Ok, so you can vote for any of the three home consoles, the PC and the handhelds. The only catch is, you gotta back your vote up. I mean, simply saying 'teh Xboxx failz' and voting for the PS3 doesn't make much sense, nor does it lead to any enlightened discussion.

So please, be reasonable here.

Also, the Wii and the PSP are in the same slot because both have the (relatively) worst libraries this gen, so if you vote for Option # 5, please specify which one you DID vote for.

Bring it on, then!

EDIT: Keep in mind that by PC, I refer to the PC as a platform after 2004. This means that if you feel that the PC's library has been lacking since 2004 compared to the other consoles listed, you probably shouldn't vote for it.

EDIT 2: In spite of me explicitly stating that only PC games 2004 and onwards are being taken into account in the OP, there were many people who clearly didn't get that. I therefore changed the topic title so that it would be evident at first sight. For the record, the original topic title was: Which system has the best library? Let's resolve this once and for all!!!

It's the PC, no contest there. This thread is kind of pointless tbh.

So... If I vote for the Wii or PSP, I'm obviously wrong.

I have the sneaking suspicion that this poll is ever-so-slightly biased...

In my case, PC. Ever since got a capable PC my game backlog has increased by a ridiculous amount, and it just keeps getting bigger.

pc, mods, free games, best online, better graphics, highest rated library here on gamespot since 2005, great controls, good variety of games...

you can't resolve something once an for all, as it's according to the individual so we all have differing opinions which is why we are all here. i like consoles though, but the pc just offers more for me.

Not at all. I'm a known Nintendo fanboy anyway. :P What I meant was that as facts stand, the depth of content in these systems' libraries is obviously less than the others, however, you can have a different opinion, which is fully justified, and vote for these two on the basis of your OPINION.

Yeah, I guess. The reason I put 2004 up there was coz the DS was launched in 2004, which I think officially heralds the start of this generation

Its abit obvious that the PC wins this. its the only system to have unrestricted mod support, Tons of Indie games, and Free games aswell like Warock, Exteel, Rappel.

EDIT: Keep in mind that by PC, I refer to the PC as a platform after 2004. This means that iuf you feel that the PC's library has been lacking since 2004 compared to the other consoles listed, you probably shouldn't vote for it.

This will resolve nothing. It all comes down to personal preferences, and thats going to vary all over the place.

It is just an opinion and a matter of preference so there is no real answer, and scores mean nothing in this case, I'll go with the PS2 and PC for now.

Given I only own a Wii, a decent laptop and a DS, I'd have to say DS. The PC platform under serves in my favorite genres: JRPGs, platformers and action titles like God of War.

Really? I thought System War's fixation with graphics would ensure that they'd choose a DS over a PSP... this is news to me, and again, my respect for the people here has increased tremendously

the pc if your talking about all time.but this gen its definetly the 360. i know this is cowspot.as you can see on the poll. but if were just talking pure "numbers". then the 360 beats the ps3.no questions asked.just look at metacritic and gamerankings.
