This thread should not be opinion based..

I don't mean to pick on you but this is a really stupid statement.  Of course it should be opinion based, that's exactly what Gilgamesh is asking for.  Without opinion we would all just be playing Metascores and GTA IV is the best game this gen.

I personally, generally have a preference for Nintendo first party games above all others as a feel they tend to have a certainly intangible quality that many other developers can't achieve, or at least achieve as often.  However I am a gamer first and foremost and enjoy top quality games from any developer, Sony included, and their best games are in the same league as Nintendo's.

When people have never even looked at sony's first party achievements, it makes them look incredibly biased, and that includes every single poster in this thread.

So how should this thread be run then?  Sit people down and force them to play Sony games and then force them to give an 'honest' assessment of the quality of the games.  The opinions might be ill-informed but the purpose of this thread is to get people's opinions.

Furthermore you don't know that these people have never tried Sony games and if these people have never played Sony games that is still a failing on Sony's part, either in marketing or in making games that appeal to these people.   Similarly if Nintendo's 'kiddy-centric' design philosophy or Microsoft's FPS-centric ethos turn you off or prevent you from enjoying their games, that's their fault. Making high quality games is only part of the equation.
