edit: Addressing the 2nd only, the first is covered as best as quality can be objectively covered in the OP itself |
How exactly did you get those numbers because I know VGchartz undertracks alot of ps3 software, and 360 had a year head start so yea MS is just full of bs
Yes, you can expect the CFO to say nothing different, but i have a feeling that, say, Nintendo would never say "our online is superior to our competitors," when asked a question about their online play.
I agree with Doobie-wop on this one. He could have given a positive answer that doesn't sound like an outright lie

Well of course MS is going to say that about their own games...
@ Mr Khan
The only thing that could possibly considered a lie in what he said is that they outsell all the other 1st parties. Ninty has that one in the bag.
Quality is entirely subjective. I've had more fun with the 360's 1st party than any other and I own all 3 consoles. But there's going to be many who disagree with me. People are, as always, overreacting. The thing is people can run around with all these "list wars" all they want but that doesn't neccessarily mean anything. Like to me I'll take Halo alone over 10 PS3 or Nintendo titles, but that just cause its my favoirte franchise.
Basically its gonna be different to every person.

That guy has been banned over 20 times from Gametrailers so dont bother arguing with him.

Exactly.
quality is of course subjective, but he can't be serious sales wise, can he?

Yes, but "our online is superior to our competitors- Nintendo" is a subjective value statement, but would still be considered a disingenuous comment on its face
You could pare that down to subjectivity with a few caveats, or even a few word tweaks, but as it stands, no. Subjective statements can be wrong

Alan Wake and Crackdown were developed by MS? There you go I suppose.
