Why do we need to talk about this? its only 2 points behind M$.....Big deal.


5 of the 8 games from MSFT above 80.  4 above 85.  2 above 90.   One below 80.  one beloe 70 which is what drags it down.  

Sony's list has been consistent with mediocre games whil MSFT had a mediocre and a bad game.  The rest was not.

And that's taking like what?

2012 of the PS3 vs 2010, 2011 and 2012 of the 360

xD

Yes.  Ive also said that im not happy with microsoft.  Neither one of them has done great in recent years but people defending these games and then attacking the other company are looking childish.  Ill say right now that MSFT needs to step up with being more consistent with core releases. Im not going to defend that and play damage control

Sony has been releasing way too many mediocre games and they need to step that up.  I expect the NeXbox and PS4 to fix this problem.  Also im expecting the last of us to be good

Fair enough!

God of War Ascension isn't even released yet. That review score isn't even final. BTW, I wouldn't call LBP Karting a "core" game. Might as well include Wonderbook in there. Nice try though.


if i remove LBP Karting then im removing fable the journey.  Your decision


So this isn't about discussing PS3 first party metacritic scores at all is it?

Its just a dick waving contest.

Yeah mate but we'd kinda be delusional to see it going +- more than ..3-4 at this point.

Sony's 1st party lineup consists of a combination of Nintendo/Microsoft. There's the Uncharteds and then there's the LittleBigPlanet Kartings. The thing is that Sony is trying to please everyone, and not every game will be universally praised. Do you understand that?

A game that would be considered a core game on a Nintendo platform such as a Karting game might not be considered as such on the PS3.

This seems about right. Sony is an above average developer, but not an amazing one. Most of their games are good (which these scores reflect) some of the are very bad, and a few are amazing.


yeah, sony just destroys MS and nintendo when it comes to their exclusives winning game of the year awards. but sure, they are just above avarage

They are releasing way to many mediocre games consisstently.  This isnt knocking on uncharted(Amazing) and LBP (Great game).

Do you understand that this is a problem that they have an entire years worth of games that has been mediocre and has done poorly in sales and critically.  GoWA will sell well but this is a dissappoinment and will likely hurt them

Take out Mario Kart: Playstation and Super Smash Bros: Playstation and the average would rise considerably.

I think Sony has learnt their lesson on those two.

Some people loved Twisted Metal. Some people loved Sly Cooper. As long as these titles are able to be profitable, I don't see any need to cut back.

PSABR was their holiday 2012 title and that was a huge mistake IMO. These titles are very niche and they should never take the place of a game such as Uncharted.

79 is not horrible it's OK.


So I assume you think 6 out of 8 core games below 80 as being an achievement.....Yeah ok.

No, but I know having ONE exclusive in the year of 2013 isn't.
What do you mean 6? GoW:A hasn't even been relased your basing review scores on a game that has not been released and they aren't it isn't even the FINAL score.
