According to Metacritic:


thats odd.. if this was from metacritic, i wonder where next-generation got their average review scores from, since they are both a few points off from each other


 The lack of Capcom on that list renders it null and void. :P

Both charts confirm Ubisoft's utter lack in quality of developing.

You'll cut costs way more than you cut revenue, and thus increase profit.

The anti-Sony hate is flowing freely from your keyboard.

People really underestimate Sony's first party offerings, imo. Sure, their franchises may not be as iconic or long lasting as Nintendo's, but they are still quite numerous and usually of very high quality.

Here are some of the more prominent Sony development teams, along with their more notable franchises:


Clap Hanz - Hot Shots Golf
Incognito - Twisted Metal, Warhawk
Naughty Dog - Jak & Daxter, Uncharted
Polyphony Digital - Gran Turismo
SCE Japan (which consists of many dev teams, much like Nintendo EAD) - Ape Escape, Folklore, Siren
SCE Santa Monica - God of War
Team ICO - Ico, Shadow of the Colossus
Zipper Interactive - SOCOM

And you can see more 1st party studios like Evolution Studios and Guerrilla Games here.

And since the list in the OP focuses on publishers, we'd have to include Sony's 2nd party studios like Insomniac (Ratchet & Clank, Resistance) and Sucker Punch (Sly Cooper, inFamous) along with it's 1st party offerings.

It doesn't top Nintendo, imo (Zelda <3), but you have to admit, Sony has quite a bit of developing muscle.

You've attacked "sony fans" and tried to downplay the OP far more than you've mentioned Ubisoft in this thread. :|



now who has the top 10 highest rated games of 2007? not the average of all games made. Nintendo got knocked pretty hard with their casual offerings.

Its GGE dont even bother.



"Deranged Hobo" I like that one! You could be right.

Maybe Sony did win(Yes Capcom not in there was a major oversight)they have come a long way since their PS1 days,of needing third party help to sell consoles.
At that time the third parties were more then willing to help as some of their games sold better on the PS1 then the others.
I am just playing ICO now,and even with it's wonky camera,it is a fine game

Unfortunately reviewers are the only way we can judge as to where the games should be in the rankings. We would hope that they take it seriously,be unbiased, less subjective,more critical and really play the games....to the end,

Also they should always keep in mind who the game is being made for,as many children's games get low scores,yet the kids love them,same with the casual games.

When you look at sales figures,Nintendo blows each of them away by more then a 2-1 margin,and the best part is that it's a whole new generation of gamers,who will buy more(Hardcore?) games down the road. Maybe even a different console as well,who knows?



Dreamcast-18 years later "It's Still Thinking"

I applaud Sony for doing so well. If you actually look at all 23 games they produced this year, you'll see that they took a quality approach, spreading good games across all three of their platforms. I think the tables may be different if we cut off all the games but maybe the top ten, as Ubisoft would be much higher considering their scores were pushed down because of all the shovelware they publish. In any case though, there's no need to argue, Sony did a good job filtering out junk and publishing some quality software in 07.
