Around the Network

Metacritics go down as the consoles get older and older. Poor Uncharted, it should be at least 94, same with Gears 3. I guess the 3 after both of their names makes reviewers nitpick more.



The poor Wii. All but abandoned by 3rd parties, it languishes behind its HD brethren.



Those best exclusives make good sense.



           

The user scores are closer to the truth than the metascores.

Poor Wii, at least what I assume the two 'Great games' are (Skyward Sword and Xenoblade Chronicles) are two of the best games I have ever played with the latter being arguably my favourite game of the gen.

IMO 2011 was a mixed year, the first half was very disappointing, but the second was fantastic. To name a few it saw releases of Xenoblade Chronicles, Skyward Sword, Super Mario 3DLand, Mario Kart 7, Tales of the Abyss 3D, Uncharted 3, Monster Hunter 3G, PSV launch, etc.

(But it was locked by a mod because the truth hurts)

Congratulations to PS3 for Winning 2011.



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

The Wii made a game this last year that wasn't Skyward Sword?  Color me surprised.
