Have read a few comments over this gen where people have said platform X has the best games based on either the top 10 metacritic scores or top 20, thought I'd do an average of the total scores for each Gen 8 platform to see whats what.
Results are:
Wii U: 68.14% from 206 games
XB1: 70.64% from 223 games
PS4: 72.06% from 286 games
Personally I was surprised by both Nintendo and XB1 scores. Nintendo because I thought it would be higher given the calibre of Nintendo and the lower amount of shovelware this gen, and XB1 because its quite close to the PS4 despite known performance deficits especially in 3rd party games. PS4 comes out on top and with the most reviewed games, impressive despite being on the market a full year less than the Wii U.
Overall quite close despite the rhetoric that comes out sometimes, anyone else surprised?

The Wii U gets pushed down by its eShop titles, as there are not enough good titles to counterbalance the bad ones there, even with less shovelware than last gen. And the third party titles to counterbalance them are also not there anymore.
The Xbox titles don't get downgraded much for their lower visuals compared to the PS4 versions - if they get downgraded at all, as many sites and magazines give the same rating to all versions unless one is clearly different and only tell the difference in text or a comparision box. So, the low difference makes sense.
