Problem is that Sony does a terrible job at worldwide simultaneous releases which would make this hard. On that side Microsoft does a much better job. Instead of tracking first to platinum, or who has the most platinum ( which can be seen easilly in the ranking), why not track who has the plat for every game ? ( except maybe for those where too many have it as it would mean that game is too easy to get a plat for). I know personally I think people with platinum for wipeout, resistance 2, GTA4 deserves some special recognition... And to make it easier we could announce when we get one on this forum so that Arcturus only has to double check it before posting the ranking.

As good as that Idea sounds it's a lot of work, not only that the difficulty of platinums depends solely on the person deciding. In addition there is no way to see which platinums a person has easily. You'd have to go into their indivdual trophy screen and get the information from there. Sure you can easily see who has the most plats from the rankings but there are 2 people in the top ten overall that would not be in the top ten platinums.
Adding top ten platinums also rewards people like Rukusa and Hano who have completed 5 games totally but are stuck at 3 and 4 respectively. While HideoK and getrdone seem to be completeing game 100% regularly others in the top ten are sitting at one or 2 plats. Not to down play their acheivements but running through as many games as possible and just picking up bronze, silver and golds is certainly not as hard as getting every trophy in the every game you play regardless of difficulty of getting that trophy.
It's good to keep the overall ranking system the way it is because it's still an accomplishment to get the most points overall, however, we need to reward people for going above and beyond just snagging as many easy trophies as possible.
