I updated my MetaScore charts (graphics best viewed in fullscreen)
My thoughts:
- more games with a MetaScore of 75% and above in 2017 due to a new platform (Switch) with good support
- slightly more games with a MetaScore of 80% and above in 2017 due to the Switch launch
- stagnating number of games with a MetaScore of 85% compared to 2016 (Nintendo gained, Xbox + PC lost)
- overall less games with a MetaScore of 90% and above... did the expectations get higher or were there really less great games?
- PC, PS4 and XBO each less than half of 90%+ games compared to 2016
- Switch had a great launch year with five 90%+ titles after 10 months
- Switch after 10 months is on par with WiiU after 26 months (number of 90%+, 85%+ and 80%+ titles)
- Switch support after 10 months is much better than 3DS after 22 months, finally a Nintendo system with proper 3rd party support
- WiiU support is dead... besides Zelda, only one other game got a MetaScore in 2017
- as much as I love my Vitas... support is dying there, too
Oh, and Merry Christmas to all of you!
