What an absurd way to make a purchase choice. The ONLY point TC got right was the expense of the PS3 making it a more difficult purchase for the average consumer. Though that gap has shortened since launch. But seriously. Going by publication and commitee awards? The average consumer doesn't care about that.
The "only GS score counts" is only valid on these boards for the purposes of flops and ownage, nothing else. The real world doesn't operate by this. And even if the system is last place in market share, that shouldn't matter to a gamer as long as they are getting enjoyment out of it. I'm sure Gamecube owners can attest to this.
And there ARE a few good games (even if not AAA, still enjoyable) to play before GoW3 and FF 13 release, including Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, and Ratchet.
PS3 may not be doing well in the market but the picture TC paints is ridiculously removed from reality, and even I being an X360 gamer can see that.
