"We don't need no stinking western 3rd party games, we've got the best 1st party games out there!"

It might be the Nintedo fans belief, but there's no evidence to support it.
Sony's made 14 games with a 9 or better aggregate review score on Metacritic this gen, Microsoft's made 11, and Nintendo's made 7.


It's all subjective, but if your using metacritic, surely I could just counter by using the IMO superior gamerankings (Uncharted 2 and LBP are the only 7th gen Sony 1st or 2nd party game on the first page of their all time best, compared to more from Nintendo) or perhaps Famitsu (PS3, PSP and PSV have had no 1st party perfect scores, but Wii, DS and 3DS have 3, 2 and 1 respectively).

But anyway, it's all subjective.


If you use Gamerankings, that's still 13 PS3 games made by ony with aggregate review scores of 9.0 or higher versus 8 made by Nintendo for Wii.

Since when does exluding the systems one wants to exclude make for a fair comparison?  Count DS 3ds and Wii and then you can have a good comparison  but dont forget PSP and PSV.    The best comparison would be  COMPARE all Games ever made by nintendo. Because this basically makes them the best developer.
Btw 50% of the games are just published by Sony and dont forget that Sony did not own most of the companies before they made good games. They usually buy the devs after they make good games.  
Nintendo on the other hand always co-develops or supervises the development of their games when they are done at third party studios (ibut most are done at seconrd party studions that ALREADY belong to Nintendo. They bought them way before the games come out they  like monolith and Xenoblade.

If the USA lose against canada in ice hockey  but the USA have won 1000 times before and canada just once.  still doesnt make Canada the overall better team. 

BTW COD gets better reviews than alot of really good SONY MS or NIntendo games   so now you know how much you can trust REVIEWS.

Well, we're talking about consoles and not portables here and obviously if Nintendo hadn't been so concerned with catering to the casuals with Wii, then they would have made more than 8 decent games this gen, rather than 8 decent games and the rest of their console output being crap aimed at the blue ocean market.  And, Ninteno's made it pretty clear at their recent E3 that they're still interested to a large extent in making crap to attract the blue ocean market.  Gaming should be about more than making five or six games for the casuals and five or six Mario games and no new core titles since the Super Nintendo days and pretending that's balanced.

Sony doesn't waste their time on crap.  They just try to make excellent games for the core.

And yet Sony has yet to produce a new megahit since Gran Turismo. Hmm...
