Whoa! Take it easy there, fanboy! No, I'm not going to compare the two consoles hardware wise and tell outright which one I think is better than the other. No. That's not what I'm here for. This here thread will compare the PS3's and 360's software line-up from the year 2007 to present day '10. Of course, none of the following games are there because of my opinion. I've thrown my opinion out of the window before making this 'article.'
The games mentioned below are all rated according to an average score of all the critics. The calculations have been conducted by Metacritic and it's just here to show which console won which year in terms of software. I'm only comparing the PS3 and the 360. No PC. No Wii.
Below is a Top 10 list of the best video-games from each console for a particular year (beginning from 2007). Each console will be awarded points for a specific type of software found in the Top 10 lists.

Below is a Top 10 list of the best video-games from each console for a particular year (beginning from 2007). Each console will be awarded points for a specific type of software found in the Top 10 lists.
- If a game on the list belongs to the rival console (i.e. on both PS3 and 360) then a particular console will be awarded with only +1 point.
- If a game on the list is a multiplatform but does not belong to the rival console (e.g. on the 360 and PC, but not on the PS3) then a particular console will be awarded with +2.5 points.
- If a game on the list is exclusive to that particular console, then that console will be awarded +5 points.
