8. NBA Live 2003 8.5
9. Knockout Kings 2003 8.3
10. FIFA 2002 (World Cup) 8.2

Average: 8.6

Discussion: Yep, every game on EA's list is sports games, so that should say somthing about the Sega sports vs EA sports war at least. Oh, wait a minute, it seems that all but 2 games on Sega's list to recieve over a 8.0 are sports games! Maybe Sega isn't as good at Non-sports games as we thought. On to X-Box

XBOX

Sega:
1. Jet Set Raidio Future 9.1
2. NFL 2k3 9.1
3. GUNVALKYRIE 9.0
4. World Series Baseball 9.0
5. NBA 2k3 8.9
6. NBA 2k2 8.8
7. Sega GT 2002 8.8
8. Sega Soccer Slam 8.3
9. NFL 2k2 8.3
10. House of the Dead 3 8.1


Average: 8.7 (8.74)

EA:
1. NHL 2002 9.0
2. SSX Tricky 9.0
3. NCAA Football 2003 8.9
4. Knockout Kings 2002 8.8
5. Madden 2003 8.8
6. NHL 2003 8.7
7. Madden 2002 8.6
8. F1 2001 8.5
9. NASCAR Thunder 2003 8.5
10. NBA Live 2003 8.5

Average:8.7 (8.73)

Discussion: Sega pulls out a close win... if the list added one game EA would have won. Sega's next game up got a horrific 6.8 while EA's next game on the list got a 8.5. With this fact known, I would personally give the victory to EA, but hey, it's either even (too close to call) or EA when we toss in the next game. Take the results however you want it.

PLAYSTATION 2

Sega
1. Virtual Fighter 4 9.3
2. NFL 2k3 9.2
3. NFL 2k2 9.0
4. NBA 2k3 8.7
5. NBA 2k2 8.6
6. Rez 8.5
7. Sega Sports Tennis 8.5
8. Gungrave 8.1
9. Ecco the Dolphin 7.8
10. Crazy Taxi 7.1

(Tell me if I missed somthing, cause after NBA 2k2 finding Sega scores got a bit hard, I clicked on all types of wrong games)

Average:8.5

EA
1. SSX Tricky 9.4
2. NBA Street 9.3
3. SSX 9.3
4. Madden 2002 9.2
5. NHL 2002 9.2
6. Madden 2003 9.1
7. FIFA 2001 9.0
8. Madden 2001 9.0
9. NCAA 2002 9.0
10. Need for Speed 2 9.0

*trys to hold in laughter*

Average: 9.2 (9.15)

Discussion:

Overall Sega Average: 8.4
Overall EA Average:8.8


And the winner: EA

Closing Comments: Scores may mean nothing, or they may mean everything, all I know is this shocked me and probably you either way. By this time, I expected Sega to be pulling off much higher marks, but I guess it just ain't so. Once Sega went 3rd party, they acctually thought they could beat EA. On the sales charts, and on the scores charts, EA is winning.

Just making all of you guys aware of this
