Since ioi has finally added good old charts for old(er) games, I decided to put this list out for next-gen (mainy X360) consoles.

 Okay, just before I get into the lists, there's a disclaimer/warning: it's mostly X360 titles. Why? I wanted to pick older titles that either aren't in the top 200, or are atleast as old as late 2006. Because of this, most games are X360, as it only covers the Wii/PS3's launches, and their top-50 games, therefore the PS3 isn't well represented (3 games).

They are organized by genre, so we can get a good look at a few of the differences between genres. Action/Adventure is obviously the largest, and most bland, as I had to put about 5 kinds of genres.

Nevertheless, the charts!

 RPGs. Doesn't include Phantasy Star (X360)

 Anyways, we see a rather hugely varied list, thus far of multipliers. Some games were escewed (PS3 games, most notably) due to low adoption rates @ launch, then strong sales afterwards. Nevertheless, we can see a general pattern with the shooters, as a "typical" tier ratio seems to be in the 4.0~6.0 area for most general games. This number, interestingly enough, is totally inclusive of every kind of opening - small and large.

 

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
