PS3 has the HIGHEST percentage of games rated over 80%

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.

To attempt impartiality on this topic we have used the ratings of MetaCritic.com.  MetaCritic is owned by C|net and only rates games where their exists a minimum of 5 reviews from known, quality review sites.  MetaCritic then averages these scores out.

The above chart then dispays the percentage of reviewed games with scores over 80% and under 50% for each console.

Reality Check Consoles (PS3/X360/PS2/Wii):

    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.

 Reality Check Handhelds (PSP/DS):

    The PSP has the HIGHEST percentage of games over 80% and the LOWEST percentage under 50%

 Conclusions:

Consumers are willing to forgo quality games to get a better price.  Both the DS and Wii are providing the lowest cost of entry to video gaming but offering the least in terms of game quality vs other consoles. 

 SPG will check back on this topic from time to time.

So your point is that the PS3 has the least amount of games?

I don't get it... 

Thats complete BS and you know it.

Because by your logic if a system only had one game and it was AAA it would be the best system because it has 100% of its gamse over 80%

So, are you going to tell us the exact numbers of these 80%+ games?

1 is 50% of 2

25 is 25% of 100.

I guess 1 is the greater number by your logic....

The 360 has over like 400 games out so I dont get what your trying to say? The PS3 and Wii barely have any at all atm so to try to compair in percentage's is very lop sided.

1 good game to 1 bad game = 50%

1 good game to 2 bad games = 33% 

So basicly both would have the same ammount of good games but the second example has a lower % just because it has more games out making this entire argument pointless if your trying to say one or the other has better games out. 

This char is useless.  If I released a console with only 1 game that happened to to score 100%, I'd have 100% of my games over 80% and 0% under 50%.... but would you buy a console with only 1 game??

The manipulative power of statistics strikes again.

400 games? It has 188.

This includes VC games as well which is very misleading. 

ps3 also has the least amount of games

360 has been out for like a year and a half

lol you sure, it definatly seemed more than that.  Oh well still a larger margin than PS3 and Wii so my point still stands. 

This thread really... oh forget it, I don't possibly lost all my IQ reading this crap.-KinGz-

What in the hell did you just say?  :shock:

That can make sense bacuse of that fact there aren't as much games on PS3 as 360, less games make for an easier higher percentage, and I suppose that's why the PS3 is selling out everywhere huh?

[QUOTE="-KinGz-"]This thread really... oh forget it, I don't possibly lost all my IQ reading this crap.Magical_Zebra

What in the hell did you just say? :shock:

that's the thread taking its toll :( 

Since when are people allowed to use Gamerankings as ownage in System Wars? If Zelda lovers can't use it for Twilight Princess, PS3 lovers can't use it to say their system is better because the games are better, ratings-wise, than any other console.

That being said, PS3 does have decent number of 8.0 or higher rated games at Gamespot. Though, given how people like to one-up each other, I say if you're going to use ratings as ownage, may as well go for 9.0 or higher. In that case, the Dreamcast is the ruler of the galaxy. ;)

this means absolutly nothing.

the ps3 barely has any games out.  

that means jack **** and you know it.  why are so many people desperate to defend ps3?  it sucks right now face it.  tazzydnc

You wanna know why? They wanna "feel" like they are fighting for a worthy cause. 8 months later and the Waitstation 3 has what to show for it? An average fps and DMC4....oops, thats multiplat, my bad. Well they have Gran Turi......woops that hasnt been released yet. Ok well they have Final Fan.....wait, thats next year. Ok ok ok, they have Metal gear So......another tentative title.

Well there is Motorstorm (DIRT is gonna crush that) and.....and....Virtual Tennis..oh snap, no online. R6 Vegas (360 had it many many months in advance and its still not released). Ok well PS3 has teh Sixxaxis......oh dammit, no rumble and when its time to replace the controller I have to wait for Sony to ship me one or go buy another.

What was the purpose in owning a PS3 again?  :shock:

How do you people NOT get wat he'z saying??

He's saying that out of all the games on One System There is a percentage of them that scored 80% or higher...JUST THAT SYSTEM

That's cause the PS3 has no games. :| Duh, the only thing it's got is...erm...GENJI...RESISTANCE...ERM...someone help me here...

Yeah, all PS3 games have stuttery frame rates, too. So they're not all quality. 

Metacritic?

What are they? Out of Iran?

Nice source, now do your healthy living argument using McDonalds for a source 

360 has more above 80% games, and the LEAST percentage of below 50% :lol: TCHBORob2223

Of the games on PS3 a higher percentage are 8.0 or higher than on any other system? I don't understand the % thing. We need #'s between 1-10.

You really shouldn't ever get a job working with statistics...maybe you should get a PR job.

It's like having two systems, one console has one game that got 92%, the other system has 1000 games with an average rating of 89%. "But teh first system has the betta average %! It must be better!" 

Such enormous amounts of logic! 

u know the old saying "there are lies, dam lies and there are statistics"

i dont doubt the figures posted by the TC. but they dont really tell us an awful lot.

one way to interperet this is that the PS3 is where the most quality games are made. however this doesent take into account the success of the consoles nor does it take into account the number fo games on each platform.  if the wii only had zelda then i could say that the wii is where quality games are since 100% of its games are marked over 80%.

Ps3 has a higher percentage of 80%+ games but 360 has more games that are over 80% since it has been out longer. percentages dont really tell us anything.

Which is why a poster above you said that he should work for PR. Because boy did he put a spin on those stats!!  :lol:

You can state percentages and possibilities all you want, at th end of the day all that matters is who has the most high quality titles. Quantity of quality is more important. The xbox is leading in this respect.Vandalvideo

This char is useless.  If I released a console with only 1 game that happened to to score 100%, I'd have 100% of my games over 80% and 0% under 50%.... but would you buy a console with only 1 game??

Corvin

Yeah, percentages really don't mean much when the amount of games is so low. Now if the Wii, 360, and PS3 all had the same amount it would be a different story.Ibacai

It'll be best if they had the same number of games, but the chart would still be valid if they had roughly the same number of games. That's why I say the chart would be valid if it were used to compare the PS3 to the Wii and the PSP to the DS. These consoles have roughly the same number of games.
