MetaScores per year (2000 - 2023)

[Conina]

I updated my MetaScore charts (graphics best viewed in fullscreen)

 

My thoughts:

• Switch had a great year of quality games, even if many of them are ports and/or smaller games
• PC had a stagnation of 90+ titles and a decline of 85+, 80+ and even 75+ titles... I hope that trend turns around next year
• all other platforms had a huge increase of 90+ titles... are reviewers getting lenient on the 90% barrier or was it really such a good year?
• quality iOS/Android games are getting rarer every year (from almost 200 games with 80+ in 2011/2012 to 45 games in 2018
• so a lot of indie developers seem to shift from iOS/Android to Switch (better visibility, much higher price acceptance)
• Switch after 22 months has almost double of 90%, 85% and 80%+ titles than WiiU in all its lifetime, 75+ almost tripled
• the comparison between the number of quality titles on Switch and 3DS in their first 22 months is insane, f.e. 169 vs. 19 games (80+)
• WiiU, Vita and 3DS support is dead

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all of you!
