The two highest rated console titles of 2015 are Japanese

Before you ask, i'm using the entries with the most reviews, so for instance MGS5 is a 93, not a 95.

MGS5 at 93 and Bloodborne at 92

Witcher 3 being the third highest rated does balance it out, but I thought it was curious. And there's still Fallout 4 left to change things up I suppose.

2014 was not all that different

Super smash bros, Dark souls 2 and Bayonetta 2, with the TLOU and GTA remaster/re-releases being the only real western challengers

 

Different from previous years (2013: GTAV, TLOU, Bioshock infinite) (2012: ME3, Walking Dead and Journey, with P4golden being the japanese challenger) (2011: Arkham City, Skyrim, Portal 2), higher western dominance.

What do you think 2016 will look like?
