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!

How can you represent 1 console when you must own all 3 (and PC) to take part?

Wow is this turning into a deul to the death?

360s at 40 paces?

This calls for some kind of patented and poorly thought out GRcade system!

We vote for console captains, then award points for the performance of their chosen teams of players. The only rule is that any given player can't be on more than one console team.

In the long run, the entire thing basically becomes the basis for GRcade multiplayer shenanigans, and everyone wins.

and you dont have to own all the consoles to take part, you just have to have all the consoles to be captain, for instance someone only owned a PS3, then he/she could still take part, but only play on the PS3 matches

Won't I be biased though by owning all 4 and a DS?

Yes. You're banned from multiplayer for life, for not harbouring a console bias.

Infact, you're banned from life for insufficient hate and bigotry.

You can only answer this if you're looking at review score averages, everyone has different opinions on what games they like, for instance, if you like FPS, maybe the PC is the best platform.

In my opinion, the 360 has the best games, followed by the Wii then PS3. I'm not even including the PC because I don't know much about PC games.

well not really, you may end up in more matches, but at least it gives other people the chance to play
