Microsoft is a better publisher than Sony? This is very hard to believe, but then again its all left up to votes. LOL Lets see if this is an omen for next year. EA at least has our hate and respect since they have a lot of titles that many westerns love, but Microsoft? Seriously?

What's your point exactly?

Maybe you should edit "2012" into the title since people don't seem to be grasping the concept. Lol @ sales fighting over .07

Says the guy that admitted he will make a big fuss when PS3 sales will be 1 unit more than the X360 total shipments..  

He actually said that?

He already quoted me and a couple of others how he can't wait to tease us and more when it will happen....  even on occasions when users were not talking about total shipments...

MS tends to back the games with the most metacritic promise.

Yes quoters, post the exceptions, but numbers dont lie.

I'm just quoting to say, LOL.

Well that just speaks "denial" to me. When MS publishes, the games metas tend to be higher. Nothing funny about that.

Again, LOL. BTW this is only for 2012.

"only" for 2012.......the most recent year that just passed a month ago....... lol you act like this is 2007 statistics.

hey np, im used to ps fans refusing to face things. I acknowledge that Sony pumps out more games, but this is about when MS publishes something, the average metascore is higher then sonys.....whats so hard to understand?

@bold - Now unless you consider a 1 point difference to be the deciding factor, your statement right there is wrong. Not to mention Sony has 152 more games than Microsoft but still only has received 11 negative reviews whereas Microsoft has received a total of 15. 

You know what that means right? if microsoft has more low scores(i.e. kinect shovelware) while publishing notably less titles, it means their mid tier and AAA games score quite a bit higher than Sony's, on average, to counteract it.

Based on what you just said, Microsoft has a large number of terrible titles bringing down their averages, whereas Sony publishes loads of games with a higher floor and lower ceiling. Do you consider this a good thing?  I suppose if you have time to pay 50 games a year, you want masses of decent games, but seeing as how these stats suggest that MS non shovelware games must score multiple points higher, on average, than sony's, indicates that a selective player has a better upper tier selection to choose from.

This is for 2012 bro don't even bother. Not Sony's strongest year. 2013 will be a different story.

Ya this is olllllld news. it is a bad memory. It never happened. Does this sum up what a PS3 fan thinks of 2012? Because your seriously giving off that vibe :P


What's amazing is that even with MS' biggest franchise releasing in 2012 they only managed a 0.7 difference.


Size of a franchise doesn't effect this discussion, it's not sales.

Hey, guys, you know the difference between Sony and Microsoft this year on Metacritic is 0.7? Getting upset over this or proposing that it's meaningful is pretty silly.

Major publishers:

6. Warner Bros. (70.6)

Mid-sized publishers:

1. Take-Two Interactive (83.1)
3. Square Enix (75.2)

Heh.

I'm surprised this hasn't been commented on more. Since when the hell is Square a Mid sized studio? 0_0 After EA and Activision I'd consider Square the next largest third party company, no way are they mid-sized >.>

Also Warner Bros being included in large publishers is a bit premature, they have the Mortal Kombat Studio and RockSteady, but then thats about it, in a few years time they'll be big, but not right now.
