How did Sony get this good?

Sony has never made a game as good as JSRF, which is not even close to Sega's best game.

Sure, I agree that historically Sega has a much better track record. But as for the more modern industry, I think Sony's games are more creative and fun, and that Sega has faltered. Their offerings over the past year or so just haven't appealed to me. Hopefully Shinobi and PDO will change my line of thinking.

I think Sony's games have been better than Sega's recently (other than Smilebit). Ico, Sly Cooper and Wipeout Fusion were great, and I hear Mark of Kri is great too.

Sony seems to be the only company that still cares about their games and teams.

Ummm, what the fuck?

Is NFL Gameday your definition of a classic?

Sony's provided me with the puzzle games I've enjoyed the most for years now. Futari Fantavision is decent, the Xi series is top-notch, and Otostaz is actually a really good game too.

I've been wanting to try out Popolocrois 3 one of these days...

(... also been meaning to write some sorta review on Otostaz but I'm not sure how to piece it all together quite yet)

I have never been a fan of Sony but I must admit that they have improved by leaps and bounds lately. They have a good number of quality game.. a surprising number. The deeper I look the more games I find that I am interested in....

They don't have nearly as many "all-time classic series" compared to a company/developer like Sega.... In fact, they don't have any all-time classics, at least to me, but the quantity of good-to-decent software has put them head and shoulders above the likes of Nintendo, at least in my opinion (since I am not a fan of most of Nintendo's important franchises).

Sony has made some good games, but compared to current and past first party developers, they suck. I'll stick with SNK, SEGA, Nintendo and Hudson for my first party games of choice.

Why are people listing Sly Cooper as a Sony game? Does sony own sucker punch?

I think all first parties are doing great (and the former first party as well). I don't know if Nintendo is doing better or worse than they used to - but AC, Pikmin and Sunshine are good efforts that are beyond what most any developer could do. Sony has been great, TM:B, Kinetica, ICO (especially) and Drakan are aces. MS's guns have been somewhat impressive with Halo, Amped, Blinx, PGR, Raillisport and Quantum Redshift. Sega, IMO, has been the biggest let down this year. They didn't so much as fail as I expected too much from them.

Yeah, Sony bought them out after they made Rocket:Robot on Wheels. Oh, and thanks Tracer- I forgot to mention TM:B and Drakan, two more excellent Sony games.

A little understated here: I think MS will do better and better as time goes on. Bungie and Bioware could carry them as far as I'm concerned but Artoon amd Curly Monsters steped up. Not only on Xbox, thier PC/Mac division is killer (I would say BEST on PC) with Age of Mythology recently. In short - wow. Digital Anvil has alway been hit or miss but Brute Force looks like a hit.
