While I do like the PS3 exclusives best . . . I think such comparisons are flawed because what is "best" is dependent on the gamer who plays the game. Review scores are simple opinions as well so they can't be used.

I've thought some low-scoring games were awesome, while I've thought some high-scoring games were horrible and not even worth a rent!

I really hate the console war . . . when will people realize that the words "best," "better," "worse," "worst," are relative words and dependent on the one playing the games and using the game system.

Can't we all get along? . . . . Hm? . . . ? . . . . Okay

yh both of thse are right its all based on opinion, i love sports games but like krunal said some people hate them so give them a lower rating

I do think it's been a great year for the PS3. Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet were two of the best games released this year for any console, and Resistance II was also a fantastic shooter.

i think they are all great in their own right

Although I have to say I think PS3 is better. PS3 and 360 have great exclusives. I'm always going on about how PS3 is much better, I'm going to stop that now since I finally listened and know it's based on opinion.

Now what if they chose the highest ranked exclusive games, put in Braid, World of Goo, and Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, count in all exclusives and see what happens.

I have actually enjoyed Haze as a PS3 exclusive. Not game of the year I just wish it wasn't bagged on as much as it has been. PS3 exclusives have been my favorite this year.

How many of these have we seen by now? And people still don't realize "best exclusives" is a matter of opinion.

I think Wii has nice amount of excusives and ps3 so it's hard for me to pick one.

It's obviously the Wii. How can Gears of War and Metal Gear Solid compete with Cooking Mama and World of Goo?

360 has the best, duh. it has been out the longest though.

Let's be honest, if LittleBigPlanet was any other console that would win. If it wasn't for LBP however it would be 360. GoW/Halo > all.

I think pretty much Xbox360>PS3>Wii.

It's just for the year 2008 and it was pretty obvious the PS3 had a better lineup last year. I thought it was clearly without a doubt better, but only 3 points isn't the spread I thought it'd be.

A lot of people are assuming this is over each console's entire lifespan, though. Wish people would actually include important shit in titles nowadays, not just what will attract the most arguments.

Wish he'd either include PC or just include Left 4 Dead in the lineup, though.

You're going to see differing views all over for what's 'best', so how can anything be definitive?

However, I think that getting only three big hitters in a year for PS3 is kinda sad TBH; not the huge comeback I expected. 360 had Gears 2, Fable 2, L4D, and Braid top ratings charts. PS3 had MGS4 and LBP. While admittedly last year wasn't full of blockbusters, we still had more releasing. And personally I think it's about time we got some exclusives that don't disappoint us all the time; more like MGS4, R2 and LBP, please!

Correction Red 9. PS3 had only 3 big title releases. As for best exclusives, you are forgetting a game called Valkyria Chronicles. That game was way over looked! And if you want to throw out downloadable titles, don't forget Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty and Lumines Supernova. PS3 had a great 2008 and looks to be carrying that momentum into 2009. Also, L4D isn't a 360 exclusive. I'm currently playing on PC so doesn't really count.

Now while it's no surprise that PS3 was #1 with exclusives in 08 what was surprising is that the Wii was #2. I can only think of maybe 4 hot Wii titles last year, but the only ones standing out above the rest on other consoles was SSBB and No More Heroes.

Outside of the games they have been riding on since the 64, the Wii's exclusive are horrible.

Koloth, there's a difference between not being interested in sports games, and just labeling the whole genre mediocre off general principle. Nobody can use the 'my opinion' defense to justify an ignorant view. His statement that he'd give any and all sports games 5/10 is basically prejudiced.

I may get Boom Blox (Wii exclusive) when it drops in price, as that seems like a pretty fun game. I like the Mario games on the Wii, so of course the Wii has my favorite exclusive games, but the Wii is a different kind of system than the PS3 and the 360. The PS3 seems to have more entertaining exclusives to me, and some of the 360 "exclusives" can be found on the PC, or will be ported to the PC later.

I am looking more towards the 360's third party titles (such as RE5 and Battlefront III) than its exclusives.

Whats best is relative to ones perspectives, experiences, and outlook on the gaming industry. I'm always going to consider the Playstation branding the best, probably in an unfair manner too, because I grew up with the brand and its a huge part of my life. The same goes for its exclusive games. For me, and Im not saying this on behalf of anyone else opinion, it has the highest quality games which ooze fantastic production values and great development.

As much fun as i've had with my Xbox 360, I must say that I feel I've fallen for the Microsoft hypetrain a little. Many of their "BIG EXCLUSIVES" like Gears of War, Halo, Mass Effect, and Left4Dead were not as great as I thought they would be. Then again, the internet is constantly challenged to realistic ideals and opinions. I felt I purchased my Xbox360 more out of hype rather than want. Having said that, my opinions are not the same as everyone else, and many will love the Xbox 360 more than anything else, and good on you for doing so too; showing that you do not conform to internet hype and website bias.

And that, is the reason I hate reviews. Behind the fancy artwork and html spreading, its just peoples opinions. They gloss it all up with fancy wording and comical anecdotes, but its no different to all of us having an opinion..

The Wii's exclusives were average also. Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy bored me senceless, as did Metroid Prime and SSBB. I just felt no connection or enjoyment from them whatsoever. But different people have different experiences and I cannot speak for anyone but myself.


So Im definately a Playstation man. Never again will I buy all three consoles, or more than one console in fact. Sony and their products have my cheque, and for good reason; they have provided ME with the best games and the best experience possible.

Guess what im trying to say is that everyone should just enjoy their favourite console and stick to it. Relish that one experience which feels best to you, and do not let the opinions of others, as much as they may sway you, alter your perception and unique gaming experience. Each to their own.

And another thin- *shot for talking too much*
