Current Gen war who's the winner

[Squall7]

yup, would serve them right.
could u guys PLEASE comment on my theory
i would like more stuff to be added on the list so the GC would break the tie against Ps2

I think one of the problems with the score system is that it treats every aspect as equal. For example, the Xbox had only a minor number more sales than the Gamecube (and is even disputed by some). But then PS2 would get the same amount of points in the durability bit, despite being MUCH lower than than the differece between Xbox sales and Gamecube sales.

Maybe if you awarded points out of a hundred for each one doing the job in a specific area.
e.g. Durability -
GC: 98%
Xbox: 90%
PS2: 20%

Likewise, I think in the popularity bit, you should do the different regions seperately, as Xbox pretty much got smashed in Japan, while the Gamecube and PS2 were pretty much on par with each other. Likwise, I don't think Xbox did as well in the UK as Gamecube (I could be wrong though, so for this you may look at actual figures). Also, I'm not sure what you mean by the Franchise sales. And lets not forget some of the reasoning behind the "franchises", what with Nintendo actually producing more original games (as in non-sequels etc), with Pikmin, Eternal Darkness, Super Monkey Ball and Warioware. And WITH the sequelisations going on, I think Nintendo has a stronger line up than you give it credit for. Also, you should take into account the amount of ports - and how readily available they are on each console.

Obviously, this is written by a Nintendo Fan's perspective, but I hope I've given you ideas into improving the scores and general fairness.

most cetainly, feel free to copy my theory and put your touches into it.
For the regioin issue, it is based arounf english speaking countries as i had eplained earlier. Mainly in the USA ans Australia, cause thats were i live.
And originality/innovation, nintendo always wins
an updated version coming soon!

ha ha very funny. There is noo way microsoft or sony would team up with Nintendo. Too much pride

If they all teamed up it would be bad for consumers cause there would be a monopoly. There would be no incentive to create something new or to do something better than the last. Competition is good cause then we get dynamic ideas and technology advances faster!

municiple darwinism

[wolf231]

I see your point m7ticalm, but it would be good as the final console just to have them all together to make a really good one.

[Diomedes]

but what about municiple darwinism?
without it we would be stuck in this generation forever, and no Wii!!

[Diomedes]

Sorry for all the lateness, my bad. There will be a newer version coming without a nintendo fans perspective.

Are there any of you Sony or Microsoft fans out there that could help me on this issue? I cant do it myself.
