You can't objectively say that Nintendo's first party offerings are any better than Sony's this gen.

EDIT: Metacritic is a commonly used objective measure.

Number of first/second party developed (as in, first party studio or somebody with a very close relation, like Resistance or MP)

PS3: 12

Wii: 5

So, using Metacritic, Sony's first party PS3 efforts are better than Nintendo's first party Wii efforts.

I wasn't saying that Nintendo made better games than them. I was saying that Microsoft and Sony would make better games products if their business relied on them received well by people and also Nintendo would make better products because they would have real competition for a change.

Errr......Microsoft and Sony's games are received well by people, what are you talking about?


  O'rly?  is that why only one 360 game has sold over 10 million, and no PS3 game has?

Oh, I see, so being received well, to you, is based on sales? MMMkay.....

consumers vote with their pocketbooks

Doesn't change the fact that 360 and PS3 games still sell well, though that's irrelevant, and are received well.

Interesting though, it's no surprise that you would defend such a misinformed OP.

Not as well received as Wii games

Actually the OP isn't misinformed, he just didn't know how to put it properly, the problem with MS and Sony as I already pointed out, is that their focus isn't gaming, they have no interest in seeing gaming prosper and grow, as long as they are able to achieve their other goals, Sony wants to create a convergence box that basically is the center of you daily life, and replaces your computer, while MS wants to prevent Sony from doing so.  Nintendo is the only company actually focused on gaming and therefore have an interest in seeing gaming grow and prosper as an entertainment media.  This is why Sony and MS could never disrupt the market like Nintendo has, they are technology and computer companies, they don't think in terms of games first, the PS3 was designed as a blu-ray Trojan horse first not a games machine, when Nintendo designs its consoles it designs around what it wants the games to be.
