Indeed. and yes all goverments work that way also, democracy it's a lie.

ps3. It only does everything :p

Well, you said that sales are a better indication of quality because of the video game review system. I agree that the review system is terrible, but I disagree that sales are a better indication.

They've already won multiple awards this year (one for being the 'most innovative' company as well as a number of smaller awards).  But yes, they won't win all the awards.  I was just speaking in generalization that Nintendo is the one who seems to be winning all the awards.  It seems rather stupid that suddenly when Sony turns around and starts selling more units for a couple months and sells 'less' of a deficit, they should be awarded 'Publisher of the Year'.

Last time I checked, there's more to being a good publisher than just having popular games.  They also need to make a profit and hold that title for a sustained amount of time.  Something Nintendo has done for oh...3-4 years now consistently.  And Sony has dropped the ball on badly and needs to work a while on to gain that title back.

lulz, sales. Yep, Nintendo is the best publisher of the year.

And I suppose Transformers 2 is the best movie of the year? And Boom Boom Pow is the best song of the year? And whichever Twilight book came out this year is the best book of the year?

Right?

Sony has done a great job this year and last year with their exclusive games. I am not going to call them the best since I really haven't played the other console's game, but Sony have produced the best reviewed games lately.

The crazy thing is Sony has given us so many new ips this Gen that are amazing qualities. And the game that will separate it from the others I believe :

The Last Guardian.
i have a funny feeling that game will cement it self as this Generation's best.

I don't think it will, and this is coming from someone that has both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus in his top 10 games ever. If those two titles couldn't become the best, then I don't think The Last Guardian can. The games are just a bit too left oc center to gather everyone together in unision. The accolades will always go to something that is great, but very acceptable to all.

On a personal level, I have my hopes that The Last Guardian could be the greatest game ever. Anything from that studio definitely has the potential to.

You do realize that the USA is not a democracy right? It's a Republic. Anyway, governments do not decide what is quality, they decide what is best for the good of the people. And, to add to that, Metacritic is not a government....so there is so much wrong with your statement it's comical. Anyway, Quality is not something that can easily be measured and will vary from person to person.
