I just pointed how completely wrong you were. If we compare the quality of IPS between nintendo and sony, we all know who wins. The difference between Sony and Nintendo - is that Nintendo knows how to make a winning formula and continue to evolve them through decades, Sony in the other hand will experiment with new IP's some will fail and some will be succesfful and continue on (i.e god of war, uncharted, gran turismo). Quality over qauntity and no doubt Nintendo has the qaulity |
Well Sony made 12 90+ games for the PS3, whereas Nintendo only made 8 for the Wii. 5 of the PS3 games were new IP for this generation, while 0 of the Wii ones were. If Nintendo want to be known for having the best quality IPs, then they are going to have to do more than evolve the same formula.
OP: I think they are able but unwilling. They realise that they can make great games and have guaranteed sales if they push a game into one of the main franchises. However this is limiting the creativity to some extent. Given how amazing and fresh a game like Super Mario Galaxy can be when they are still tied to Mario, I would love to see what they can do when they start from scratch. I think they have the talent to set the bar, but while they are unwilling and playing it safe with remakes they won't.

5 is the new IP Sony made for the PS3 that got 90+. The 8 is the Wii games you listed (except I counted Metroid Prime 3 and Trilogy separately). But my original point was that new IP made it 12 - 8 rather than 7 - 8, showing putting effort into creating new IP will give you the edge over the competition. I was demonstrating that when you say Ninendo has quality over quantity, Sony is shown to be currently leading in that respect, and this is only because of new IP.

But i was'nt talking about Wii vs PS3 only situation in my original posts was I? Having a good metascore is not the only measurement of qaulity. It may include relevance, whether it is a household name and how well it sell. I'll do what you did and use metacritic as a qaulity measurement. Lets compare Nintendo highest rated game vs sony. Who wins? Lets compare which company has the more recognizable IPs. Who wins? Lets compare how well the IPS can sell a console. Who wins? Like someone posted earlier using metacritic as a qaulity measurement was your mistake
