Although many thought it had a weak year, i'm going with Wii U.

Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Devil's Third
Super Mario Maker
Yoshi's Wooly World
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
Splatoon

The upcoming Fast Racing Neo will no doubt be excellent and we even had Mother 1 hit virtual console in addition to some great Smash and Mario Kart 8 DLC. Sure there were some...not do great titles like Animal Crossing amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash but I feel the Wii U not only had some fantastic titles with mass appeal but also some gems like Devil's Third.

Multiplatform wise we've had some pretty great games too like
The Witcher 3
Fallout 4
Batman Arkham Knight
Star Wars Battlefront
Metal Gear Solid V
Resident Evil: Revelations 2

Xbox One got
Ori and the Blind Forest
Rare Replay
Halo 5
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Forza Motorsport 6

PS4 got
Bloodborne
The Order 1886
Until Dawn
Disgaea 5
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Dragon Quest Heroes
Tearaway Unfolded

When you factor in multiplatform games all systems had a great year but i'm personally sticking with Wii U, had so much fun with it this year! I would then choose Xbox One solely for Ori and the Blind Forest.

What about you guys, which console gave you the most enjoyment in 2015?

I've only listed the games i've played so please correct me if I missed some great ones.

Wii U has been the GOAT this year with it's new releases, despite some lackluster titles. Splatoon and Mario Maker alone have kept me entertained for countless hours. Can't wait to see what Nintendo cooks up within the next few years!

I played Splatoon and Mario Maker more than any other games this year, so I'm going with Wii U. I did enjoy replaying the Uncharted Collection as well, but those aren't new games.

I make no judgements on the other lineups, as I haven't played them. But for me Ori, Tomb Raider Halo and Rare Replay have made this year fantastic and so much fun.

Especially Ori and the Blind Forest. Once in a lifetime style game. My game of the year next to Tomb Raider

Counting only exclusive games, either Wii U or PS4. Really it's just between Xenoblade X and Bloodborne. BB was a bit disappointing, so probably Wii U.

Terrible year. Glad I sold my PS4 when I could still get some actual money for it.

e: or maybe PC, I've been doing all my gaming on it so I can't actually recall which games have been exclusive and which haven't

I'm not sure what your criteria are, but off the top of my head, you're missing

Multi:

- Evolve
- Life Is Strange
- Assassin's Creed Syndicate
- Destiny: The Taken King
- Mortal Kombat X
- Battlefield Hardline
- Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
- Project CARS
- Mad Max
- CoD: Black Ops 3

Wii U:

- Mario Party 10

PS4:

-Tearaway Unfolded

XBO:

-Forza Motorsport 6


Just to name a few (I'm not going to bother with remasters and sports games, because there are far too many). In terms of exclusives, I still think that Wii U had the best lineup, but in terms of pure numbers, I have to go with PC, which got pretty much all the multiplats, as well as eg Pillars of Eternity and Legacy of the Void.

Wii U or PC by a good long margin. PS4 and Xbox One had too few exclusives making most of their library not count. Plus PC had Undertale on top of all of those so its definitely pretty up there. Wii U had so many top tier exclusives this year that its a guaranteed contender for this.

PS4 takes another W. PC is exempt for being too good/not a console.

PC definitely tearing it up.

Nintendo's more or less AWOL. I mean, come on, Devil's Third is on your list, OP. PS4 just kinda sitting dead in the water, with nothing interesting out or coming out. Xbox is really sluggish. They got the best action game of the generation so far with Rise of the Tomb Raider, but beyond that, nothing they released was the best out of anything they've done. Forza 6 is the second mainline Forza outclassed by Forza 4, for instance. Gears of War Ultimate is a cool idea but they only appear to have changed the graphics rather than tweaking the mechanics to be more in line with Gears of War 2 or 3 like they should. Halo 5's campaign was a bitter disappointment.

arbitrarily excluding the best platform is dumb.

PS4 got Bloodborne. So PS4 it is.

At first this seems like a lazy reply. But Bloodborne is probably better than any game in the last 10 years so yeah... Splatoon was amazing too though.

MS tried really hard but they still failed to sell the system to me this year based on exclusives. I'll be there day 1 when Scalebound is out.

3DS .

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is one of the greatest action games ever made and a big step forward for the series in every way.

The most fun I had on PS4 this year was Revelations 2. Bloodborne was such a disappointment after DeS and DaS. Fallout 4 is just yuck as an RPG.

Splatoon and Yoshi were great on the WiiU, but it was no spectacular year by any means.
