Just as a comment on "shovelware" ...

Low budget software tends to follow systems that are popular enough (or platforms that people anticipate will be popular enough), and most systems that have been plagued by "shovelware" also tend to have the most high quality game releases. It was true of the Playstation,  PS2, the NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS; and (about) the only time it hasn't happened is with the Wii and HD consoles, but that was because higher quality developers treated the PC, PS3 and XBox 360 as a single platform (negating the need to adapt to the Wii's success).

Or to put it another way, if a publisher doesn't believe they can turn a profit off of their low budget licenced game cash in on your platform they tend not to believe that they can turn a profit off of their big budget high quality games.

I think in this case it's just people taking the huge disparity in lists as some kind of attack on Sony lol.  People, the NGP will have many more than 12 games rofl.  It's cool!
