Quality of Current Console Games - PS3 Leads - 33 Minutes Ago
Hope this isnt old^^

Quote: Quality of Current Console Games - PS3 Leads

Often you will hear from gamers from one console group or the other "Your system has no quality games". In the last 6 months this has been true for owners of PS3, we hear it all the time. SPG has set out to investigate these claims.

Of all current consoles the PS3 has the highest percentage of games rated over 80%.
Of all current consoles the X360 has the lowest percentage of games rated under 50%.
The Wii has the lowest percentage of games over 80% and the most under 50% of any console.
The PSP has the highest percentage of games
over 80% and the lowest percentage under 50%.

Submitter's note: you can check the validity of these claims yourself.

For example:
14 of the 44 released PS3 games have better rating than 80%. That is 31% of the games.

52 of the 188 released X360 games have better rating than 80%. That is 27% of the games.

Interesting. Apparently, everyone have enough money for more than 13 games (excluding one motorstorm) per 6 months though.

:| I'd rather have a choice of 52 80%+ games than 14.

The percentage would most likely drop if the number of games on the platform were to increase.

Its easy to debunk and make statistics play in your favor. In the past 7 1/2 months 360 has had 2 exclusive AAA games, PS3 has none so 360 has 100% chance of getting 2 more AAA eclusives in the next 7 1/2 months vs PS3's 0% chance.:lol::P

30 of those 44 games are rated under 80%. Using mathematic rules of probability, there is therefore more of a chance that the percentage of games rated above 80% would decrease with the increasing amount of titles on the specific platform.

However, I don't see how this matters at all. We're talking about a console with 44 games vs one with 188 games. Why anyone would draw any conclusion over anything when the titles are so few, as well as when the amount of titles is highly different, is something that is beyond me.

If 30:44 is 68% then 60:88 is 68% also. When did probability shows the number decreasing or increasing?

You're absolutely right, dunno what I was thinking.

Oh well, I still believe there are too few games on PS3/too many on Xbox 360 to draw any form of interesting conclusion. Giving it a year or two would be appropiate.

wow a whole 14 games above 80% . Meanwhile 360's games 80% and above with 52 are more then the PS3's entire game libary with only 44 games. I would rather a system with 188 games with 52 game above 80% then a system with only 14 game above 80% and 44 games total.

The same was true of the GameCube last generation, it's because it has the least amount of games.

so by your logic: a console should have one game, but make it AAAA, so that it has 100 % AAAA's

I think the point here is that the PS3 DOES have some games right now which are worth playing.  14 games is a lot of games to play.  The xbox has a bunch of decent games too, but i'm never going to buy more than 14 games for a console, that's like 1100 dollars or something...

Obviosuly you haven't. The stats show that if PS3 reaches 188 games it will have a better percentage of 80% rated games than the Xbox360 did. Of course this is all probablity.

Once again, you have clearly never taken statistics. The larger the sample size the more accurate the results will be, always. According to your data, PS3 has less than 1/4 the amount of games of the Xbox 360. There is no way to accurately compare the two, and the only thing one can know for certain is that the percentages will change as more games come out.

Your method would be like looking at a basketball player who's gone 1 for 2 in free throws at the start of a game, and saying that he is definitely going to finish the game and the season with a 50%  free throw average. Well many people start off games going 1 for 2 on free throws, they only have to miss one shot afterall, but they will almost certainly finish the game and the season with a much better shooting % than .500. Unless his name is Shaquille O'Neal.

It's called Chance Error. If you roll a die six times, your 'statistics' say that you should get 3 even numbers and 3 odd numbers, but you might not. The fewer number of games the PS3 has, the more its average score (or percent of scores above 80%) will deviate from the standard curve. 

If the PS3 lineup follows the standard curve, with 188 games there should be around 45 AA and AAA titles. I could give you the chance error, but I forgot how and my stats book is all the way across the house. ;)

And that would be due to the fact that the PS3 doesn't have as many games as the 360...
