Which platform has the best gamers?

The ongoing console wars has always led to fan boy debates on which console is the best of them all, Is it the Xbox 360, with a large back catalogue of games and arguably the best online service, the PS3 with arguably the best graphics and power than the other consoles, the Wii, with a focus on the casual gaming demographic or is the PC still the master race being the oldest and biggest format of all four. Well, I’ve constructed a tournament to find out.

There will be four teams representing each console, each with a team captain (which I will talk about later). The tournament will be recorded in a league table, 3 points for a win, 1 point for draw and zero for a loss. There shall be three games played on each console, with a game being played every weekend at an agreed time. I shall choose 1 game on each platform, and the other two will be decided by the respective teams. The games I have chosen are:

PC: Battlefield 2142, because of the high player count, the squad system adds a tactical feel and the commander position could be used by the team captain

Xbox 360: Halo 3, because of its user friendly atmosphere, a great multiplayer feature and ideal features for hosting the matches

PS3: Metal Gear Online, because it requires teamwork, is a big game for the PS3 and is quite good fun.

Wii: Super Smash Bros. Brawl: As it can be used to be a game where all four team captains can fight directly against each other.


The team captains will be chosen from the general public, but to be eligible, you must fill the criteria:

MUST have all four consoles, due to the importance of good communication
Will take part in every match
Can manage the team to your desire, from choosing players for teams to recruitment.

I would like to start by putting myself forward as candidate for team Xbox; any other candidates should email me at jack.gleeson@btinternet.com
Further rules will be announced depending on whether players sign up, any questions or suggestions, please list them here or email me at the above address. Thanks!

Xbox, ps3, wii,

what's the fourth console??

I don't want to sound like I don't like your idea, because I do. However, I think it would strum up more interest if you had the best team/gamer for each console instead. Surely not that many people have all the next gen systems, as well as all the games needed to take part. I would have made it 'Best on PS3', 'Best on Xbox 360' etc. Then to take part all you need is that specific console and the games that you will be playing on that console.

Good luck with it though, sounds like great fun, maybe I'm just bitter because I only have a 360. You should post this is GGC as well though, you will get a lot interest there. x

you dont have to have all the consoles (PC is the fourth by the way), you can have a mixture, for instance, if you had only an Xbox 360, you could still take part in the xbox matches,just not on other consoles. And what do you mean by GGC

Ah OK, sorry I misunderstood. GGC - General Games Chat. x

cheers, hope people respond well to it!

A PC IS NOT A CONSOLE

Sycasm is in fact the third-lowest form of wit, behind knock-knock jokes and memes used for marketing.

lol, by the way just to make sure everyone understood, this competition is for EVERYONE and for enjoyment. The only thing is that you need multiple consoles to take part in other matches other than your one. The team captains bit was only to help organisation.
