Xbox360: The highest quality games with the lowest flop rate

As we all know there has been a lot of flopping going on lately. The Wii's big titles have been struggling to meet there hype, and I won't even get into the PS3.

But then you look at the 360..... TWO games have flopped, neither which of was even hyped AAA. And remember the 360 has been out twice as long which means 2x as much time to rack up flops. But is hasnt. Only 2 games flopped, These 2 games being Crackdown which missed its hype by .2 and Blue Dragon(6.0) However when you compare these 2 non major games to the number of other 360 AAEs and AAAEs, you see that there is a world of difference between the ratio of 360 quality games to flops. Perhaps other developers should follow in these footsteps and delay there games if necissary to meet expectations.

360 Flop rate: 10%

Wii Flop rate: 50%

PS3 Flop rate: 90%

EDIT

Lets also compare the top 3 highest profile relases on each console

Wii:

Legend of Zelda TP: FLOP

Metroid Prime 3: FLOP

Super Paper Mario: FLOP

PS3:

Heavenly Sword: FLOP

Lair: MEGA FLOP

R&C: FLOP

360:

Halo3: AAA

Gears of war: AAA

Forza 2: AAA

How much time did it take you to calculate those percentages? :P

but yeah I agree with your very complex but easy to understand theory.

I shall know respond with my patenent response to threads like this:

meh.

Crackdown got done dirty like R&C. That game was fantastic.usmcjdk6

remembered and bought for the Halo 3 beta.

And didn't Two Worlds flop?

You forgot to mention that the 360 hardware itself flops for most people (RROD)Number_1_Gamer

most implies over 50%... sorry!

And this flop is a free fix ;)

If use "flop rate" for any kind of desicion about consoles then you are pretty stupid. A flop means that gamespot scored a game lower than that predicted in the system wars internet forum. If no-one hypes a single game for a console then it would have zero flops. If people think that every game on a console is going to suck then it will have zero flops even if all but a few of its games are crap.

Stick to judging by the actual quality of titles, flops are just for making fun of people, an 8.5 flop is rated just as good as an 8.5 non-flop.

its just unfortunate the system it self flops pretty damn often

mine hasnt though, but most of my friends have had to send theirs back at one point or another

Dude, do you seriously want me to list all of the PS3 flops? And two, HOV wasn't hyped.

Well technically PGR3 and Dead Rising also flopped. I distinctly remember those being hyped AAA.

But that's still a pretty low amount of flopsall things considered.

Too me it seems like this site is more leniant towards HIGH profile 360 games...they make the same comments in reviews for Halo 3 and Forza 2, but did not slaughther them like they did with R&C, Metroid, and of course Zelda.

But, none of this matters because after all, it is just a number.
