Even if I couldn't, saying 'game library' is an idiot move because then you run into dozens of issues in using this. Who decides which games library is better, you, me, critics, my mom? We'd all have a different idea. Then you have multi-platform games, console exclusives, some games that just plain don't work on one controller as compared to another...

Sales, meanwhile, are absolute. They're also how the 'winner' was determined last generation when guys like Sess and Vlado had no reason to feel butthurt because the winner wasn't Nintendo


XFD typing all that to dodge the subject.

When you compare the Wii's library to the PS360PC, can you honestly say the Wii is the winner?


Yes, because it sold more.

And PC is to console what a tank is to a car. You just can't compare them like that.

You didn't answer the question. Which console has the best library? That may be arguable, but we know which of the three's library is the worst - the Wii's.

In my opinion? The PC, probably followed by the 360 because I willingly left my Wii at my brothers house 500 kilometers away after I visited there because all I ever played on it was Mario Party 8

In my brothers opinion? Probably the Wii, and the same goes for his wife and a lot of their friends out there.

high 5s everyone who said handhelds.

And SHINE is right, and what I've been saying. Consoles wars are ending. The fact that this gen is already about 2 years longer (with no real end in site) than most gens is showing that. Portability is the key ingredient in today's age, and there is much more room for improvement with handheld technology than console technology right now.

who on earth says that about the PS2? Almost everyone i talk to says the PS2 is probably the best system of all time. Ahead of the SNES, PS1, NES, and any other popular system.

I'll admit the XBOX might of innovated more with xbox live (and learned that people would pay monthly for online play....idiots), but the PS2's library is absurdly diverse. The only console that might have it beat with a specific genre is the XBOX and FPSs.

no real end in sight? there's a pretty real end - 360 probably gets a sequel next year and talks on it have already gone down. MS totally is gonna be talking about it at E3 to try to steal some of Nintendo's thunder.

and console wars are far from over, they're just changing. gaming is instead of being a two-tier system starting to move to a one tier system, but we're still a good 2 gens away from that really coming true. and there are a lot of advancements to come still.

360 probably gets a sequel next year and talks have already gone down? That doesn't scream "right around the corner". Furthermore it would be late 2013 if "next year" at this rate, which essentially is two years away. Meaning the 360's "lifespan" would be nov. 05 to around nov 13? 8 years for a console generation is really long.

Console wars are ending. And i love the anecdotal "a good 2 gens away". There is more room for growth in portability right now. Thats the general trend for almost all technology. Desktop PCs are on their way out, or becoming niche again like in the days of the early to mid 80s. Tablets and smartphones are in.

Its now about trying to have HD (or almost HD) graphics on a handheld, which you can then plug into a big screen TV. That's the future of "consoles" right now.

'right around the corner' is the Wii U, this gen's sequel, which is basically 'E3 is going to be all about this.' after that the 360, after that the PS3. there's a difference between saying there's no end in sight and there being a clear ending but it's not next week or something. yes, this gen has gone quite long. sony wants their system to be 10 years legit time too. despite this, sales haven't dwindled in anything but the Wii really, and that one makes sense since damn near everyone has one already, the sequel's coming out, and the library's stagnated a lot.


and there's more room for relative growth in handhelds sure, but in terms of actual growth consoles have that much, much higher. you're also way off base and wrong on desktops. sales are extremely good. there's a lot of that sentiment around so you aren't unique at it mind you, but every single time it gets brought up it gets shut down by the numbers.

then it gets said again only to get shot down again. it's been the song and dance for the past couple years now. people just don't know WHERE the growth is going to happen exactly on the outside, but it's pretty clear what's going on internaly if you watch the industry a bit (e.g., graphics aren't going for something like HD or higher and higher resolutions, but what, specfically, can be done within those resolutions - content).

are you talking sales of consoles or sales of games? Because while sales of the 360 and ps3 appear to be ok right now, sales of games for all three systems are pretty poor.

1st link: talks about how monitor growth is happening right now, but doesn't have any numbers to back up 'desktop sales decline.'

2nd link: trying to further the belief that the two markets can't exist together and making assumptions off of that. 'one's sales are up and the other is slightly down so that MUST be why!' doesn't work by itself.

3rd link: shows a rise in some companies and a decline in others. i'll get to this in a few as to why the 'decline' isn't even something to be taken seriously.

4th link: 2009. meanwhile here's some things from 2010:

http://hothardware.com/News/Desktop-Sales-Skyrocket-ASPs-Rise/
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9177304/Laptop_sales_up_by_43_in_Q1_says_Gartner
http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/20/technology/desktop_PC_death/index.htm (note that there's some projection here and the later years obviously can't be estimated properly right now).
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/PC-Sales-Grew-in-Q3-Despite-Worries-iSuppli-163158/


further, 2011 was plagued with all kinds of shortages in components. this didnt' help any of them, between the floodings in thailand killing HDD prices and microprocessors just not having enough supply to match the demand. those problems are over for the most part and 2012 will show it. hard.

what we do know however, thus far, within the past 6 months?
- monitor sales are up.
- NVIDIA had their desktop GPU sales go up by over 20% in November 2011.
- despite the market shortages, AMD has had growth happen in the laptop market for itself and in general, with much more on the way in this field. APUs are the future for it.

desktops aren't dying off anytime soon, but damned if people won't yell it. yes, the market share is going down, but that doesn't mean growth isn't happening. growth is up in multiple fields regarding desktops. laptop sales are up as well, with AMD having a huge growth spurt happen compared to where they were before and it'll continue that way.


seriously, i don't think i'll ever understand the notion that tablets will replace desktops when laptops couldn't either. at the end you know why desktop sales will gradually drop? because everyone has one. and then they'll upgrade parts. then desktops again later. laptops and tablets have a closer field, but the one to be phased out there isn't laptops - it's tablets. they're the ones stuck in the bad position. phones are growing in size and feel with 4.3" being an actual STANDARD now, and having larger phones consistently being made by the major non-apple manufactuers (HTC, Samsung, half a dozen chinese companies that have phones we might actually start getting) as well. asus has the right idea with the transformer and their phone too - we're going to have tablets and phones that will be able to double as a laptop... eventually. it'll be a merger of the markets, not cannibalization, that settles it.

...also your edited link is actually a pretty bad one.

1) it makes the same logical mistake of not believing the two markets can co-exist.
2) it talks about how SHIPMENTS have declined. which yes, makes sense because Q3 and Q4 of 2011 had horrible shortages occur. so shipments would decline.

Dude don't bother. I don't remember Robazoid being a slave to NintendroneB8faqs but apparently that is his deal these days. I already laid down the law regarding what it means to win a console war in the eyes of gamers. I already laid down the law regarding why Wii fans are so insistent that they "won" this gen. If people don't want to listen to reason, they aren't going to. Period.

A couple people in this topic, like MWC (I'm assuming he went to watch the kentucky game), seemed open to some rational discussion, but apart from that its just the usual nintendo defense force (GMUN, stifled, etc). Nothing is gained from having a debate with them, and nothing is gained from winning a debate with them. They're minds cannot be changed due to their blind nostalgia for their childhoods. Arguing that the Wii "won" this gen is just a manifestation of this delusion.

so basically you think all markets can co-exist? Assuming that is just as bad as assuming markets can't exist.

But let me guess, you think smartphones and tablets haven't taken anything away from handhelds?

Also your links are pretty poor.

first link: Im not going to say "nothing can cause a bounce back in desktop sales". Windows 7 certainly did that in 2009. But look at windows 8, how its going to be essentially a smartphone interface, and tell me that will cause a bounce back like windows 7 did. Microsoft is pretty much abandoning desktops with products like windows 8

2nd link: says nothing of desktops. Laptops =/= desktops

3rd link: "note that there's some projection here and the later years obviously can't be estimated properly right now). " Why can't they be estimated properly right now? What is so different about using statistics now then in 1928, 1945, 1993, 2002? Why are these specific years too complex or what not?

4th link: It says business demand created a desktop improvement. I'll agree that desktops will remain important in business for a while. I was speaking more along the lines of home and entertainment use. Business use is a completely different thing.

Overall it's obviously Wii as well though. You are either looking at it from your viewpoint or Wii wins since it has sold almost twice either of the other consoles.

PC is great because the games are the cheapest, if you get what I'm saying.

But to say that 99% of console games are on PC is a lie. No Platinum Games, no From Software. No Metal Gear HD or SOTC/ICO HD remasters.

Alright man I'm not gonna knock that viewpoint or anything but we're talkin about from an overall perspective, not just a certain demographic. That's cool though.
Overall it's obviously Wii as well though. You are either looking at it from your viewpoint or Wii wins since it has sold almost twice either of the other consoles.


We already discussed the whole sales issue. We have already had this entire argument. It's over. If you wanna debate it go do it in another topic, but its been settled here. Thanks for coming out though.

I'm personally not a fan of the Wii, but a console that managed to be so wide spread that it somehow turned my grandmother into a gamer is definitely the winner this generation.

Then why did you say we aren't arguing from a certain demographic? The ONLY way 360/PS3 could be considered the "winner" is arguing from a certain demographic.

So you bought it for one game? If that's fine for you then cool but I don't really buy consoles unless there's going to be like 15-20 games I want to play. For me the PS3 has MGS4, Uncharted series, and God of War 3. Everything else is on PC as well or looks like it's going to be in the future.

Personally, I don't like the Wii as a system, but it does have a strong library of exclusives that I'd miss out on if I didn't buy it. It's a perfect complimentary system, to be honest. Wii60 or PSWii works out very nicely.

Personally I went with PSWii60 so I wasn't limited in terms of what I could buy.

I was just letting you know what we had already done. But the discussion is over. Wii "won" on sales, PS3/360 won on overall gaming experience which is what truly matters to video game fans, and the handhelds were probably your true "Winner" this gen.

Rock that's honestly the best description I've heard for a Wii: a complimentary system. It's nice to have for brawl, galaxy, etc....but for it to be your main system is a joke.

Seriously, guys. What the heck. The only argument to the contrary is "That doesn't count because I don't want it to."

Depends on who your friends are I guess.

I mean if my friends weren't all casuals my Wii wouldn't be my main system, but now it is.
