Still ,its the same.Most of the 15 90+ games on the 360 are on the PS3 too ....just with a lower score because released some months later.For the user is the same ,and for the richness of the library is the same .....we can argue it has a better library because in gamerankings those equally good games have a 0.2 difference between them because released late on the PS3.
The old sports games are outdated ,and still count for a good 15+ games in the 80+ range for the 360.Yes ,it was an advantage back then ...when the PS3 wasnt even in the market.Right now ,they arent as you can buy the 2008 and 2009 versions for the PS3 the 2008 at discounted price too.
The Live games may be great ,not denying it.BUT ,and its a big BUT ,they are scored based on their price and limitations.A 90 for a Live arcade game isnt the same that for a full release.If Rez was released with a 69 price tag I assure you it wouldnt get so good an score.But the PSN games are many times 29-39 dollars and have up to 9GB of data(Siren for example).Its comparing apples and oranges,and the apples of the Live make for a massive bulk of the difference of the libraries in metacritic.
I think my points are perfectly valid.If we would take out the Live/PSN only games ,the old sports games ,GHII (useless if you have the superior GH3 with a lot more downloadable content) and some other little adjusts you would see a very different landscape.
ok just for you I will delete every game which was released on 360 and PS3, delete old games with a basically same sequel released on both consoles (sport games and GHII - not sequels in general) and every XBLA/PSN game
