Very interesting. Only one problem though. Its IGN.....
Metacritic have it like this
2008 Games scoring over 80%
PS3 = 43 games

360 = 43 games

And how many games were released for every console in 2008?
PS3 = 164 games

360 = 228 games
http://apps.metacritic.com/search/process?ty=3&ts=&tfs=game_all&sb=0&game_platform=xbox360&release_date_s=01%2F01%2F2008&release_date_e=12%2F18%2F2008&metascore_s=&metascore_e=&x=43&y=7
Wii = 287 games

So as you can see the 360 and PS3 had the same amount of games with scores above 80% this year.
But the killer blow to this argument?
If you drop to games of a score above 70% you get
360 = 94 games
PS3 = 80 games
Proving the IGN article shows how awful their reviews are score wise.
