I never stated PS All Stars was original, nor did I say LBP Kart. I was refferring to the original LBP which played nothing like Mario other than being a platformer, so how was it generic?
Also, the games that were met with "critcal acclaim" that you posted all had sub 80% on Metacritic and didn't sell very well at all.
The Xbox exclusives outside of Halo, Forza, and Gears sell like shit and all weren't exactly original at all.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=Lost+OdyLost Odysessy (turn based RPG set in anime verse, generic - Your logic.)
http://www.vgchartz.com/game/18652/tales-of-vesperia/Vesperia - Funny you brought this up considering that the Tales series is exclusive to PS atm. So I guess that's one non-generic PS exclusive, huh?
And no one downplayed Forza to begin with, it's a racing simulator and you're right, its the highest rated racing sim of this gen, however should I call it original? Nope. It does things better than other sims? Isn't that why you preffer it? First person science fiction shooter? Was done before Halo.
The same can be applied to Uncharted than, sure it borrowed from Tomb Raider but the actual gameplay and execution is different, hence it's more praised and sells more than Tomb Raider.
Out of all the Xbox exclusives, Gears of War is the only one that brought something new to the genre and was non-generic. So by your logic the only non-generic game for Xbox 360 is Gears and some indie games? Meanwhile the PS brand has just as much Indie support and more AAA exclusives over different platforms and more non-generic by your logic....
