Also another thing to consider is that for most people the marginal benefit of more games decreases with each game, and the marginal cost increases with each game. If one platform has 10 games in the 70's and 8 games in the 80's while another console has 10 games in the 80's and 4 in the 70's which is the better platform? (Let's assume quality is proportional to review score.) Well maybe I only have time/money for 10 games anyway. So as long as diversity is the same (meaning the games will be in genres I am interested in) it makes more sense for me to buy the console with the 10 games in the 80's, even though the total number of games over 70 might be fewer. However, different platforms have different genre densities and that confuses things further.
