Yes, but on average the PS2 still had the worst library of the four consoles last gen going by Metacritic.

Rol don't do this, you know what evil this may unleash

I am just stating a fact, even if it is absolutely useless.

@psrock: Yes, I am sure. Some website once had a comparison of Metacritic scores between 6th and 7th gen consoles and the PS2 and Wii had the lowest averages of their generation. Obviously because they attracted the most shovelware due to their popularity. If you consider that many crappy games aren't even reviewed at all, it would even get worse for those consoles.

You missed out one thing though

The PS2 had 63 games with over 90 aveg, which was more than the xbox and Cube put togheter. I think they made up beautifully for those shovelwares.

Moving on.

The PS2 also had like two or three times as many games as the Xbox and GC combined. That easily offsets the higher number of good games. It just goes to show how silly Carl's original point was. Most people don't mind if there are 1,000 bad games, if they have enough good games to choose from. So when comparing libraries of consoles it makes more sense to focus only on the good games instead of the libraries as a whole. Why bother with the irrelevant trash you won't play anyway?

People do play the irrelevant trash though.

Example.
