No contest, Ps3, won this year, imo, and if we go by Gamerankings, it also supports my point.

This isn't possible. You're wrong.

Then who had the best year. Nintendo because they sold the most. I don't care about that.

You're allowed to have an opinion. It's just that what you said is plain wrong. Go to Gamerankings and find me these games you're talking about. I've never even heard of them.

I'm too lazy, if you wanna prove me wrong that much go ahead, i'm take a nap meanwhile. Also I said it supports, not decides.

That's becasue you know PS3 hasn't published any games. I could go to Gamerankings and not find a single game PS3 has published ever.

You know your evil, for making me look a fool. Also you should have known i talked about sony. No cake for you!

GD magazine awarded 6th place to Sony: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25506

That's all time, not 2009. I don't think Ubisoft's released a single good game yet this year, but looking at their back catalog, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Rayman, Prince of Persia, Warlords, too many to name...they used to be legends. I think Sony should be above Take-Two, but that's a pretty fair list.

Sony's first and second party games have been better than Nintendo's this gen.

Was it any different last gen?

I would say Nintendo's first party last gen about equal to Sony. Ninty wins the gen before that. In the PS1 days, Sony didn't really have a first party.

Uncharted's GOTY, as far as I'm concerned, and yeah, I agree that Sony is publisher of the year.

I think they'd had more consistantly good exclusives this year than any other platform (Uncharted 2, InFamous, MLB The Show to name a few) , plus they're selling a lot of consoles due to the price dop.

It's really hard to give it to anyone but Nintendo. Their audience loves the games they make, and they stretch into so many genres every year.

@Rath-Nice list, but you forgot Spirit Tracks.


All I have down for Nintendo is Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver, Punch Out, Wii Fit Plus, and Wii Sports Resort.

I don't know how that beats the list the OP made.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

it got a 7

So did Killzone 2. Again, from Edge. And again, a 7 from Edge... you know what, forget it.

If there is such an award then Sony deserves it...

They have had the best exclusives this year.

I don't think you ever sent me a friend request. If you did, I would have accepted it as soon as I got it. That orange link annoys me.

Mario Kart Wii got a 6 and it outsold all games mentioned in the OP... combined. What this shows is that critics get overruled by gamers and in the end that's what really matters: pleasing gamers, not reviewers.

just because something sells doesn't necessarily mean its quality

Absolutely correct. However, the OP's method of a 90+ Metacritic isn't any better as an indicator to quality. This is taking the word of approximately 60 game players over the opinions of many more. Not to mention critical reviews in gaming are a joke compared to other fields like books, movies, and music. If there were more credibility in the review system, they may have some weight, however without it, I'd say sales are actually a better indication if we have nothing else to go on.

Couldn't disagree more. Just because something is popular or catches on, does not make it a good product. Internet Explorer has the highest marketshare despite being one of the worst if not the worst browser available.
