Please note that the Ps3 version of walking dead didn't make the list due to only having 3 reviews where as the 360 had ten reviews.

All in all the avg is pretty close, the Wii/WiiU had a highest percent of Good games, the Ps3 just comes out on top for having more So-So games and less Bad games when the 360 & Wii/WiiU.

Edit: Damn pie chart vanished ill try fix :P

The year of downloadable games

Average quality isn't really a useful stat. If one console gets some 5 extra dreadful games and one extra splendid game, that console did better but it wouldn't appear that way.

Why? It has 2 more good exclusives and 1 more great game. That way more than makes up for the 0.8 point lower average. Sales2099 is gonna love this!



Bet with Turkish 1 month sig control: He wins if Playstation All Stars: BR sells more than 5m, I win if it doesn't. I won.

Bet with Conegamer for 1 month sig control: He wins if Orbis/Durango have 3GB of RAM or less, I win if both have more than 3GB. I won.

Bet with man-bear-pig for 1 month avatar control: He wins if Vita sells less than 6.5M in 2013, I win if it sells more.

Bet with MARCUSDJACKSON for 1 month sig control: I win if there is an official price cut for Vita before E3 2013. He wins if there is a price cut at E3. If there is no pricecut until after E3 we both lose.

Nah. I own more great games/exclusives for Wii than they consider great, haha.
Internet is fun times. Critics, gotta love them. Same with music, books and movies.

Guys, I'm just messing with him.

I'm pretty sure his thread is about exclusives anyways.
