Amazing.
Except there's not a thousand threads about it. We'll see where they land respectively in the NeoGAF GOTY thread.

PS4 and Xbox mop the floor with WiiU with their console exclusives. I'll give WiiU a good grade on their 1st parrty though but it absolutely gets trounced by PS4. I don't even know why these arbitrary lists exist and ommit that. I'm mainly going by the TC so far.
So we have completely exclusive and console exclusive and I will absolutely ommit multiplatform console stuff (for the sake of not padding a list) but the likes of an XB/PC exclusive like Ori are a notch on MSFT's belt much like Rocket League is on PS4.

I think it's pretty obvious that if you have a gaming PC, that's the best place to play. You have access to the best version of most games and a few great exclusives on top of that.
If you don't play on PC, I think PS4 is the next best thing if you're a gamer that loves a wide variety of genres. I put in as many hours in games like Axiom Verge, Galak-Z, Rocket League and N++ as in AAA releases. Then you have some Japanese stuff that isn't on other consoles like Tales of Zestiria, Disgaea 5 and some Warriors games. If you don't care for any of the games above I guess an XB1 or Wii U might suit you better.
I think that's the reason it's pretty much impossible to decide who has the best library. It really depends on what combination of platforms you own and if you like a wide variety of games. That's why you get comments like 'PS4 only had Bloodborne'.

Hands down PS4. I mean Disgaea 5 and Bloodborne alone are enough to carry the year.

OP missing Tearaway and Helldivers and Galak-Z and Rocket League and Axiom Verge and all kinds of shit for PS4.
Bloodborne > anything else anyway. Tearaway came close to my love for Bloodborne. Axiom Verge was the best 2D Metroid in a long time. Helldivers was co-op greatness. On and on.
A single system can't have my favorite SRPG, my favorite ARPG, my favorite sports title and my favorite shooter ( planetside ) and one of my favorite platformers and not come away with winning this little competition.. 2015 has been amazing

It's all subjective man. As a PC owner, not a single one of those games you mentioned interested me. Pillars wasn't my type of game at all.
This is why these topics always end up as silly discussions overall. Personally, I'd take my Wii u and 3ds over both of my other consoles and PC though I understand that others may have a completely different opinion. Why so many of you act like there is a definite answer to a question where the response will vary from person to person is beyond me.

Bloodborne, Until Dawn, One Piece Musou, and Zestiria. PS4 for me. I also have some supposed to be exellent games in my PS4's backlog.
For Wii U, I still need to play fatal frame and xenoblade X, but it has been underwhelming for me.

As any game within its release date. Not anymore and not nearly as much as the Bloodborne love. It gets tiring. It makes me want to hate it just because. All this gushing and it's not even guaranteed to be in GAF Top 5 this year
(Will probably end up in 4th position)

Been loving 3ds. So many fun games.
Just got into Monster Hunter after years of sleeping on it. Damn, it's an amazing game.
My thoughts exactly. PC had some good exclusives but had I to chose between exclusives alone PS4 beats it pretty handedly.

Wii U loses and will continue to do so on the basis that it has terrible 3rd party support. I didn't have an X1, so I can't judge. To me it was a pretty good year this year compared to solid/ok last year. Upcoming year looks much better. Can we stop counting remasters?

I think the xbox one had the most consistently solid line up of exclusives, but to be honest I probably am somewhat biased. That being said, I love the souls games, and I really really would like to play blood borne as it looks excellent. Hopefully I can pick up a ps4 soon because there are auite a few exclusives up coming that I want to play. And i really, really want to play under tale. To the point that its pushing me to just buy a gaming lap top at some point, as the game willl most likely never hit consoles.

PC and PS4 both have Rocket League.
PS4 has Bloodborne.
PS4 had the best library in 2015, followed closely by PC.

PC easily, but I think all three main console platforms had some good exclusives as well. Despite owning all of these platforms, I don't like exclusives. But then if everything was available on PC, I wouldn't have any need to buy the other platforms in the first place so exclusives remain important for Sony/MS/Nintendo and I think all three delivered reasonably well this year.
I agree. The XB1 had the most solid line up this year, some genuinely great exclusives and then all the multiplatform stuff too. WiiU has been fairly solid, but not spectacular. PS4 has barely had anything memorable for me (I struggled to get into Bloodborne), despite me buying most my multiplatform games for it.

The one with Splatoon and Witcher 3 on it.

Eh, eventually it's always subjective of course, but if we're being real...it's PC. Regardless of which specific games someone likes or dislikes, pure numbers wise it has more exclusive games than any of the consoles, and the best versions of all the multiplatform stuff. So overall it's bound to have the 'best' library for the largest amount of people.

Plenty of people bang on about Splatoon like it's the freshest thing in forever.
Probably not as much as Bloodborne though, I'll give you that!
It's cool with me that people are passionate about whatever game they are into, but you should never let the prevailing opinion determine your attitude/approach (not saying you do, just that's it's a common trap). I've felt an aversion to games before because they are praised too much, and sometimes I've ended up feeling sheepish when I finally play the game and find out I love it. Other times I've bought into the hype and walked away feeling underwhelmed. True objectivity is hard I guess.
I can't comment on the Wii U - I've never liked Nintendo ...
But in terms of PS4 vs XB1 for me Microsoft won.
Whilst Sony had the best game in Bloodborne - the XB1 for me had the best lineup..
Ori and the Blind Forest (which in many ways for me was better than Bloodborne actually)
Gears Of War
Forza 6
Halo 5 (which was a massive disappointment - but multiplayer is good)
Tomb Raider
Rare Replay

WiiU, when you consider just exclusives.
But i played multiplats on PS4 the most.
But i played multiplats on PS4 the most.
By what I've played: PC > XBONE > WIIU > PS4.
Until dawn is the only game I bought on PS4, I don't like souls games and think they are kind of bad.
Wii U was mainly Mario Maker for games this year. I preferred it to Until Dawn. I only just got a Wii U so I was playing some other games on it not from this year.
XBONE I bought a handful of games, mainly because they were pretty well priced. Halo has solid multiplayer and Forza was a solid entry in the franchise so that probably got it ahead of PS4 and Wii U for me.
PC is where I play all multiplat games and Starcraft along with some random indie games easily puts it in front.

2015 was another mediocre year for first party offerings. With a slew of great multiplatform games stealing the show, Wii U comes in last by default. I played Witcher 3 on PC and everything else on PS4.
On PC I really enjoyed Grey Goo and the Unreal alpha but like so many PC exclusives, the community just never took off for either and they both suffer for it. Magic Duels was great and shows a lot of promise, counted as an exclusive because of how unplayable it is elsewhere. Path of Exile and Dota continued getting strong support.
PS4 did a better job filling out the year for my tastes, between Dragon Quest, The Order, and the indies that came between. As the lead platform with the biggest communities for the multiplatform standouts, PS4 did it for me.

Probably! But it's difficult when it's all over your face and the vocal minority are pretenting the other games just don't compare.
Splatoon is my GOTY but I'm not going to pretend that after playing it, the other games are worthless.
I'm the same way. if a game (or movie or tv show, etc.) gets a ridiculous amount of praise and I wasn't there at the beginning to experience it without expectations I make myself wait a bit before diving in.
For me Xbx 1 only has Rise of thw Tomb Raider.
The rest are just remakes and sequels.
I don't even bother getting multi platform gmaes on xbx 1 due to inferior framerate/resolution.
PS4 and PC have been a beast.
The Witcher 3 on PC is fantastic.
Fallout 4.
Overall pretty below average year in my opinion.
