S.Peelman said: As I suspected, 1998 has the most entries and the 5th generation as a whole wins. Also, the nineties as a decade win easily as every year except 1990 has at least one entry in my list. The latter part of the decade is the heaviest, understandably, as that was the 5th generation. |
I elaborated on that part. Just because I could, and because everyone's naming the years now :
So, indeed the 5th Gen pops out, but there's a slight overlap in the later years with (DC) 6th Gen games. The 4th and 7th Gen have also done well, though a couple of the games 2011 and up are 8th Gen games similar to the 5th to 6th situation. The 6th Gen does looks better in this chart than it was in reality though, as nearly all those games in those years are PC games on the list. What also pops out is a year like 2001, with nothing right between two quite successful years. It's a shame though, because it kills what would have been a nice streak!
Mmmm, let's see what else I can cook up soon, this is almost as fun as writing the list itself...
