360 vs PS3 vs Wii - Who Won 2009?

Purely a statistical look at each of the three console's highest-reviewed games for 2009. Which system had the best game? Which had the most highly-rated exclusives? Also, a comparison to 2008's best games, and a quick look forward to first quarter of 2010 and the hotly anticipated multiplatform and system-exclusive releases.

PS3, and I didnt even have to read the article or the description just the title . . . lol. Now I'll read the article . . .

mastiffchild5981d ago

Well, certainly the PS3 had a great year with amazing exclusives from KZ2 and Flower through inFamous and Fat Princess right up to U2, DS and the end of the year. Add in the sales leaps with the Slim and price cut(worldwide) and FF13(in JP)and it adds up to a fabulous resurgence for the Japanese giant in 2009.

BUT, and , yes, it's a big but, do we HAVE to keep looking for "winners" all the time? It's not like Sony and PS3 outsold Wii for the year, is it? Did they make MS and Ninty give up on console gaming with this "victory"? Seriously "who won E3", "who won GDC" who won this, who won that... Who cares? None of them are goimng anywhere and isn't it a better story that 2010 looks even better whatever you happen to game on?

wii ftw5981d ago

Sales = wii
Exclusives = ps3

Dunno what the 360 won!

darthv725981d ago

and why does it matter?

I would say gamers won 2009 as there was a solid list of exclusives and some great multiplat games to be had. My wallet still hurts.

deshon095981d ago

wii but if you are talking about great new hardware and games ps3

Unicron5981d ago (Edited 5981d ago )

Winner - Gamers.

Loser - My wallet.

This focus on "winning" is getting slightly pathetic however. MW2 "winning" GOTY from Gametrailers didn't make it any more fun or any less buggy, for instance. Wii selling bajillions of units didn't sway me back to purchase one either.

Metroid Prime 4 is vaporware at this point

Zeldafan64500d ago

That's why it got a trailer last year

PRIMORDUS500d ago

Maybe it will happen after Metroid Prime 4 launches. Put Metroid Prime 2 & 3 on Switch and Switch 2.

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo563d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot563d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake563d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77563d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack563d ago (Edited 563d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation563d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72563d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
