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.

Yet Another "Year of the PS3" Thread
"GT is unpredictable...they didn't even nominate MGS4 for best story yet they say the PS3 had the best software lineup O_o"Yeah, their weird.
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?

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.

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).
