No, but it does indicate that they have a general filter for quality. Not too much garbage with the good y'know.
From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

You can't disregard their causal games in ratings and then praise them for innovation later. They chose to do this, so it makes Sony's advantage no less sweet.

Well, it all depends on how you define quality. Which publisher releases better quality, one with a 9 game and a 5 game or one with two 7 games?
Uncharted, Ratchet, Resistance (released this year in Europe), Motorstorm and HS were all in the 80's with R and UDF in high 80's and even 90 on gamerankings for Uncharted

"Sony's advantage", of course, being catering to reviewers. I think that we can say that reviewers are somewhat worthless when it comes to reviews of these games; they may be very fun, but because the reviewers shy away from those types of games, and towards FPS or whatever you want to say their bias is towards...
well, I would say that Sony might wanna start thinking about what types of games might *not* be reviewed well, if they want to tap into this market at all. The Blue Ocean will not be broken into by a game that scores 90+ on metacritic... metacritic is a gauge of how much the red ocean likes the game. Keep that in mind whenever talking about review scores.
And I would just like to take this opportunity to point out... I have had a hell of a lot more fun with the 72% Endless Ocean than I ever will with the 86% Resistance: Fall of Man.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

Does it even matter? It's not like Nintendo makes the best games. I mean, come on! Capcom???

I agree with you at the end, reviews are subjective, and they very rarely match your opinion 100%

i think sony caters to it's audience. it's audience is made up of gamers. there's nothing wrong with that. besides, no one ever said nintendo was bad. from a publishing standpoint it just averaged slightly lower then sony in 07. no big deal.
May I point out that most of Sony's games (Lair and Folklore excluded) sold well
