We're not exactly how much impact this will have the next time a civilized conversation with a gaming buddy sinks into the depths of fanboy warfare, but here it goes: According to a recent survey conducted by Game Developer Research, as reported by IGN, there are more developers working on Xbox 360 projects than there are on the Playstation 3 or Wii. Specifically, 78% of those surveyed were working on 360 projects, 58% were working on PS3, and 42% were working on Wii. As the numbers imply (notice they don't add up to 100%), they include both cross-platform games and developers that happen to be working on more than one console. This also means that the 360 doesn't necessarily have the most games in development. Still, it has the most individual developers of any console.Now just find some way to spin that into a catchy slogan and you've got some new fanboy ammunition (fanmunition?) to go with your new (toy) fanboy gun.

At the end its gonna always boil down to the quality of the games, so if i got 25 dudes selling chocolate on the corner and only making me 1000 bucks a week but i got the 5 dudes in the bodega selling that purple and pulling in 1500 a week its cuz hes got quality stuff, thats what its gonna boil own to for these guys.
Ultimately we as the consumer win because we get to have the choice of all these different products.

Your comment made me a chuckle. A valid point though.

Thats what is so funny about this generation of consoles to me. Even more so since the 360 has so much Japanese developer support.

Only the Xbox 360 isn't selling well in Japan.
What a twist.

*clears throat* Too Human *clears throat*
Sorry about that. I'm developing a bit of a cough.
Let's see how well they score Fable 2. I would laugh so hard if it too got a 6.75 and all you will really be left with to play on your 360 this fall is GeoW 1.5.

What's your point? The second opinion on Too Human is a 7.. I guess we should all go buy Haze now.

Have you ever tried playing games instead of saying they are bad because somebody applied a low number on a scale to it?

What happens if LBP is a flop? I've been hearing from people that it's kinda stupid.
The 360 has an ample amount of games coming out this holiday.. While.. I can only think of 2 for the PS3. Resistance 2 and LBP.

Maybe if you try and take that Sony's dick out of your mouth for once, it MIGHT actually help. Worth a shot right?

what's with all this throat clearing you're doing lately?
got something long, hard and Sony shoved down there?

Hell.. the first Fable has an average of an 85 on Metacritic, and it was considered a disappointment. Imagine if Fable 2 isn't.

This numbers do not include the community created games like the ones that are/will be possible with XNA. Nintendo and Sony need to come up with competitor to XNA to remain viable.
