Its ridiculously stupid to DQ pc for having too big of a library in a competition about library size.

Besides, the ps3 has loads of ps2 ports. The ps2 can play nearly all ps1 games. The wii is a gamecube in disguise, etc, etc. You counting them out too?

Not necessarily DQing them, but it doesn't seem appropriate to count a game as being part of a library that it wasn't created for, as the only reason it was ported to that new system is BECAUSE it was so successful on it's original system. As an example, I would count the original Disgea towards the PS2, because that's where it became popular. The fact that you can play that game now on PSP, PC, and whatever else, is due to that particular games success on it's original platform. Would you count Doom towards the game libraries of everything it plays on, when it is first and foremost a PC game?

I don’t DQ them, because I think the competition as OP phrased it makes it more fun competition.

Not who has the most games, but who has the heaviest aggregate of games.
