Just ask youself why it sells better and you will get the answer (hint: it reaches a new, broader audience -- that has no clue of the difference between a good game and a bad game).
Fixed for accuracy.
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.

Myabe you can't count, or maybe you just weren't taught well in school. The Gamecube version is higher on gamerankings, not the PS2. It also happens to have nearly twice as many reviews as the PS2 version. Sony fanboyism at its finest.

@Paul_Warren and those who think like him, "the plural for speculation is not data." That quote rings true in this form as well.
"The plural of opinion is not data."
Just because you can't see the persons making up those numbers for each quotient doesn't mean that number isn't steepend from their perspective. Your best bet is to get over it and buy yourself a copy of LBP.
I posed some questions before, I'd love to have them answered ^_^.

Well, let's look at that a bit more deeply shall we.
Grand Theft Auto IV is also on 360. However, it is the PS3 version that is the highest rated game of this console generation.
The Orange Box (PC version's Game Rankings score = 96.306. It is the definitive version.)(Also, a patch was released for the PS3 version sometime ago that improves the game from its original version that only received an 88.584. I don't know how much it improves the PS3 version scorewise, but it is supposed to significantly improve the PS3 version.)
You came up with ten multiconsole games on that list where the 360 versions have higher Game Rankings' scores than the PS3 version.
Let's see if I can do the same:
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) = 97.419 > Grand Theft Auto IV (360) = 96.641.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3) = 86.655 > Ninja Gaiden 2 (360) = 82.057.
Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) = 86.564 > Unreal Tournament 3 (360) = 82.525.
GRID (PS3) = 86.424 > GRID (360) = 86.163.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (PS3) = 86.387 > Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (360) = 86.057.
Madden NFL 09 (PS3) = 86.288 > Madden NFL 09 (360) = 85.779.
NHL 08 (PS3) = 85.904 > NHL 08 (360) = 84.993
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (PS3) = 85.090 > Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (360) = 84.827
Looks like you actually got me. Only 8 of the multiconsole games on that list on PS3 scored higher than on the 360 in comparison to 10 multiconsole games scoring higher on the 360 than on the PS3. However I did demonstrate two things here.
1.) GTA IV is better on the PS3 than on the 360. the only reason to buy the 360 version is for the DLC. However, as LA Noire recently going cross platform shows and with the PS3 version of GTA IV selling so much better than the 360 version in Europe and Japan, then one can expect that same dlc to also be making its way to the PS3 version of GTA IV in some form.
2.) Most 360 fans say that multi-console games are always better on the 360. Well 8 versus 10 doesn't equal always. And the more recent games on the list demonstrate a trend in which the PS3 versions of multi-console games have in fact been better than the 360 versions. For example, Grand Theft Auto IV, Madden NFL 09, GRID, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Unreal Tournament 3 (to be honest, I was surprised that Warfighter 2 and UT3 are better on PS3; however, I guess that being able to play these games for free online offsets a bit of the advantage that Live gives with achievements when you consider that you also have to pay $50.00 a year to play games on Live.) and Devil May Cry 4 [DMC 4 (PS3) = 84.057 > DMC 4 (360) = 83.914 narrowing the margin to 9 to 10 which will be altered to 10 to 10 by Eternal Sonata with more on the way like Rage, New Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge, and Final Fantasy XIII all of which should add to the total number of PS3 multiconsole games that are better than their 360 counterparts ] have all been better on the PS3.
Fixed for more completeness.

LBP does not require online. Stop stating that lie. It is a strong component of the game but one that can be completely ignored just like in MKWii. The focus of the game is sharing. Online is a major conponent, unlike other bridge games. There are two buttons needed to play the game, jump(X) and hold things(R1 which i believe activates the jetpack). As stated before the infinite respawn with plentiful checkpoints make it more accesable than NSMB and it's limited life based system. Dpes not work like that. Infinate lives and checkpoints mean nothing is the game is too frustrating. In fact, that may sollitify that the game is hard. NSMB was never incredibly difficult, thus, the lives. Infinate lives makes me think that this game is going to be hard in terms of level design. That will make all the difference. Bridge games don't recieve any special type of advertising as far as i'm aware. All the earlier titles you mentioned as bridge games didn't get special bridge game advertising. It was a responce to someone who said the game would be advertised to non-gamers (or "casuals") If you never make a game that they can enjoy then they will never see a reason to own your console. Nintendo was simply smart enough to sell the game with the system from the start so the reason was quite obvious. PS3 isn't a mass market price. It will get there just as the 360 did. It would be nice to already have a library of interesting games for those who finally do decide to pick up the system when it is finally at that pricepoint instead of getting to that point and then slowly starting to release the games. Especially if casual and hardcore players will enjoy them in the meanwhile. The 360 isn't a mass market price either. It is still $350. Of course you can get one for $250, it is still going to confuse the hell out of customers (becuase there are 5 or 6 versions of the same exact thing). Neither system has been mass makret. Evenm with the price, there are too many models and too few mass market games on the systems. They are high end gaming machines for high end gamers. Ps. the first videos I saw focused on multiplayer. 2d platformer with multiplayer piqued my interest. Finding out about the creation and sharing is what drove me over the edge enough to want a PS3 now. |
comments in bold.
You guys are arguing over the dumbest shit I've ever seen. You're arguing over .7% of a difference on a game that doesn't deserve all the high scores it got in the first place. Which makes me sad because I own it.
All I see is, "Wah wah, my console of choice isn't selling as good as the Wii."
