Quite strange. Maybe a lot of bad unknow games lowering wiiu score. If by publisher or developer they would score much better.

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 best place to play!



Thanks jlmurph!

Ive been saying this forever, glad you laid it out in black and white.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

the best ps4 games are mostly remastered though (gta V, last of us, tomb raider, diablo, minecraft, dark souls 2 are all in the top 20)

gta, tomb raider, diablo, minecraft, dark souls 2 are also on XB1. There's a lot more games on the PS4's side which makes it's lead more impressive.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

yeah but they are not on wii u. Wii u only got windwaker hd and some ~6month-1year old last gen ports (which you couldnt get on wii). If you own a ps4/xbox one your probl owned a ps3/360 before, so they ps4 doesnt offer alot "new" things there. Old wii owners got "more" games on wii u.
At all i would say all consoles are on a similar level.

Please, tell me that doesnt include multiplatform games, because it makes no sense if that's the case

PS4 versions have much more reviews since most review multiplatform on PS4, and X1 versions have very few reviews on metacritic, that makes really no sense to include multiplatform games between both since the real metascore will be the one from the PS4 version with the most reviews, you can only include multiplatform like X1/360/PC or PS4/Vita/PS3/PC



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

And people say Wii U has better games than PS4...
Good work dude!

If Ps4 has 4 games with a 78

And WiiU has 3 games with a 90 and one with a 35

Ps4: 78

WiiU: 76

But wich one has the best games? Can´t you see how useless is this thread?

Not to talk about the insane amount of las gen remakes that PS4 has and WiiU (thanks to BC) doesn´t, but perhaps we should count Wii games as well since you can play them on WiiU.
