How is the winner of the System Wars decided?

[QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

So in terms of deciding which system wins in "System Wars", we use Gamespot scores. Which shows that Forza 3 attained the same score as UC2.

TREY_FOR_LI4E

Sure, if you ignore every other review out there in the world.

Ugggghh, I just explained that to you. Please read, and then comprehend what you are reading before you comment back ok? Lest you look like you don't know what you're talking about.

Sales say who officially wins. Imo the winner is the one with more quality games.

I know it isn't the only site. However in System Wars we go exclusively by their scores. You are on a forum of their site.

So we can't use sites owned by CBS Interactive (Game Spot's parent company)?

I'm not sure of the xact intricacies, but like I said, you can bring them up. I'm just talking in terms of deciding what games are AAAA, AAA, AA, A and flops etc etc.

Do you just not read the posts of the people you're countering? Otherwise, this has all been addressed in my very 1st post to you.

Overall of everything.

I can't see the reason why we can't bring them up, money is going to the same place.

Ahhh this is what happens when people misconstrue what I say, ie Trey.

I never said they can't be brought up. Go back and read my 1st reply to him please.

Ahhh never mind, here we go.

"Mhmmm, you're entitled to believe what you want. However in terms of flops, exclusives scores and listings and amount of AAAA,AAA,AA,A games, we use Gamespot scores. If people wish to bring other scores up conversationally, or inform people of other scores, then that's fine.

So in terms of deciding which system wins in "System Wars", we use Gamespot scores. Which shows that Forza 3 attained the same score as UC2.

"

Note how I said we can bring up other scores conversationally, though the have no impact on what is AAAA, AAA, AA, A in "System Wars". ie this place.

How am I wrong. Take my post and ask a mod. They will tell you.

Explain why the System Wars exclusive spreadsheet doesn't have other scores in it then? That was my initial point, and you seem to fail in understanding or reading comprehension. That is not my fault :?

spreadsheets are only as good as the person making them. Garbage in, garbage out.

So you have no counterpoint, do you finally understand what I was saying, or are you still reading and putting words in my mouth.

Your missing there is no end to this war.

No one will agree that one console is the best.

Correct. The mods who happen to work for...... *drumroll* Gamespot!

Sales are the only things that can actually be measured.. Arguing about the "quality" of exclusives wont get anyone anywhere. Opinions are subjective and it seems most of SW doesn't understand that basic concept.

STurn21

You are absolutely right.

Fix'd

And, yes, UC2 outscored Forza 3 at metacritic and gamerankings.

TREY_FOR_LI4E

That's wrong. System Wars or any other gamer than you does not decide it off that thread. What are you talking about?

We're not on Metacritic and Gamerankings, we're on Gamespot, where we go by their scores.

Gamespot. Schmamespot. Gamespot isn't the only review site out there for video games, and a review from Gamespot isn't any more or less credible than a review from IGN, 1UP, or Amazon.com user reviews. They're all just opinions, but at least metacritic and gamerankings (both of which are owned by CNET, which owns Gamespot, fyi) try to take some kind of consensus or average of review sites.

ITT volunteers can't work for anyone.

I'm pretty sure sales have never determined the winner due to the PC lacking sales data.

Actually mods are just users with slightly more powers. Admins work for Game Spot

Sorry I misconstrued what you said.

Go post at those other sites then. This is GS SW, that's what we go buy, score wise. Deal with it or leave the kitchen_4_lifecainetao11

[QUOTE="Burning-Sludge"]

It has always been sales until it was obvious that the Wii was going to win the generation by that measurement so it changed to something the PS3 has the most of and the Wii has least of.

TREY_FOR_LI4E

I don't think anyone contests the fact that the Wii is winning sales and will probably win this generation for sales. That said, while the Wii may have some good exclusives, PS3 has every console beat hands down in the quality of exclusives department. To deny that is on par with denying that the Wii is sales king at the moment.

This kind of response is the reason why SW isn't what it used to be. Sales have always determined the winner. Now SW is infected with rabid fanboys that change the rules.

However many fanboys are currently present

According to this topic, the system with the best exclusives wins the System Wars.

According to this topic, the PS3 has the best exclusives:

Ergo, PS3 has won System Wars! So nice! ^_^
