Forums - Gaming Discussion - Metacritic's Game Publisher Ranking 2011

http://www.metacritic.com/feature/game-publisher-rankings-for-2011-releases

1. Microsoft

2. Nintendo

3. Sony

4. EA

While Microsoft doesn't have the strongest 1st party titles, Microsoft has spent their money on third party titles and a lot of downloadable games.  18 out of 25 games they published had positive reviews (72% and up).



Just want to play good games

Around the Network

Sony and Ubisoft jumped up quite a bit in the charts compared to last year. Especially Ubisoft. Must be because of the great Rayman Origins.



Microsoft showing quality > quantity.



                            

Awaiting fireworks.

Well, not really.

SONY had 4 games that achieved 90 or higher.

From what I can see on that page, Nintendo had at least 3.

Microsoft had 2.

So out of the best of the best (according to metacritic scores), SONY and Nintendo have more.

Clearly you missed how MS had a higher total metacritic average then Sony. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Nope, I saw that. Just going off of the best of the best games (90+), Microsoft is below SONY and Nintendo.
