Sooooo. In the only two times since the video game depression that the company with the highest selling console shifted, (Sony taking the lead with PS1, and Nintendo with Wii) the consoles are performing just about exactly the same in quality of games reviewed within the first 15 months.
Depending on where you want to cut off shovelware. Wii and PS have the exact same percentage at <2.9. At <3.9 the Wii only has 0.4% more shovelware. Looking at good reviews the Wii is only 2.2% or 1.5% behind PS with games above 7 and 8. But the Wii is a bit better than the PS in the median being 6.2 as opposed to 6.0.
Though, I have been wrong when I've posted statements that the PS2 had as much, or the same percentage of shovelware as Wii. Through this research, I find that I've been incorrect in thinking that. But, I have been right in saying that the Wii is performing the same as Playstation 1 when it comes to shovelware. And that's what matters more. The only other time that the highest selling console changed hands.
Edit: Note: Yesterday I said Wii had 34 games with a 3.9 score or below. It's actually 32. For some reason I thought 18 + 14 = 34 yesterday. Today I used a calculator ::grin::
