Hirai: Rivals can’t compete with PS3’s exclusives

[Bodhesatva]

I absolutely agree with you, MakingMusic, but I just don't know what other metric to use. Normally I might recommend critical acclaim, but I personally have much less faith in games reviews than I do reviews for other mediums, such as film or literature.

Of course, Nintendo has also had a higher metacritic rating every year since metacritic started keeping track, so the point should be moot anyway (although I strongly suspect that streak will be broken this year thanks to Nintendo's focus on casual fare).
