"Which Console is better" An Empirical answer.

[The_ModeRazor]

Do we really have to use Metacritic? I'm a PS3 fanboy and it gave Killzone 2 91, 91! That makes it BETTER than Mass Effect and AS GOOD as Dragon Age: Origins.

As for trying a empirical solution to this problem, it's nigh on impossible given the subjection we each have to consoles. like I said, I'm a PS3 fanboy and anyone says against results in my ship's tactical laser (set on Hyperdeath?) to cut their internet connection.

Which is clearly ridiculous, as green is a superior colour in every way.

But Purple>All.

Purple rules!

I own a Ps3, I WUV my ps3. But I also hate most of the exclusives(Well, 2009s ones)
Also, purple is indeed epic. Hence this.

I never understood why he got a fucking purple lightsaber! There is only meant to be blue, green and red, which all have their defining properties! Purple just doesnt work!! arrrrgh!

It was explained why he got a Purple one. But I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

Cuz he's just that good.
But I doubt he could possibly comprehend my Darksaber.
Oh yeah, it's fuckign black, *****!
Purple rulz tho

OK... OT: the best console is obviously a bicycle.
It is compatible with most upgrades, convenient and a lot of fun.

This is way too much work for something that really shouldn't need any more attention. Besides, you need a PC to read, check and post these results anyway. So, let's cut out the middle man as say that the PC is the bestest!.

I never understood why he got a fucking purple lightsaber! There is only meant to be blue, green and red, which all have their defining properties! Purple just doesnt work!! arrrrgh!

I think he actually asked for it, he willingly requested from G.Lucas a purple lightsaber because he dares to be different.

Gods damn it man!. Now that song is stuck in my head!.

i didnt even read your post and i can tell you right now YOU ARE WRONG!!

there is no better console, no matter how many people ***** about it they all have their prefered console or the console their parents bought or simply like me realize that no console is better than the other because it falls back into TASTE

and i might love the sweet flavor of oysters but you might hate them and probably love the taste of smoked chicken, that doesnt meand chicken is better than Oysters, it just means WE LIKE DIFERENT THINGS LIKE THE 2 DIFERENT INDIVIDUALS THAT WE ARE

and metascore critics are wrong too, numbers can not be applied to a complex individual opinion.

 

[RanD00M]

Purple>All.

But the line up is Gray<White<Green<Blue<Purple<Orange.So the correct term would be Orange>All.

 

[HentMas]

Sorry. Doesn't work.
You're looking for an empirical answer to a subjective question.
It's like trying to find an empirical answer to whether blue is better than green.

Which is clearly ridiculous, as green is a superior colour in every way.

But Purple>All.

What is AAA?

Since people will never really agree on this, the entire question is moot.

yeah! the AAA is the wrestling leage here in Mexico... hahaha

Here's some science: the Wii has sold as many units as the 360 and PS3 combined. The Nintendo DS has sold two times more than the Wii.

doesnt make either of them good. they are just gimmicky.

o_0*breaks glass against own face*

I beg to differ (without the begging part) Blue> all, specifically the dark blue the sky goes when it's nearly but not quite night.

And also as it's been said before the question is subjective.

 

[Cherry Cola]

This is stupid. How can a different point in Metacritic be one score? Our opinions doesn't matter, only Metacritic's? You CAN'T calculate which console is best, because it is all a matter of opinions. God I hate it when people try to sound smart and then when people try to contradict them they point them out as fanboys...

 

[Markness]

Do we really have to use Metacritic? I'm a PS3 fanboy and it gave Killzone 2 91, 91! That makes it BETTER than Mass Effect and AS GOOD as Dragon Age: Origins.

Review scores are based against what is available for playing on that console at that time. Which is the reason old games have the same metacritic scores as newer ones and why DS games that are the kind that are for free on pc get higher scores than worthwhile games on pc.

 

[Casual Shinji]

This is the best console.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

No no no. Sales mean nothing to the quality of the game. Wii sports sold 50 million copies. Does that mean it's the best game ever?
Metacritic scores can't decide it either. Someone could love games rated pretty low and hate high rated games, so those people are excluded thus making it unreliable.

Fanboys will always argue, just take comfort in the fact that they desperately trying to convince you their console is the best just means they're insecure or unhappy of their purchase which can't be undone.

I'm happy with my wii. There's nothing I want to play on PS3 or 360 except Final Fantasy 13 but I'm not going into $300 worth of debt to play one game.

This.
I like my wii.
There are a lot of good games for it.
But the only reason i dont have a 360 or Ps3 is....im cheap.

 

[Ancientgamer]

You can objectivally say that one console is better than the other, but if you want to do this right subjectivity must be factored into the equation.


For instance, I'd say the variable of subjective fluctuation gives at least a %30-40 margin of error. Obviously this makes the formula a bit useless, but it still serves to illustrate how useless the console wars are.

 

[Kilo24]

I also have an empirical way to analyze how great a console is. A good console should have a long name, because it shows that the company cared to describe it at length. Therefore, the system with the longest name is the best system out.

It's not a very *good* ranking system, but it's empirical, so that's scientific and indisputable, right?

[/sarcasm]

In general, what a person considers to be the best system is going to be the system with the largest amount of their favourite games on it, Metacritic and popularity be damned.

Ok here's the results:

Spoiler: TOP SECRET

PS2 WINS BY LARGE MARGIN

[MrGseff]

I like my 360, think I wasted my money on the Wii, and haven't tried the PS3 so can't comment.

I'm leaving it at that.

I think you just read my mind, i love my xbox, i think my wii was wasted money and have never played ps3 so me sayin its shit would be pretty much invalid

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

That's bull. Sorry, but it is. I acknowledge that you worked on this, but the only way to determine which console is better is by opinion. It also depends on the functionalities of the console, and the needs of the consumer. You could hold a poll to determine the favourite, but aside from that, there's no real way of telling.

 

[Nugma]

PS3 has the best hardware and is thus the best console. The "other" kind of better can not be determined and the subject should be forgotten forever.
Aight?
