Agree. They created so many great exclusives this year

seriously they have rocked the exclusives this year.

killzone 2 was 40+ million and uncharted 2 another 20+

as for quality sony keeps pumping AAA games, from LBP --> KZ2--> Infamous-->U2--> GoW3 --> GT5

that a long list of games

I'm confused 40 million? 40+ million what?

Also nintendo and sony are pretty much tied this generation when it comes to first party this generation with Nintendo leading the sales. Actually in terms of reviews nintendo published about 10 90+ games, and Sony only did 5. (source: Metacritic)

In terms of 90+ this year. Nintendo has 3 while sony has three as well. So boo ya? Argument null and void for now?

This is somewhat pointed at who ever uses review sites to make basis for judgement on quality.

I agree!

No other Publisher has so many AA games this year so yh

Sony 100%

Actually that could be wrong for this year. As Nintendo and Sony are tied for AAA games.

I think half you people forget add DS into the factor. In terms of Nintendo publishing.

Remember fans I am using Metacritic, something op so fondly mentioned.

This year I'd agree.  The end of last year too, what with LittleBigPlanet and all.  However, from the Wii's release to Mario Kart Wii, Nintendo was easily on top.

??? a publisher is lazy.

In the ps1 days Sony formed Polyphony Digital, Team ICO, most of Sony Japan, and Sony Santa Monica/Incognito.  They also formed or purchased 989 studios (can't recall which).  And they bought Psygnosis, now know as Sony Liverpool.  Naughty Dog was purchased right at the transition between generations, in 2000 I believe.  Maybe early 2001. 

Sony had a rather robust first party in the ps1 days, and it was the foundation for what they have now. The issue with Sony's first party is that their games were always lost in a see of third party titles.  It's only this generation that Sony has tried to make a name for themselves, because they desparately need to.  Sony's first party efforts aren't much larger now than they were last gen, excluding PSN stuff, but people in general seem to *think* they're doing more this gen than last.

You couldn't disagree more with what? My point was that neither reviews, nor sales are very good indicators to the quality of a game. I said sales might have a slight edge since critical reviews in gaming are an absolute joke and better to get the horrid opinions of the many as opposed to the horrid opinions of the few.

How does the Internet Explorer analogy fit? You do realize it's a pack-in, don't you? Most people don't download internet explorer. It's just there when they get their PC. A better thing to wonder is which optional browser has the most marketshare, and see if that in fact is of high quality. I'd like to think that's Firefox, and if it is, that's some good taste there. Love me some Firefox.
