| Bodhesatva said: 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). |
Even if we can't determine objectively which is better, the fact that they are so closely compared says something, imo. In the end, both offer very compelling first party line ups, and the only differences are subject.
This is why I always buy both Sony and Nintendo consoles. :P
