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.

 

You keep saying that, but it's blatantly false. The truth is there isn't a single game that fits that description. You listed two "examples" in your earlier post, but both games scored mid-80s on both systems. There is only one game where you could even try to make that argument: The Orange Box. However, it didn't score lower on the PS3 because it was released later; it scored lower because reviewers thought it was an inferior version. (I realize some owners of the PS3 version think the reviewers are wrong about that, but that's not the issue.) There are some games released later on PS3 that scored a bit lower, but none of them scored 90+ on the 360.

That said, most of your other points have some merit. Some of the high-rated 360 games have multiplatform sequels, which reduces the value of the earlier versions. Some are XBLA games, which are a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. Then there's the big one, which you didn't mention: many are console exclusives - also available on the PC - and not true exclusives. That last one is important for anyone who plays games on a high-end PC, but doesn't matter much to the majority of gamers.

If you go through the Metacritic/GameRankings lists and manually remove multiplatform games, downloadable games, and games with multiplatform sequels, you'll find that 360 still has a higher-rated list of console exclusives. If you then remove PC ports, the list of true exclusives is pretty comparable between the two.
