| Steve 3.2 said: I think it would be even more interesting to do the reverse -- take the top 20 selling games for each system and provide their metascore. Thanks for putting this together! With all the links and research, it probably took you a couple of hours to create this post. |
The links didn't take any time, they carried over when I copied and pasted from Metacritic rankings.
I was hoping to look at it from the other direction also, maybe I'll get around to that eventually.
Also here's a link to some other information on the relationship between scores and sales.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
