Both GTAIV and MGS4 got high reviews... so, I don't seem to get your argument.
Somehow you are mistaken this with "defeat to the 360"... again, if this argument has anything OTHER than to talk about the games you listed and whether they actually deserve to be listed here... let me know now.
To say how DS has superior software just because it sold a bunch of hardware is absolutely wrong. I don't think anybody is here to dispute that.

They didn't both get high reviews. Grand Theft Auto IV got BETTER reviews. That was my point. If you're going to use Gamerankings as a measuring stick to judge quality then do note that Gamerankings says Advance Wars: Dual Strike is better than Uncharted.There is always going to be something Gamerankings averages that you will not agree with. So why are you using them as a reference point?
My second point about the 360 is that I originally told Bobo, from where you quoted me, that my next list would be the 360's. You stepped in so I'm talking to you as if you are continuing his argument. If you use Gamerankings as a measuring stick to judge 80% and up games, the PS3 will not stand up to the 360. I suppose what I should ask you is, do you believe the 360 has the best Holiday lineup? If you don't then why are you using Gamerankings to prove your point with, because all signs on Gamerakings point to 360 having the best lineup.
I didn't say the DS had superior software. You laughed at the list I put up, basically dismissing a lot of quality games. I pointed out that it's a bit ridiculous to laugh at the software of an 80 million selling platform and chalking it up to bad games when platforms that sell that much always have good software. Give me another 80 million selling platform that didn't have killer support. I'll give you a hint on where to start, try under the Sony category.

Using metacritic, which imo is more reliable than Gamerankings,
DS- 3 games 90+
PS1- 30 games 90+
PS2- 62 games 90+
GameBoy Advance- 14 games 90+
Noticing a pattern?

Yeah I'm noticing the pattern that Metacritic has only been polling data for four years and everything before that is incomplete and sketchy at best. Or did you not notice that magazine reviews, which were more common than internet reviews back then don't happen to be represented with most games from the GBA and PSOne.

The fact remains that the DS was released well into metacritic's lifespan and Mario Kart DS's metascore was based on 64 reviews. The PS2 was launched around metacritic's release date, and still has all of these AAA titles.
Just look at AAA games in the 7th Gen:
X360: 16 (I know 360 has the best games, but it's been out for an extra year)
PS3: 7
Wii: 7
DS: 3
PSP: 1
Therefore, of the consoles that are being discussed (PS3, X360 and DS) the DS has the worst lineup of games currently available.
Also, have some creativity. Resistance 1.5 AND MotorStorm 1.5? 
Halo clone springs to mind (don't worry, I don't think it is)
