Do you think most of the video games out there are good?

That, I believe, was part of the reason Nintendo had implemented their Seal of Quality (or whatever the official name was) and limited the number of games that could be released during the NES and I think even the SNES times. I'm not sure it's only 1%, and it depends on personal preferences, but I would probably agree that the majority of games aren't so great, but must be profitable enough otherwise more companies would probably have stopped. Just have to hope that the fewer gems shine brightly enough to not repeat the problems of the crash.

 Nintendo got a pretty nasty reputation amongt third-party developers in the 80s because they were being charged with being pretty abusive with the Seal of Quality.  They turned down a good deal of the really early 8-bit games because they didn't "pass" for a good game.  Granted, it was a wise move on Nintendo's part, because the ability of anyone and everyone to legally develop games for the system then sell it without licensing it is a fair chunk of what killed Atari (and almost the industry itself).

 

Most games that are made are shit.

Most games that get licensed are good.
