While many gaming websites bring out polls that nowadays show that Wii is on top (many polls allow multiple votes), a new poll from Electronic Arts France asked the question (translated) "Which console of news-generation attracts you more?" The following were the results:
Playstation 3 - 59%
Xbox 360 - 22%
Wii - 19%
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

It doesn't say how many people voted. I could tell it was a low number, though, when I saw that the figures had changed so much already:
(Never rely on Google-translation for news)
Quelle console de nouvelle-génération vous attire le plus ?
(Which new-generation console attracts you the most?)
Xbox 360
19%
PlayStation®3
48%
Nintendo Wii
33%
to #1: your poll is not representative, lol 60 ppl !!! there are thousonds of such polls, every saying something different. but i think its true that most ppl are favourating the ps3.
Who really cares what France hast to say?
all polls are generally crap. Like ones in tech magazines or tech sites are biased to the high spending side of society. Therefore they're inclined to buy expensive stuff.
This one's just 60 people in France. I could hold a better poll than that.
