yes.

It won if you count consoles only. PS3 wins biggest comeback with 2 AAAE and 1 AAAAE. PC had 4 AAAE this year though.

As far as consoles go agreed. PS3 has the best year according to GS.

Yeah according to GS and SW "rules". According to gamers who knows it's your preference. Both are arguably better than the other (PS3/360).

The day I see a console have more AAAE than PC is the day I will be shocked and absolutely impressed.

And what does your reply have anything to do that compared to me you could be classified as what you call other gamers. A casual?

GOTY and other awards have never meant jack in what platform has had the best year as JGXCHAMP has said. The unwritten rules of SW have been in place for a while now.

And as I've said multiple times if you're argument is popularity then you need look no further then the Wii controlling about half the current gen market with Mario Kart Wii slaughtering everything in its wake sales wise.

IGN, GS, and GT are pretty credible. The MOST credible award ceremony IMO is: 1.) The Interactive Achievement Awards held by Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AKA D.I.C.E. Summit).

In my opinion the Lemmings won, because of its wide variety of exclusives aimed at a more mature audience(sorry Nintendo.) It had game exclusives like Mass Effect, Gears of War, GTA, Banjo Kazooie, and Halo to really give everyone a wonderful experience when buying a system. This system has way more exclusives than systems like the PS3, which has, basically MGS4 as its heart. Also, it took so long for the PS3 to get any exclusives it left cows looking at their watches. Also, the PC... I can't even start, all the PC does is just take games from other systems and make them their own. Real original. The Wii is great for a younger audience, but cannot hold up to what some mature gamers want.

awmannn

Wrong! First of all, Crysis and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition are excellent PC exclusives, which beat most console exclusives altogether! At least, thank CDPROJEKT for bringing The Witcher to consoles! Anyway, what the PC does is steal selective games from consoles and improve them!

True, but popularity is still greatly tied to gaming nominees. Gaming is different than movies. Gamers usually know a good game when they play it. The audience for movies are much more widespread and casual. Usually popular games do get nominated as do unknown games (that are quality).

Just like a casual movie (Spiderman 3) Games like Wii Play and Wii Fit are comparable in that sense. The Wii is another story. It tapped into a casual audience like movie watchers.

[QUOTE="killab2oo5"]Going by Gamespot scores Sony and MS were tied,followed by the PC,then far down the line there was the Wii. There were a few multiplats that didn't get scored for PC though.Afro_Samurai1

Going by Gamespots scores PC was ahead of both Sony and MS man.

mgs4 and gtaiv both scored higher than any pc exclusive or multiplat this year.

.... GTA IV is on the PC. lol

Man, how can people be so ignorant?

The PC won, it had the most AAAE's and AAE's.

Wait, how did the hermits win? The only arguments I hear are between the cows and lemmings. Hermits don't say squat!

Wow in 3 years you just listed all of the 360 greats with 3 games and 1 multiplate lol. You did miss Halo though lol in your list. So 4 games, with 1 1/2 years since its last AAA til Gears 2. Also other lemmings below hyping a firmware update is just laughable aswell. Heck since I've had my ps3 there has been no waiting, unless not being able to buy all of the games I want, so having to save up for them has really been the hassel lol. So basically your list your hyping is the reason why I don't have a 360, 2 of the 3 games you listed is on the pc aswell, heck even the multiplate you listed is now on the pc lol. I'll stick to my ps3, god how I love having real exclusives and not just some bread crumbs thrown at me for exclusives and $50 million dlc that comes out 8 months after I've already beaten the game its for lol. Oh heck you said 08 aswell huh, so you only actually listed 1 games unless you did mean Gears 2 and not Gears lol.

depends if your speaking internet bragging rights or real world situation, because in reality the wii dominated in a largely separate demographic with no competition, the 360 won the more traditional gamer segment and the ps3 came a distant 3rd, the PC again is a largely different demographic to consoles, not to mention piracy issues which impact sales so I try not to judge the PC in the same vein as the 2 hd systems.

how exactly did you work that out? Wii outsold them almost combined, 360 & PS3 sold similar numbers and in terms of quality their libraries were pretty similar.

If anything, the PC won Internet List Wars and the WIi won in the Real World. The PS3 and 360 didn't really win squat. His reasoning makes my head hurt.

Hermits all the way...

-Spore, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Red Alert 3 etc....

BTW if there's someone who would say that the sheep will win just because their Wii had the greatest sales...think again. The Wii's sales when compared to the sales of PC's across the world is like pitting a cat to a lion. So I guess the sheeps have no room for an ...award (except 3rd place that is since Cows and Lemmings tie for 2nd place :D)

How could anybody claim a particular group lost last year? everybody got some great games (although I think the Wii's last 6 months were for gamers with odd taste).

None of this lemming, cow, hermits fanboy crap, its really, really dumb and makes no sense whatsoever. I think what you meant to say was "Who won 2008: 360, ps3, or wii? In my personal opionon i think the 360 won this year because for one, it kept up with the ps3 and wii, second; some good exclusives came out and lastly, the new xbox live experience was a sucess (offering more movies, tv shows, and a better social sceen for live users) and playstation home was a complete failure (for most playstaion owners). I would have chosen the Wii to win but it just didnt deliver the games that i enjoy playing
