Reviews are the only way we can determine what console has had the best SW released, and in the past 2 years, PS3 has had the most quality games released. Last year it was close between PS3/360. This year PS3 has walked away with it quality-wise. Next year is looking to be slightly closer... But again, PS3 has had the best quality SW for the past 2 years.

Doubtful. Reviews are just opinions of pretty enclosed group of people.
Quality is a matter of product. If a game isn't extremely bugged, case isn't made of cheap plastic and data medium is perfectly readable, then it's a quality product. I hope games, that are obviously products, at the same time still are works of art (and to greater extent they are as long as creativity involved in production). You can formalize what's good or bad quality, describe and objectively evaluate it. But you can't say what's a 'quality' game\character\level design, art, script or, ultimately, what's a 'quality' fun, since you can't measure such things objectively. Though you can subjectively evaluate them bringing in your gaming experience, i.e. your taste as a measure. Therefore people aren't looking for abstract 'guality' games, they're looking for particular gaming experience they might enjoy ("I've never played such game before, but it looks fun!"), or enjoyed in the past and want some more ("I've played such game before and it was fun!").
I suggest dropping the usage of word 'quality' with regard to games. It's misleading.
