Nintendo is better though.SaltyMeatballs
I have to disagree. I think Nintendo gets raved about largely due the the genrally poor quality of their 3rd person software. When compared their 1st person really feels amazing. The problem is, as someone else stated, Nintendo is still doing the same thing with their 1st person they were doing 20 years ago. The best games are Zelds, Mario, Metroid. A few other titles such as Mario Cart and SSB since then, but those are still pretty old ideas. Granted this isn't universal Wii sports and Wii fit are original, but the idea really isn't. I remember doing some of that stuff as a 7 year old on the game pad. Nintendo offerings are not bad. On the contrary they really are well crafted high quality games, but I am not conviced they are on the level of Sony. This is why:
Sony has to compete against a number of high quality 3rd person titles: MGS, FF, BioShock, CoD and MW, AC, all putting out high quality games on the console. And yet despite this their 1st person offerings are not only competitive with them, they often raise the bar. On top of that they have come up with new ideas. GoW is only about five years old, and they are putting it to bed soon. Ratchet and Clank are ps2 ideas (still going) but Jak and Daxter, a hugely successful game has essentially ended as Naughty Dog created Uncharted, a new and successful ps3 franchise. Granted they have the potential to fall into a rut like Nintendo has IMO, but they haven't yet and hopefully they will continue to develope and support new ideas.
