downplaying another console's lineup by calling the games overhyped seems like kind a shitty thing to do, but if you want to go that route it can go against the 360 as well.
I remember quite a few people predicting ME2 type Meta for Halo Reach and now it sits at 91: overhyped (while I'm on the subject I dinstintly remember you claming Halo was in a totally different league from Killzone 2 based on Meta, so I find it hilarious that Reach has the same meta as KZ2)
Alan Wake was another contendor for 9 's with many people simply assuming it would beat out Heavy Rain and it didn't: overhyped
Fable 3 again a game where people were thinking Fable would finally get in the 9's and instead it's at 8.0
So if we're just going to discount lineups based on what we deem as overhyped games, maybe the 360 didn't have the banner 2010 people like to think.

Predicting metascores /= overhyping. I was wrong to compare games quality to meta previously, but still doesn't change fact Halo IS leagues ahead of Killzone, I'm not expecting you to agree though Tor.
From what I can remember, Halo was overhyped here, but everything else not so much.
I wasn't discounting PS3's lineup, stop making things up, I said 360 SW > PS3. and that's IMO obviously.

if predicting a game to be better than it was isn't overhyping then you are just defining it as your general feeling of how excited people were, which is a completely arbitrary and BS scale that can never be proven or disproven and therefore has no purpose in a reasonable argument.
I think in general meta is a good indicator of a game's quality, but I can't agree with your argument that a few points difference makes a game in a different league.

That isn't my argument, and that's not why Halo is in a different league, the franchise speaks for itself (Halo that is)
I'm not debating the games quality, I'm sure they're all very good games, but they were overhyped, meaning they'd never achieve what the people here would have you believe (and all over the net) like I said, apart from Reach, I don't see any other 360 games being the same, perhaps Alan Wake in some respects.

FM3 were way overhyped by the publisher... saying they never bullshot (and admited they did later) and that they would be muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than any GT would ever be... did they live to the hype? just in the eyes of people who just see what they want...
