Have to say the Metascore averages are a more interesting comparison than sales this generation; they are quite close with a 68-72% spread between the three.

I imagine the Wii U average has been lowered by widely varying quality amongst third party support; naturally their own software always rates high in quality.

The XBO average suffers from receiving a higher number of lesser quality (or lower performance) third party versions of multiplatform games than the PS4.

The PS4 average if anything, will be affected by having a higher volume of games as the platform of choice in terms of marketshare, which invariably means the addition of mediocre or questionable quality games.

The other interesting thing to note here is the level of software support as indicated by the number of titles included in the ratings averages which falls directly in line with marketshare percentages.
