Alright I decided to check Conina's list. I used Opencritic and counted all the games rated 80 or higher with at least 10 starred reviews (A.K.A Official Critics). I didn't count games that were just updated versions of old games like Persona 5 Royal, or DQ11S. Also didn't count expansions unless they were significant ala Fallout 3's Broken Steel or Oblivion's Shivering Isles. Finally, I'm leaving sports games off the list, due to them being irrelevant just a few years after release.

Anyway, the current count for 2020 is...

PC 58
PS4 44
XB1 34
Switch 30

The interesting thing here is how much the Indie scene has taken off in the last decade. I knew there were a bunch of great indie games out there, but as far as quality games go they drown out pretty much everything. Especially on PC. I'll go back and do another count some other time just counting games with graphics that can't be run on a toaster. Switch, PC, and XB1 are heavily propped up by Indie games, and PS4 definitely has a problem getting Indies onto its system. Switch's library looks a hell of a lot better than Xbox's due to Switch having unique games, while Xbox is mostly just a smattering of whatever PC or PS4 got. If you own a PS4 you've got more 2020 games to play than Xbox. If you own a PC you've got more 2020 games to play than Xbox.

Here's the list if we take out most of the Indies, with the exception of a few that have PS3/360 level graphics.


PS4 25
PC 22
XB1 21
Switch 6

P.S.

I'd love to do the same list for 2019, 2018, etc., but Opencritic makes it insanely hard to count these games, due to them putting games with only 4 or 7 reviews in with the list. So I have to manually check any game to see if it breaks the 10 Official review threshhold. I miss gamerankings. -_-

P.P.S. 2020 has been a pretty abysmal year for Switch in terms of big new AAA games.

P.P.P.S. Late releases like Monster Hunter Iceborne and Death Stranding were counted for PC, while PS5 Demon Soul's remake wasn't counted for PS4.

P.P.P.P.S If you have a Switch/PS4 combo you've got pretty much everything. Same goes for PC/Switch. An Xbox/Switch combo leaves quite a bit out.
