Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 has the best rated game library. (percentage) while wii has the lowest!

Staude on 02 May 2008

Sorry if this has been posted before, didn't see it.

 

Nintendo’s latest entrant into the console war has no doubt been the company’s most successful entry since the original Nintendo Entertainment System in the 80s. The Wii has managed to continually sell out in stores since its release in November of 2006. In just a meager year and half, its already managed to outsell its predecessor, the Gamecube. It shattered the PS2’s record of selling 10 million consoles in the US by a near 4 months. It currently holds the most market share out of the next gen systems. Nintendo, without a doubt, must be extremely proud of Miyamoto’s latest brain child.

That being said, there is something seriously wrong with the Nintendo Wii. No, its not that it doesn’t have the graphical capabilities of the 360/PS3. Nor is it the lackluster online service Nintendo provides either. It isn’t the paltry amount of hard drive space, sometimes unresponsive accelerometers of the nunchuck, or even the chuckle-inspiring name of the console. Its the software library.

BY COMPARISON

Since its release in 2005, there have been some 374 games released for the XBox 360. Of the 374, 86 titles have received a ‘good’ rating(an average ranking of 80% or higher, as per GameRankings). 92 have received ‘poor’ ratings(an average of lower than 60%). That means about 26% of the games for the 360 are ‘good’, and about 24% are considered trash. The PS3 has seen 122 games released, with 40(33%) good games and 20(17%) poor games(ironic considering the most common argument against the PS3 is a lack of good games).

The Wii, released alongside the PS3 in November 2006, has seen a considerable 189 games released. Of these titles, a whoping 69, or 37% are complete trash. On the flipside, there are only 20 good games, making up a minuscule 11% - and of those 20, 4 of them are ports of last generation PS2/Gamecube games! What happened?

One word.

 And people say the ps3 has no good games ?... lol.. 40 games above 80 is pretty nice. Especially concidering it's only been out for a year (in europe. 1.5 in USA and Japan)

god this again

ive seen it like at least two times in two other threads!!!


lol but no worries, im not lambasting u or anything
posting the same old stuff is common
i-hate-wii-week was last week me thinks though :)


OP: u may be right, but u have to remember IGN and
other gaming sites are hardcore/ core players; most of
the Wii's library is for casuals--which is dumb cuz these
games get downgraded for it.

But who cares! Just play the games u like
and forget about the others

Can we make it one day without getting a new stupid thread like this?

Maybe I'll start a thread about how bad the 360 is doing in Japan.

 There is a search engine right under the number of users. It's been there for about a month now.

Its well known that reviewers tend to rate games based on a 'hardcore' criteria. Succesful games such as Nintendogs, Brain Training, Sight Training and Wii Sports recieve surprisingly low scores because the harcore press don't understand how to evaluate non traditional games fairly. Because of the high ratio of non traditional titles, both the DS and the Wii average lower scores than the competition which is inconsistent with the reality of gamer preferences. Sales are a more accurate reflection of mainstream tastes than reviews. :P

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

How come we have millions of articles about meaningless stuff like this, but none about the PS3 still having zero exclusives with an average score of 90+? That would be cherry picking as well to a certain degree, but all the negative press towards the Wii really shows how out of touch the media is.

 I wasn't trying to bash the wii. Even though it's not my cup of tea. Sorry if i made it appear so. :)

 

My point was simply that a lot of people still for some odd reason seem to claim that the playstation three has no good titles. This is the proof that they are wrong.
