the stats speak for themselves

i'm quite bored so have decided to look at the percentage of games rated 8.0 or more by this site for each of the 3 consoles.

i was expecting the 360 to win by a fair amount but have been pleasantly suprised

360

107/342 games reviewed socored 8.0 or higher which is 31.28%

wii

34/231 scored over 8.0 which is a miserly 14.71%

ps3

74/206 games socored more than 8.0 which is 35.9%

so it seems the ps3 has the highest proportion of good games

**EDIT**

and before any pc gamers pipe up with their 2 cents here are the pc stats from this site

pc

810/3043 rated 8.0 or higher which is 26.61%

what about games rated above 9 :|Angry_PolarBear

The PS3 can keep the % I would rather have the far more 8.0 games.rybe1025

who cares which was out first, that doesn't mean those games no longer exist, yes they'll be more low budget titles on 360 since it's easier to develop for. Some of those games are actually alot of fun. Katamari and Earth defense force for starters, were tons of fun, and the only thing keeping them exclusive is probably the cost of developing on the ps3. And it has almost 150 more games on it, that's a big difference. Its not like that first year they released 150 games that didn't release on the ps3, its just that every year more companies develop for the 360, and that gap will probably increase. savagetwinkie

i think the point of this thread has flown right over your head so i'll make it less complicated for you.

i've checked the review section of this site and worked out what percentage of 360 games out of all of them have scored 8.0 or more, i then did the same with the wii and the ps3 to then find out the liklihood of a consumer picking up a decent game if they were in a magical store with every game ever released for each console. i'm not having a dig at the quality of the games and as my stats show there are more good games available for 360 than there are for ps3 but ps3 has a higher percentage of good games in terms of it's library. these stats include multiplatformas well as exclusive titles so i'm not sure what you're trying to get at with that comment about exclusives, even if i could understand your incomprehensible energy outburst

The Wii numbers are just appalling.:(

Overall the 360 still has the most impressive library,but that stands to reason seeing as its been on the market a year longer than the PS3 or Wii.

Also the proportion of good/bad games on the PS3 is quite impressive.

i was trying to point out percentage is a moot and unmeaningfull stat when you have a system thats easier to develop for. I'm sorry that you can't comprehend that 360 has more low budget title's that are just as fun as to play but maybe lack that refinement that only elitist idiots play and can't play anything rated under 8.0. Even if they had been released at the same time, 360 would still have more games. That stat really just shows that the ps3 doesn't get as many games and smaller companies won't take the chance to create something new on it. If you have the quantity and quality already greater then everyone else, why care about the ratio?savagetwinkie

but that point is moooooooooooooooot. and no the most fun games aren't always rated higher by the critics, look at gtaiv and saints row 2. Which one is rated higher and which one is more fun to play. It's obvious which one had far more quality to it, gta iv, but that doesn't make it fun. Having more to choose from means that if we sent someone into a store they'd and opened their eyes, they'd have more to choose from with the 360, and more likely to find something that they'd like to play and actually have fun with. If you blindfold them then yes they are more likely to find something someone else liked on the ps3, but that doesn't mean they'll have fun with it.savagetwinkie

But what happens if you take the multi-plats out of the equation?Legendaryscmt

Your math is terrible if you came to that conclusion. The only way a comparison like this could be taken seriously even in the slightest, is if everyone had the same amount of games out. You obviously didn't account for that making this thread fail.

Try again.

I understand your point, but no matter what way you spin it, 360 has more higher rated games, more games, and a larger variety. Which gives someone a better chance of finding something they like on the 360, unless your mentally challenged and you pick your games by falling on them and all that matters is some flashy callers that happen when you push buttons. 360 has more options. 360 has more quality games. So why does your point matter exactly? ps3 for mentally challenged, 360 for everyone else?savagetwinkie

and again, your point is entirely useless when you take into account someone's tastes. So my argument is, I have more good games to choose from. Your argument is, I also have more games to choose from that someone else didn't enjoy. And that makes your argument valid with the percentage. But no matter how you spin it, 360>ps3 library. I can use me as an example, I buy games that are low budget all the time and enjoy them. Your assuming that no one will enjoy these games, or they'll ALWAYS have more fun with a higher rated game. You take away the assumptions and the percents higher rated games really don't matter since its all subjective any way. So if someone walks into a store, they'll always be more likely to find something they like playing on the 360 then they will with ps3. Your spinning this to make the ps3 look better, thats all the percents really matter. savagetwinkie

the more games you have the less the percentage will be. SamiRDuran

The PS3 can keep the % I would rather have the far more 8.0+ games.rybe1025

Bingo, you can't play % but you can play games

Percentage ratios of good games to total don't say anything about how a good a system actually is. Let's look at the 6th generation of systems:

PS2: 346 / 1426 games scored above 8.0. That's 24%

Xbox: 230 / 816 games scored above 8.0. That's 28%

Gamecube: 132 / 472 games scored above 8.0. That's 28%

PS2 has a crappier ratio, but we all know that it was the best system in the end. Heck they are still making games for it right now. Can't say the same for the Xbox or the Gamecube.

The PS3 may have a better ratio then the 360... but it's like the Gamecube of this generation (so far).

In the end, ratios don't mean squat. Let's talk about hypothetical console system Y

Console System Y: 2 / 2 game scored above 8.0. That's 100%

WHAT A GREAT SYSTEM!!!! ALL THE GAMES ARE ABOVE 8.0. WHO CARES IF IT'S ONLY 2 GAMES. THE STATS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

lol.

107 in 3/4 years.

74 in 2/3 years.

This would mean that the number of quality titles released on the 360 by average was 35 ever year. (Going by 3 years.)

By comparison the PS3 has 37 quality titles released on the console ever year. (Going by 2 years.)

Are stats not great when you can abuse the hell out of them to get what you want? Still, it's complete nonsense, it's just playing with stats to mess with people. Still it's not as big a gap as people seem to think it is. 107 -74 = 33. Alot of those games are redudant now like GRAW (GRAW 2 was alot better. GRAW feels outdated now.) and PDZ (Lol).

Clearly, O'Reilly is mortified by the spin in this thread.

lol?

percent means nothing

810 games > 107 games anytime

Its funny how Lemmings always use % when talking about the Wii but when the Cows do it to the Lemmings % doesn't matter.

Just an observation.

its nice to see that in numbers... but its kinda useless since nobody does that in reality

My goodness. Just look at those lemmings tearing up that poor OP into pieces. Since when did numbers > percentages? That's like saying quantity > quality. You guys DO understand that this means 360 has more crappier games? It's interesting that you guys are completely ignoring that point.masterflame10

you DO understand that the 360 also has more good games?

I laugh at the wii terribly bad numbers, kinda surprised by PS3 though, I thought they'd be lower, pretty much expected the 360 to have the highest number of AA+ titles though.Angry_PolarBear
