Five 90(+) Games On PS4: Current State + Comparison PS3, X360 and One

[elazz]

A quick check on metacritic can easilty show a general view on how games are received. And just before Destiny reviews come in wanted to check how the current state is for the PS4. 

Currently the PS4 has 5 games that have reached a metacritic score of 90 or higher. However these are all games that have been released on other platforms before. And everyone probably knows which game is on top. If people think that this says something about the generation then they are right. But not in the way they think it does. I'll explain later. Let's take a look to the games that are just beneath the best of the gen. In the 80s range we can find 34 games. 

Know I wanted to know how this relates to the previous generation and wow, I'm shocked. I think that we're too spoiled lately that we can't appreciate the fact that the current gen has the best library in terms of launch. 

Let's compare with the PS3, Xbox 360 and One:

> The PS3 had as of 10 September 2007 only one game with a 90+ score which was The Elder Scrolls 4 and 28 games had scored a score in the 80s

> As of the 15th of September in 2006 the Xbox 360 had 3 games with an excellent metacritic score and 30 games with an 80-89 score. More in line with the launch of the PS4.

> The Xone has 1 game with a 90+ score, 15 games have score in the 80s. Certain multiplatform games trail 1-3 points behind the PS4 counterpart but that may be because of fewer scores and different judgement regarding the quality of the game.

> According to metacritic everything above a 75 is considered as a good game (nothing more nothing less). The amount the PS4 currently has is 56, the xbox 360 had 54 in more or less the same timeframe and the PS3 had 39 games with a good score. Shockinly the Xbox One only has 28 games with a good score. And even though a couple games like Metro haven't received an review update yet, the number would still be significantly lower than the PS3 release.

Conclusion: PS4 doing great, Xbox 360 did amazing back then, I could understand where the "PS3 has no gamez comes from", Xbox One is a bit sad. 

Here is a table to make it easier:

THE METACRITIC GAME
	90-100	80-89	75-79	Total
PS4	5	34	17	56
PS3	1	28	10	39
Xone	1	15	12	28
X360	3	30	21	54
