two don't even compare when combined. I included downloadable games because, hey, a fun game is a fun game regardless of graphics (right, sheep?). I also took into account games such as resistance or LOZ:TP that were rated 8.5 to account for a potential whine session in case they were accidently underrated a point or two. I call that the flop factor. No matter which way you spin it though....360 wins in the fun factor.
but the 360 has been out a year longer...and I remember, I never played my 360 during it's drought. Â It sucked....I love it now tho! :). Â Once the PS3 and Wii get going tho, I think the 360 will finish 2nd....thats just my opinion. Â 2nd behind Wii.
damn i didnt realize the 360 had that many great games...Happyphilter
lol youdidn't realize it...becaue it isn't ture. If 360 truely had 2x as many good game as the competitors you'd always be talking about them. The truth is that there only RATED good, but in reality they aren't really better than anything out on the other systems (well maybe wii...) it only has 2x the amount of games in general.
Honestly, how many 360 games have blown you away since it launched? A score is one thing, but can a score determine how YOU feel about a game.Â
Take out the arcade games,VC,downloadables, and expansions and what are we left with
Wii - 1 AAA , 5 AA
ps3 - 1 AAA , 13 AA
360 - 5 AAA , 38 AA
The 360 is very good so far , but what will the Wii and PS3 look like next March from a similar timeframe ? I think the ps3 will trump both systems' totals. :D

actually the 360 had alot of good to great games over the long stretch with 5 AAAs(PDZ, GRAW, RS vegas, Oblivion, and Gears) plus the 360 had dead or alive 4, kameo, saints row, call of duty 2, project gotham 3, FEAR, splinter cell, table tennis, dead rising, viva pinata, lost planet, crackdown plus other exclusives and multiplats. 360 has a library of good games. and it keeps growing. with mass effect looking like the next potential AAA. but yeah it has been out a year longer. and the wii has fun games as well oh by the way, zelda tp, wii sports, trauma center, warioware, supermonkeyball, rayman, madden 07(shocker that its actually better on the wii). i dont count the downloadable games they dont count. they should keep there classic score, because thats there legit score for there time. and the wii has good games coming up with superpapermario looking like the next potential AA-AAA.
Every one forgets this simple fact the 360 will always be a year ahead. There is never going to be a case where the PS3 will have more AAA games than the 360. Unless microsoft stops supporting the 360 then this will be the case going forward. When the PS3 gets 2 AAA games then the 360 will probably have 8AAA. You can argue this point all you want but remeber the 360 will always have time on it's side.
ummm the 360 has been out for over a year i hope it woudl have more good games then the WII and PS3 other wise they would be in huge trouble. thast liek eb say the PS2 has 40x mroe better games then the 360.

Lets hope the 360 has more games, considering it has been out a whole year more. DUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH!!!! Is this the new way that lems are claiming ownage? Saying they have more games than the Wii and the PS3?

CoD2 only was like a 8.5 but I loved that game dearly.
This is total disgrace to my lemming brothers. I dont see why we cant keep our mouths shut. Like honestly im a lemming I actually got my 360 earpiece in my ear right now but c'mon. Just shut up dude we have got a long time over them. They will catch up. Stop trying to own what hasnt gotten a chance yet. Unless your afraid you have to own now because later you wont have a chance to do so.
The 360 has been out for 16 months, while the Wii and PS3 have been out for only 4 months. On your list, the 360 has less than 4x as many games in each category (except AAA), but it's been out for 4x as long, and the Wii is currently in a drought (I'm a sheep and I'll admit it's a pretty big drought, at least until Paper Mario comes out).
