I'm not trying to start a debate or flamewar about what console you think the best is, does it matter?... it's all subjective.

I'm speaking strictly from a business standpoint, Nintendo has made a laughing stock out of Sony and MS this gen.

MS and Sony, two corporate giants with big budget high powered consoles and enormous third party support and high budget development studios... and in walks little Nintendo with a good idea, Wii sports and a low budget strategy that is making an absolute mockery out of the bumbling giants MS and Sony, who have been left like dogs fighting for scraps under a table while Nintendo sits on its throne and enjoys a healthy feast.

Subjective.

Not any moresubjective than Wii having "the number one game"

We go by gamespot rules here. This year Galaxy was indeed the number 1 game.

no duh Mario galaxy is the number 1 wii game!

No number 1 overall thats why it won goty.

naw it wont goty because gS likes it. Not because its the best game. Thats strictly opinion.

Damage control. Gamespot gives goty to the best game of the year.

anyways nothing to see here because SMg is the number 1 game to sheeps only. Lemmings and cows know a simple little game like cod 4 owns smg.ff7isnumbaone
No SMG is the number 1 game by gamespot law as it won GOTY... and is also ranked higher on average at gamerankings than every single game on the PS3 and 360. Sorry :(

exacly, and by GSrules Wii also is the console with the weakest line-up

Yet the PS3 has 0 AAA exclsuives. People who own 360's or PC's such as myself have zero reason to own one outside of maybe Uncharted.

[QUOTE="ShenlongBo"]I've got Mario Galaxy, played a fair bit, and I like it. But can anyone tell me just what the hell it's done to earn it top honors among THIS year's games? I can't think of anything.ShenlongBo

  • It's fun.
  • It's different.
  • It's a game anyone can play and enjoy.....from a someone who has never picked up a controller to a "hardcore" gamer.
  • It's a high quality title that is suitable for everyone and anyone....how many of the GOTY nominees this year can claim that?

What GotY nominee on the list isn't fun? How in the hell is Mario Galaxy any more different than ANY other GotY candidate (this is actually hilarious)? The only thing you've pointed out is that Mario Galaxy has mass appeal. If that's what it really takes to make a Game of the Year title, then the whole freakin' award is a joke.

What game do u think should have won?

Galaxy was the Number 2 rated game of all time on gamerankings... I dont understand why people are so surprised it won the GOTY. Everybody is entitled to their opnion, but it seems to smack more of bitter tears than anything.

The industry as a whole is doing it. On the bonus round they talk about the wii dominating, but that nobody cares and no matter what the wii will lose.

Whatever. That's like watching a race and then ignoring the winner so you can cagradulate the second place guy. Makes no sense.

goblaa

The industry as a whole is doing this because the Wii's success has pretty much much owned everybody all the way down to the third party developers that decided to back the big the high next gen production studios... and even the hardcore gaming population as well. Nintendo has owned them all... I love it :lol:
