I think one the main reasons why Demon's Souls will also take it is because it was so incredibly well received while coming from a development team known for mediocre offerings and was admitted by reviewers as being pretty much written off shortly after it was announced. Dragon Age: Origins on the other hand was anticipated to be a really good game from the get go to the point where it graced the cover of magazines such as GameInformer.

That alone has to go a long way with the voting. It caught many by surprised.

You have a point, Demon's Souls came outta left field while Dragon Age was actually somewhat dissapointing on consoles since AAA was pretty much expected.  So maybe that'll be enough to give Demon's Souls the edge.

Actually, with Demon's Souls reviews, I was expecting a AAA game and got it. The user reviews for Dragon Age have been freakin' fantastic from the community and most websites I've visited. I think right now, the general concensus is that the game is actually better than what the review average indicates....

So it's a double edged sword.

You saw that buggy mess from the first videos on saw a AAA game coming?  Because that's what we're talking about, Demon's Souls was written off until it actually released somewhere, Dragon Age was expected to be amazing from the getgo due to developer pedigree.
