    This one is about 2008, though. I found the existence of GameTrailers' system wars-provoking category interesting enough, but I can't say I expected the winner. Please try to keep it civil if your opinion differs.

    I think they are putting a mask on. They've been called out for being biased towards X360 here and there and now they are trying to offset that perception by giving the PlayStation 3 the award. Plus X360 dominated 06' and 07', if it won it again, then they would look extremely biased.

    Remember their muck up on their graphics comparison on Grid?

    Why is it so hard to believe that they legitimately thought the PS3's lineup was better? Somehow I doubt it was to counter rumors of bias. All publications get hammered with accusations of bias, but giving into that is irresponsible and unprofessional. I think it'd be hard to make an argument against the Xbox 360 in 2006, and even in 2007 it had more standout titles than the PS3 or Wii. One detriment to the Xbox 360 was that GT really didn't care for Banjo. Even if you don't agree that PS3's lineup this year was better, there were enough quality titles to make it hard to deny that personal tastes aside it's at least a worthy rival.

    Maybe they're counting the add-ons, seeing as they counted Lich King. They also made the mistake of saying No More Heroes was released in the latter half of the year.

    LPB and MGS4 vs Fable 2, GOW2, Left 4 Dead, on pure big-name titles alone, I would go for Xbox. If GTA IV DLC had come out in 08, this year would be the 360's year(commerically).

    They are just saying PS3 is up and coming to sell them, they do the same with every console, I wouldn't trust Gametrailers too much, their reviews are very... weird.

    It seems to me like it is a tough call, and certainly not as easy a decision as they claim it was.
