Wii won where it actually matters for Nintendo. They didn't win where it matters for me. Don't get me wrong, Wii had a stellar line up this year. But if sales is the only thing that matters to you, and you don't work for Nintendo, then something is up.

Both have great games...and Metacritic scores mean absolutley nothing to anyone. Why do you guys even care this much?

That's untrue. There are several members on this very site (I believe Carl is one of them, but he can correct me on this if he wants) who take Metacritic as being an absolute indicator of the quality of a library, and justification for the statement that the PS3 has the best games.

Though I'd also like to point out that according to this, the PSP beat out the DS

Which is hilarious

LOL is all I can say to those people. They really need to check their sources again. Metacritic is simply an indicator of what critics thought of a game. THAT'S IT. Is the game good or does it suck? Check metacritic. IT CAN'T be used to compare games. We can't say a game is the best of all time based on it's metascore. And we sure as shit can't say a console had a better year than the rest because of it.

If we were to take Metacritic seriousley, then Xbox 360 pretty much has this generation on lock in terms of games. We'd also have to accept that Wii has only 9 AAA games, four of which are ports of earlier games.
