I can't believe that people will still compare LBP to Mario. LBP is a pretty good game for what it is, but Mario is just a whole other level. Mario is infinitely better. Only Sony fanboys will dispute that.

Or just people who's opinion may, perhaps, differ from yours.

Well generally it is strong sony fans who say it from what I have noticed. The same group that might label Metal Gear Solid 4 as the best ever. What he said isn't necessarily incorrect, and what you said isn't either.

Well I think you missed his point.  He's not trying to say LBP is better or that Mario is better.  Essentially saying "different strokes for different folks".  I mean sure there are somethings wew can say that are definite in things like this but for the most part people are going to have subjective views on quality and comparisons.  Why not just let them have it?  I personally think Mario is one of the best platformers ever if not the best and that LBP platforming mechanics don't stand up to it but it does have other interesting and amazing features.  Instead of saying one is better than the other or making bold statements that we would need more analytical thought and discussion to determine, why not agree to disagree and accept them as different but both good gaming experiences.  I think that's what he was trying to say in less wordy fashion.

But I do agree with what you are saying that there are people who can be generalized to saying certain things and you can deduce it down to a science but that's exactly what CGI is talking against as well.
